I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I was somewhat surprised to see a Daffney tweet show up on my timeline. I almost never see her tweet for some reason, and forgot I was even following her. But more surprised when I saw this.

It was an interesting night for Kurt Angle on Twitter last night. Angle posted several controversial tweets, some of which you can read below and some that have since been deleted. No response yet from Shawn Michaels or Steve Austin.

"I'm training for Olympics. Every Wrestler is terrified of me that they will get tired"

"@steveaustinBSR @ShawnMichaels But Could Either of U take Me as a Shoot? Be Honest! I Respect You Both!"

"@steveaustinBSR @ShawnMichaels by the way! I Love Austin and Michaels. Just Joking. U guys are legends!"

"I Became a top star in 1 year, but it took Shawn and Austin 15years. Hello?"

"I have not touched a pill 8 yrs. up urs"

"@JRsBBQ @IAmJericho How do You feel about that. I'm the Best today! If Wwe never wants Me, their Mistake. What then?"

After a fan said go back to WWE and take Sting with you:
"I wish. Sting will stay in tna"

Angle posted several other tweets, cussing at fans and joking about WWE talents, but those have since been deleted. He told fans that he was not drinking and that his account was not hacked this time.

He didn't challenge Puder, though. Puder is an rear end in a top hat who took advantage of a work on live television. In a fight they were both expecting, I think Angle would do better for himself.

That said, he's insane and I'm really afraid that he'll either die in the ring or kill himself in the next year or two.

Maybe, but Puder has five inches and probably 30 lbs on Angle, plus he's 13 years younger and is in possession of a functional neck.

To be fair, Angle's competitive nature got him into that mess in the first place and if the refs didn't find a way to stop it, his arm would have been broken that night.

Uh, no not at all. The Tough Enough guys were put through exhausting trials to soften them up for angle and then were put in with Angle with the idea that Angle would humble them. It wasn't supposed to be a work, it was supposed to be real, which is why they worked the guys to the point of exhaustion before hand. Puder just had the ability to fight back.

Tried to fill them up on milk and pastas before hand if I remember his interview in Powerslam correctly. Basically worked them to exhaustion on a full stomach to make them throw up and then threw them into the ring to get torn apart by Kurt Angle, who whatever you think about him, is a high calibre wrestler.

Puder was the only one that figured out what they were trying to do and embarrassed them all for it. Then he got jobbed out, placed into the Royal Rumble to get stiffed by Chris Benoit, Hardcore Holly and Eddie Gurrerro and was shortly fired there after. He really was in a damned if you do, damned if you don't position.

The whole concept of the Smackdown Tough Enough, at least from how I interpreted it, was to give these guys a "crash course dues pay" instead of a "crash course wrestling training". Which is loving stupid, flawed and a huge mistake from the get go. Of course, Puder tried to get around paying dues by shooting back. Hence the burial.

I have little against the Tough Enough concept. Where my problem is, is how it's all executed. If these kids are getting a crash course into becoming a wrestler, it should be getting trained more days than what a regular wrestler gets an opportunity to because they have other responsibilities. Three months of five days a week wrestling training that lasts 7-10 hours a day which includes training in the ring, training in the gym, training for their cardio and training by watching tapes while road agents/trainers/veterans explain to them what they are watching.

By the end of Tough Enough, the final four should be trained wrestlers. The winner gets to go straight to WWE TV (where he should be half the time placed immediately with a veteran wrestler in a tag team situation) while the runners up go to FCW to continue their development. Whoever else showed promise should be helped in getting bookings on the independents and an opportunity to come back for a try out.

I sometimes wonder how things would have gone if the ref (Lil Naitch?) hadn't caught on and rang the bell because Puder's shoulder was on the mat. Otherwise, Angle would have eventually tapped, and the WWE would have been in a frenzy.

Angle's stubborn, he'd rather get his arm broken than tap. WWE had to protect him from himself (which TNA has tended to fail at doing, given all his outbursts).

True. What would have happened? Would the WWE have tried to shove it under the rug and fire Puder immediately, or would they have pushed him as 'The Guy Who Snapped Angle's Arm' and let him ride that however far it took him?

Pretty much this. If Puder had forced Angle to tap or broken his arm, that would have instantly spelled the end of his time in WWE. There are very few individuals on the roster that WWE (like most every other wrestling promotion) would allow to get away with going into business for themselves like that, whether it was justified or a misunderstanding or whatever. Puder at that time drat sure wasn't one of 'em.

If they'd have pushed him it would have set the precedent that the best way to get a push was to go out and embarrass (or legit injure) a top star, and I don't think any promotion wants to open up that can of worms.

No matter the ridiculousness of it and how crazy it was they made such a huge real life thing into an angle, we did get a pretty drat cool cage match out of it from Angle/Jarrett where Angle went into full-on T-1000 mode.

It was so ridiculous that it was great. Angle takes a top rope Ganso Bomb...but almost immeadiately gets up and runs across the ring to give Jarrett a top rope Angle slam. Which is followed up a little later with a moonsault OFF THE CAGE, and then nearly breaks Jarrett's ankle with his pitbull style ankle lock.

poo poo ending, but the match was so ridiculous it was awesome. Some of it is in this video around 1:45

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeK-esaWOec

On a funny note, it's crazy to see the motivation (or lack there of) TNA will give to its main eventers if you compare what RVD looks like in the Lockdown 2010 highlights (his first TNA PPV) and a year later at Lockdown 2011 with his five star beer gut.

True. I guess maybe I thought they'd have been willing to take a chance on him as a legitimate threat to ANYONE if that had happened, but that's just dumb wishful thinking on my part. Maybe that would have worked in a shoot-style puro fed. I think he'd have done great in BATTLARTS or some other shooty fed.
