I didn't see the match so I'm not going to comment on it, but rather on the theory behind it. This kinda reeks of Kurt Angle wanting so desperately to be a MMA fighter, but knowing he'd get his ass fucked up if actually stepped into the octagon with a legit MMA fighter. He's talked for years about doing it, even said he's fighting Chuck Liddell (until Chuck said, um no...you're not), but to do it this way is just.....gay. Either be a pro wrestler...or go be MMA guy, but don't try to stage some sort of MMA-TNA wrestling/shoot fight match.
Even though he lost to Frank Mir, at least Brock Lesnar actually put his money where his mouth is and went into MMA. He didn't go to Vince and try and put together a half MMA, half wrestling match. It would be like me telling you guys I'm good enough to play in the NBA, yet I only go and play pick-up games against NBADL guys at the YMCA.
Kurt, you say your good enough....you say you want to do it....then go fucking DO it. The REAL thing, not a fake ass match with Samoa Joe. Be a wrestler or be a MMA fighter, but stop trying to be both, especially in a wrestling ring. Dana White has extended numerous offers to him, but he never accepts. Does he think this match with Joe somehow proves something?
