In what years did Kurt Angle start to nocticeably decline in ring?

[Amor fati]

2014-2015 the decline was there.

I think when he got skinny in TNA from the coke abuse

@Riley Escobar

He looked crazy as fukk in TNA
they should’ve gave him a psycho gimmick

 

[Grifter]

When his neck permanently swelled up.

Bruh if you know anything about his life during those days, he didn’t need TNA’s permission to act like a psycho

Its funny cause that Superman cartoon had me thinking Lex was black, and when my dad saw me watching Kurt vs Brock at mania he thought Kurt was a light skinned black man

My grandfather is very light skinned. Him and Kurt angle looked alike and had me confused for years.

After the Mania match vs HBK, he threw selling/psychology to the bushes for a mouthpiece and spanming German suplexes and uppercut forearms

This is closest to the correct answer.

Angle had been throwing psychology to the bushes for mindless move trading since, I dunno, 2004? It got REALLY bad in TNA though.

I don't understand why people see Kurt as an all-time great wrestler at all. All time great talent maybe. He had an excellent run from 2000 to like 2003 where he was one of the best doing it. But basically after Brock fukked his neck up again, Kurt got progressively worse until he was a shell of himself.

His beard looked like it was drawn on.

It wasn't too bad around 2005, but that was the start. He started move-trading and throwing everything he learned out of the window. Honestly, after he dropped the title to Joe, that nikka was done. He was still entertaining but his matches were , and dude was legit trying to kill himself out there.

Late TNA run
