Yep.. he had to stop taking the drugs to sign with the E.... he was doing moonsaults off cages and running up the 3rd rope delivering belly to bellys like 5 months before he came back... and he was still able to straighten his knees
There would be no news articles on this week in week out but Kurt Angle walking down the ramp with them skinny bow legs used to kill me.:russ::dead:

They would have to start doing drugs again.
Everyone in WWF during the Attitude Era never took PEDs.:ufdup:

I meant the wrestlers today are so emotionless. I could watch a match and the before and after promo segments but feel like I just watched paint dry.

Vince needs to put these wrestlers thru real theatre acting classes.:yeshrug:

Nah just stop scripting every damn promo, then maybe it'll sound like they're actually talking and not reciting lines

Lol I ain't even talking the about peds. I'm surprised a few older wrestlers don't have holes in their nose.

You think The Rock and Stone Cold were not fed lines verbatim or script outlines to follow -- it's a TV show. There are supposed to be story arcs to get you invested and if you listen to Stone Cold's podcast you'd know that.

They are not reciting the lines properly because they are not taking the time to learn the craft well.

There's a reason why everyone even down to the lowest card in the Attitude Era had talent. If Al Snow came out of retirement today I'd watch him over Seth Rollins or whatever white guy they wanna push now in a heartbeat.

They weren’t fed lines verbatim, we knew this because scripts from both 2000 and like 2015 have been posted before. They had bullet points in 2000, whereas 2015 they were scripted verbatim.

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.
I truly find it interesting that his whole gimmick is being the GREATEST wrestler ever, but he wasnt anywhere close to it.

Easily one of Michaels' worst mania matches too
