Kool Kurt threatens to leave TNA, AJ's basehead jumpoff angle coming to an end

[Black Thunder]

Earlier this morning Kurt Angle posted the following on his Twitter account.

"If Tna Uses Me as the top Guy I Will Stay. I Love Tna. If Not, I Will Make A Business Decision."

It appears as if someone may be sending TNA a message, or his account was "hacked" again.


According to sources, word is that TNA will be wrapping up the Claire Lynch angle, possibly this week on TV when they do the AJ Styles paternity test segment.

While nothing is confirmed, there seems to be a situation with the actress (real name Julia Reilly) playing the role of Claire Lynch.

We reported last week that the woman portraying Claire Lynch—purportedly pregnant with AJ Styles' child—on iMPACT! Wrestling is Julia Reilly, an Orlando-based actress and model. She is 36-years-old and has 15 years of acting experience. After her identity was exposed last week by Live Audio Wrestling and across wrestling message boards, Reilly made a concerted effort to erase her Internet presence.

TNA Wrestling held an audition a few months ago for the role and she was chosen because she resides in Orlando, where iMPACT! is taped, which saves them money on airfare.

In an update on this, a source notes that TNA was informed that Reilly also works at Universal Studios Orlando—where iMPACT! is taped—as Olive Oyl by the theme park's "Popeye" ride. It is something Reilly has tried to conceal—she did not list it in her resume, which she deleted last week after her identity was revealed online.

Also, a video surfaced online of TClaire Lynch appearing in an infomercial last year for 360 Cookware, a Stainless Steel Cookware Set. This video was briefly removed but is now back online with embedding and comments abilities disabled.

Lynch has not appeared on TNA Wrestling programming since her identity was revealed. She was, however, acknowledged on Thursday's episode of iMPACT! Wrestling as AJ Styles said he must have been drugged to sleep with a "foot" like Claire. She was also referred to as a "lizard."

Yeah they buried her pretty good during that segment this past Thursday. Not sure what's up with Kurt I don't really wanna see him be a main event guy at this point in TNA maybe he can go back to the E.

As a TNA hater since '06-'07, it's actually been pretty decent. It's just certain angles and every few episodes that makes you wonder what the hell they're doing.

Other than that, the booking of things like the BFG series has been pretty good.

Kurt PLEASE come on home and give us the classic matches that only you can deliver to us and retire with a HOF induction and dvd documentary.

[thevarangian]

I would like to see Angle vs. Bryan

 

[Jello Biafra]

As much as I like Kurt, his being champ does nothing for TNA and I can't see any potential storyline that would makehim as champ more interesting than any other of the top guys in the company.
Hell if the belt were to go on someone outside of the Aries/Roode/Storm circle I'd prefer it be Bully Ray.

 

[TRIPLE M]

I would like to see Angle vs. Bryan

this

come home KURT
We need that bryan vs angle match at wrestlemania at giants stadium next year

i feel like he would get a massive pop if his theme ever dropped again.

i think the e needs to be more careful managing returning wrestlers. if they know the wrestler is going to get a pop larger than usual from a smark crowd or somethin, they shouldn't introduce the wrestler to that crowd unless they plan on pushing him at the level of the pop they received. for instance, if they think angle would get a huge pop at a certain location, but don't plan on booking him to be a major star again, then they should wait to introduce him to a lesser crowd, to make his stature in the company seem more logical.

hartford gave out huge pops to vader and ziggler, and rumors were surfacing that they were planning on bringing vader back, then ziggler started to get this push. but with on and off responses for zigs since then, it may be clouding the direction that creative had planned to go with him, resulting in this weirdly booked situation now. jericho received huge pops too when he first got back, but they didn't book him accordingly, until tonight, when he beat ziggler, the one time where he definitely should have lost, since he is leaving. makes no sense

You sure someone didn't "hack" Kurtis' Twitter account again? But yeah, King Kurtis does need to come home and give us a Bryan/Angle match. Hell, do a Punk/Angle match as well just off the fact that both of them pop shyt and apologize later.
