Kurt Angle Was a Fan of the Legends Title


In the world of professional wrestling, titles aren't just pieces of gold and leather; they carry with them a sense of prestige, honor, and a representation of the blood, sweat, and tears shed by the competitors who strive to hold them. One title that stands out in this regard is the TNA Legends Title. Recently, on his podcast "The Kurt Angle Show," the Olympic Gold Medalist and wrestling legend Kurt Angle shared his thoughts on this unique championship.


The TNA Legends Title had been a bit controversial with fans at the time. Kurt Angle, a household name in the industry, expressed his fondness for the Legends Title during a recent episode of The Kurt Angle Show. Angle's perspective shed light on what makes this title not just another piece of wrestling hardware, but a symbol of heritage and aspiration.


“I liked it because if you’re a legends champion, you’re either a legend or you’re going to be a future legend," Angle mused on his podcast. "And I think it’s a really cool name for a title, you know, legends title. It means you’re not the champion, but you’re a legend. I like it.”


Angle's words capture the essence of what the Legends Title represents. It's not just about being the champion; it's about embracing the legacy of those who came before and striving to leave a mark that future generations will remember. The title's name encapsulates the idea that the holder is connected to wrestling's storied past and is on a trajectory toward becoming a legend themselves.





The name "Legends Title" itself carries weight. It's a declaration that the bearer is more than just a momentary champion. They are a part of wrestling history and a part of the narrative that continues to unfold with each passing match. This connection to the past and the future is what makes the TNA Legends Title truly unique.


Angle's appreciation for the Legends Title is a testament to his deep respect for the business and its traditions. As a wrestling icon who has achieved greatness on numerous platforms, Angle's endorsement of this title adds to its credibility and significance.


In a world where championship titles are often seen as just another accessory for a wrestler's persona, the TNA Legends Title stands as a reminder of the rich tapestry of wrestling lore. It serves as a bridge between generations and a source of inspiration for those who seek to etch their names in the annals of wrestling greatness.


Kurt Angle's thoughts on the TNA Legends Title remind us that wrestling isn't just about the battles within the ring; it's about the stories, the legends, and the connections that define the sport. The Legends Title, with its evocative name and the admiration of wrestling legends like Kurt Angle, continues to be a symbol of honor and aspiration, embodying the very essence of what it means to be a wrestling champion.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How t...

When Will Brock Lesnar Actually Retire?

Brock Lesnar appeared to retire at WrestleMania this past April. He took off the boots after he lost to Oba Femi and it appeared to fans that he retired. Brock however returned on last week’s Raw and attacked Oba Femi. Shocking the wrestling community. Brock and Femi’s rematch has been confirmed for this weekend at Clash in Italy. When will Brock Lesnar actually retire?  The most obvious place and time is SummerSlam on the first weekend in August from U.S Bank Stadium in Brock’s (billed from) hometown Minneapolis, Minnesota. The stadium can sit almost 73,000 people. In order to fill a venue this big you have to have marquee matches. Brock Lesnar’s retirement would put butts in seats. He’s one of the biggest draws in combat sports history, and one of the most polarizing figures in wrestling. Brock’s star-making moment happened at SummerSlam 2002 when he beat The Rock to become the youngest WWE Champion in history.  The next choice is this Sunday in Turin, Italy. Maybe Brock bea...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

  John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair.  Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody.  If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...
