Angle Talks Cena, Batista & MMA

News

Kurt Angle was on 104.5 with Frank Wycheck, who is on the Nashville station each morning, talking about tomorrow’s TNA Slammiversary.

During the interview, according to a report on PWTorch.com, Angle said that he’s negotiating with UFC, BodogFight and EliteXC, said that Cena wasn’t a good wrestler his first two years but is finally getting it, and Batista wouldn’t fit with TNA because despite having charisma, he can’t wrestle or talk and will have a short career.

Wycheck and his Slammiversary opponent James Storm had a tiff over the phone, with Wycheck taunting Storm with Barry Manilow and Storm saying he’s going to mess up Frank’s face.

TNA is doing a lot of local press in Nashville, which is chock full of wrestling this weekend. The fan fest was today, and we have notes from that in our wrestling forum. A lot of TNA stars were at the festival, but not surprisingly, Jeff Jarrett wasn’t there due to family issues.

Matthew Michaels is editor emeritus of Pulse Wrestling, and has been since the site launched.
