3 жыл бұрын

Kurt Angle is a 14-time professional wrestling world champion, with titles collected in WWE, TNA, and Japan. He is in both the WWE and TNA/Impact Hall of Fames, a two-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion, and has also won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Games with, as he likes to say, ‘a broken freaking neck.’ At every stop in his career, Angle has reached the top of the mountain, and now he’s taking his Three I’s; Intensity, Intelligence, and Integrity, to the podcast world as he joins host Conrad Thompson to take a look back at some of the matches, feuds and moments that turned an Olympic gold medalist into one of the greatest sports entertainers of all time. It’s True. It’s damn true

@@nadirsanchez1675 bro you don’t know what your talking about clearly. Wrestlers in the wwe cannot smoke weed, they face a fat fine and they get consistently drug tested. You can literally see that on the company’s website. We are on the internet you got no excuse for being ignorant when u can research pretty much anything. Weed is still illegal on a federal level in America which is why WWE still stop their athletes using it.

@@nadirsanchez1675 bro painkillers is different too weed. Painkillers are 100x worse then weed. It’s bad that wrestlers in the wwe even get a fine for smoking weed. But what I’m saying is as long as weed is illegal federally not just legal by some states regulations the wwe will continue too fine and stop their wrestlers smoking weed because Vince would be too worried about looking bad or upsetting his friends in high places .

@bradw4305 2 жыл бұрын

@@nadirsanchez1675 because whilst weed is legal in a lot of states, if you look at American federal law it’s still an illegal drug. Which is why companies can still get away with discriminating against employees that use marijuana in legal states. It’s a shitshow mate haha basically it’s legal in some states but not because it’s still federally classed as a drug it lets company’s treat it as one.

I think ECW would have flourished if the roster orientated around Kurt, Benoit, rvd, sabu, Bobbie lashley. It could have been used as a platform to propel talents with potential. The show being limited to a 60 to 90 minute slot with a smaller more intimate audience could have been a unique selling point of the show. I'd have loved to watch angle against Benoit weekly with up and coming talent thrown into the mix.. Recreating team angle faction would have been amazing

@stanhenderson9928 3 жыл бұрын

Damn I wish RVD wouldn't have gotten caught with the weed charge, he probably wouldve had a good run and maybe multiple runs with the company. It wouldve been awesome, maybe him and Benoit, him and Angle, him and Mysterio, him and CM Punk for the belt wouldve been cool as hell.

@bradlee5874 2 жыл бұрын

Supposedly RVD was supposed to drop the WWE strap in a triple threat between him, Cena and Edge at SummerSlam 2006, but I'm not sure if he would have gained it back later on.

It’s kinda bullshit RVD got fucked for weed when there was crap going on that they definitely knew of with other superstars. It’s his fault for getting caught like that of course, but both titles was a bit much imo.

@davidhadley1391 Жыл бұрын

He got in trouble because he got arrested on a DUI because of it. It can be legal, yes, but it's still illegal to drive impaired. And it probably wouldn't have even been an issue either if the dashcam video hadn't got out.

The majority of the problem you’re having is having people still call it a “drug” and refer to it as “pot”. Lucky for you your job is dependant on those laws not being changed because there’s a shit ton more people using cannabis illicitly than are murdering, raping, assaulting, ya know all the shit people should get locked up for not smoking on the way home from a shitty 40-hour a week job.
