Not to open the whole TNA vs WWE argument again, but isn't stealing from a smaller less watched organization kind of a time honoured wrestling
tradition?
I get the "stealing" being an issue in some cases as I remember the Rock burying Juventud Guerrero on the mic years ago for what he deamed to be
stealing when JG was calling himself "The Juice" or something like that (I think he was also copying his mannerisms or something too?), but never
having an issue with both him and Booker using the Rock Bottom/Bookend.
Its funny how some moves get treated with such respect though, as despite Sting still using the Scorpion death lock in WCW, Rock didn't touch
the sharpshooter until after Brett Hart called it a career over there. I know Husky Harris used the stunner in FCW in a recent video that made the
rounds, but I'm thinking it will be a long time before we see anyone bust that one out on the big stage. Maybe Angle just suffered from using
finishers that are a little more "generic"... I'll give his argument a bit more credibility if Orton busts out an F5 some time soon.

It's not.stealing from a lesser.organization since Kurt used it on WWE. Also, Orion ford it so badly its barely recognizable. And the announcers
don't even call it an Olympic slam or anything.
Also, Skip used the stunner as his finishes. Go back and watch him squash Bryan on Nxt. Sharkboy used it to but that was an homage.
Plenty of people, including Bubba Ray use the rock bottom.

Now Kurt is saying it wasn't hacked, but a family member went on after he went to bed and did all the tweeting.

Whats even funnier is that while Angle uses it as a finisher, old Randall uses it as a normal move.

Holy shit, really? What a fucking jackass.
Kurt, I still want to like you, but you're making it really difficult. Just apologize for it and move on. If you'd done that in the first
place, it would have already been forgotten. Now you look like the biggest cuntnugget in sports entertainment.

While that's kind of true, from what I've seen, he uses it as a direct setup for the RKO. If it was a video game, that'd be a
'signature move,' and not just another Orton move. It still has an air of importance.

I disagree. He mostly uses it as another move. I don't remember seeing it used to set up the RKO or punt. To really see how unimportant the move
is to him, just listen to the announcers who never act like its a big move, as opposed to the hangman ddt.
Basically, its not a signature move if it doesn't get a "VINTAGE!" (Or at least a reaction from the announcers that makes it seem like it can
end a match, the way the Irish backbreaker, chuck kick, hangman ddt and AA spinebuster are treated).
And let's be honest. TNA does this all the time. Storm used the Backstabber as a normal move and, since that's not really a big deal,
Jarrett constantly uses the Pedigree as a basic nothing move that doesn't even deserve a pitfall attempt.
And, of course, Punk will disagree with Angle here because Punk used the pedigree as his finishes in ROH and started using Kenta's finisher when
he hit the big leagues.

I always felt like the announcers never call it because outside of "the Olympic Slam" and "the Angle Slam," there's no name for it that
doesn't link it to Kurt. "Fireman's Carry Slam" doesn't really flow off the un-eloquent tongues of Cole, Booker, or Matthews.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way Mathews announces. Lord knows it is much better than the crap JR would spout. Of course with JR it
would be called either "that's his move" or the RKO, cause JR didn't have a clue what the hell was going on half the time. If you got
rid of Cole, I think Josh would surprise alot of people with how good of an announcer he would be. He has a genuine passion, and knowledge of the
buisness. I would not mind Mathews and/or Grisham as the permanent raw play by play guy.
I remember Lucky Lopez.

I mostly lumped in Matthews (Mathews?) to make my point. I like the guy; it DID bug me, however, when he joined Cole in ragging on the divas,
specifically Natalya Neidhart.

ETA: Back on to the point of the thread, we now have X-Pac vs. Cole. Or more likely, he's been suckered by an account pretending to be
Cole.

Mathews. I also like Mathews, and Grisham, and Striker. I think any combination of the three would be better than King/JR/Cole.
And looking at the WWEMichaelCole Twitter page, definitely looks like a fake.

I misread that and though Michael Cole responded by saying "You're doing a great job though," which would have been hilarious.

Just saw this over at Lords of Pain... CM Punk on Tough Enough--
He wrote the following about Miss USA Rima Fakih: So far this rima broad needs to take her padding and cover her weird face.
He wrote the following about Ariane Andrew, the first contestant to be eliminated: I know this Arianne as, "tampon girl". Maybe I'll tell
the story...
I'm not even sure I want to know the story behind that.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.
