Think about it, He walks to the ring talking trash just like Austin, he has this cheap imitation of the BMF walk that Austin made famous, and his in ring pose where he stands on the ropes and raises both his arms is also Stone Colds pose. No wonder the Kurt Angle gimmick isn't working, its nothing but a cheap imitation of the Stone Cold character with a dash of Kurts old Olympic hero gimmick.(and this coming from a guy who likes Kurt ).

every wrestler has some imitation of another wrestler. Even Stone Cold bit off of the Sandman. But still, Stone Cold was just too damn popular to bite off and Kurt is acting just like him. And I know Austin wasn't the first to pose while standing on the turnbuckle ropes but, he was the first to use that "particular" pose and Angle is blatantly imiting it in TNA. In WWE he would not be allowed to use that pose because it too obvious that its Austins pose and the fans would catch on. I just think Kurt should be more creative, not to take anything away from his wrestling ablilty but i'm not impressed with his character development. I guess this is why WWE did not find any problems with releasing him after they tried all the could with the guy and he never got over like Austin or the rock.
