Are Kurt Angle, Christian, Rhino, etc. really better off in TNA?

Question

Did they really make the right move? Or just some more than others, or none of them at all?

Answer 1

I think Christian is better off in TNA because now they're actually pushing him in the main event. I like Christian because he doesn't rant about WWE as much as others do *cough* *cough* Rhino, Team 3D *cough* *cough*.

Kurt Angle seemed like he needed a change. He's already done everything in WWE anyway:
World Heavyweight Championship (1 time)
WWE Championship (4 times)
WWF Intercontinental Championship (1 time)
WWF European Championship (1 time)
WWF Hardcore Championship (1 time)
WWE Tag Team Championship (1 time) - with Chris Benoit
WCW World Heavyweight Championship (1 time)1
WCW United States Championship (1 time)1
King of the Ring (2000)
Tenth Triple Crown Champion
Fourth Grand Slam Champion
General Manager of SmackDown!

Rhino is about as midcard as it gets. I wouldn't shed a tear if it stayed that way forever. The only person that pushed Rhino is Paul Heyman and he's in WWE.

Team 3D and The Old Age Outlaws are about the two stalest tag teams ever. They should retire altogether unless they can't find jobs anywhere else. Then I understand.

Answer 2

they definately made the right move, expect more WWE wrestlers to make the move to TNA, because TNA has a lighter schedule, yet limited main even space. Sure they are probably being payed less money, but they are also only working maybe 5 days a month, rather than 5 days a week. They are the biggest names in TNA, where as if they were still in the WWE, they would still be jobbing to people who don't have any skill and never even payed their dues in the buisness, like Batista and John Cena, they made a great move and soon TNA will be better than the WWE, give it about 2 years.

Answer 3

Kurt Angle was fired from WWE. Christian let his contract run out than went to TNA. Rhino was firedfrom WWE.

Vince McMahon as dirty has he is and will do anything. He is the private partner of TNA. Yes, Carter and Jeff Jarret owns the company but he is still the private owner.

Answer 4

I would say yes. Christian was in the WWE for 7 years and was never a main event-er. Same for Rhino. Angle will be NWA champ at some point where as the WWE had moved him to mid-card status and pushed him over to ECW. Even RVD is entertaining the idea of TNA. WWE doesn't appreciate its truly talented athletes. You have to look like a jock from Muscle Beach to get a push nowadays.

Answer 5

Guess it depends on if they feel they made the right move or not. They all seem to be happy in TNA and none of them have complained about wanting to come back to WWE so they must all feel like they have

Answer 6

Well it suited them for afew reasons. Mainly money. Alot of the WWE politics dont go down well either with the big stars sometimes.

This little spat between TNA and WWE is alot like the early WWF WCW fight. We all know how that one ended

Answer 7

Yes, absolutely, they made a great move. Now they only have to work 3 days per month, and can accept independent bookings with other promotions if they want to, which could make up for any income shortcomings they may experience by making the switch.

Answer 8

yep, they have made the right move, for a start WWE use their talent better, and for seconds the WWE ain't gonna exist in ten years time at the rate it's going

Answer 9

To be quite frank with you, Vince owns TNA wrestling as well. My opinion, the wrestlers that you have mentioned should be in wwe/raw because of their talents and the way that they perform

Answer 10

No, they made wrestling interesting. They gave it a twist and some taste.
