i don't think angle is too old, but he's definitely too injured.

i guess none of these wrestlers want to take on someone from the wec, tough.

ya i hear about pro wrestlers like wwe talking shit all the time, that soapapra shit got to their head, most of them r just really really strong, but they think that could take mma fighters just because they r so strong, but at least kurk angle was an oplompic gold medilist in wrestling, have u guys also heard the rumors of former wwe superstar brock lesnar starting mma, he did win the collage championship twice i think or somethink like that

i don't think angle is too old to be fighting, but he is too old to start a career. 38 isn't the best age to start training in striking and subs. his wrestling is impeccable, but to start learning all that stuff at his age is really hard. i'd love to see him and lesnar fight it out since they're both such great wrestlers and have probably the same experience in striking.

Brock Lesnar was an NCAA champion and apparently when he was in WWE himself n Kurt Angle had a little amatuer wrestling match in the ring prior to a show just for the boys in the back and Kurt came out on top. I think a non broken down Kurt Angle with about a year of MMA training i.e Stand up etc wud have stood a really good chance. He is a machine and wud remind me of Matt Hughes in that whatever he chooses to do he has to be the best but I reckon that ship has sailed and we'll never get to see it more's the pity.

At least Angle's got some grappling experience. He'd have a chance. I'd only watch if this guy got in the ring

I think Rick flair would do well he has really strong back hand slaps to the chest.

[WorldsMostDangerousMan]

i think angle would do well if he started MMA about 3-4 years ago. His has bad neck problems and he had surgerory a couple years ago

[air biscuit]

Multiple neck injuries would preclude Kurt Angle from ever stepping in an MMA ring, despite his age.

One WWE guy who could make the jump if he so desired would be Shelton Benjamin, I would think. The guy is in great shape, is a spectacular athlete, and an accomplished wrestler to boot.

Just got this quote from the WWE's latest "Ross Report" sent to me by a friend:

"Can you tell the Mixed Martial Arts influence Shane McMahon utilizes in the ring on occasion? That’s not by accident."

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha...LMAO!!!

Come on over to pride or the ufc and bring it...Shane-O-Mac....lol

Yep, now if he can master turning that hand slap into a hand slap followed by a nipple twist he'd be unstoppable!! Seriously though, you think professional wrestlers would be able to get licensed to begin with (the majority anyway)? Or that they'd risk their careers and salaries for a fight in the UFC? Find me a wrestler that might fight in the UFC and I'll probably be able to show you a juice monkey.

Very few of the pro wrestlers would even pass the 'roid tests, so they couldn't fight UFC.
