  • 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

    NJPW unified the belts so yes, Kurt Angle's (IGF) IWGP Heavyweight Championship win counts.

      Technically no, it wasn't acknowledged by the IWGP upon the reunification, it's only acknowledged by Inoki Genome Federation's IWGP Third Belt committee

    Hate to break it to whoever posted the video but Kurt never wrestled with Brock in NJPW. They wrestled for the IWGP Third Belt in IGF (Inoki Genome Federation).

    • @alanbonesjones3576
      @alanbonesjones3576 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      but they needed to do it to crown a IWGP Heavyweight Champion as Brock basically threatened new japan to leave with the title and not come back so they had to do the angle match to get the title off him and Angle ended up putting over a much younger before the king of strong style Nakamura as Brock didn’t want to lose the title and he was getting payed massive amounts of money per match

    • @alanbonesjones3576
      @alanbonesjones3576 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      so he asked them to get Kurt Angle hence the New Japan and TNA partnership at the time I’m not sure if this started it but it definitely helped

    • @alanbonesjones3576
      @alanbonesjones3576 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      from a explaining brocks title run video I rewatched to tell you exactly what happened but this deal with New Japan was 50 grand per appearance and he had a his title run defending it against Nakamura,Aki Bono,Giant Bernard and was scheduled to defend against Hiroshi Tanahashi but it never came to be as his visa had expired and he asked them to negotiate the visa and After the Bernard Defense leaving the airport Brock was by a group of new japan representatives to give them the title to get cleaned up and Brock said he would get it cleaned and this was happening as Brock was transitioning into mma

    • @alanbonesjones3576
      @alanbonesjones3576 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      so they had a deal in place that he would wrestle his final match in Japan before going all into mma and Brock got to pick Kurt to be the opponent to beat him and it was the main event for the inaugural igf event and was basically just to get the title off of Brock and TNA let Kurt do the match and thus Angle wrestled a few times in new Japan vs Yuji Nagata and Shinsuke Nakamura who challenged Kurt that night after he beat Tanahashi who won the vacant iwgp world title in a tournament when Brock left

      Angle put Nakamura over huge and it made him the ace of new japan and led to new japan is turnaround from inoki-ism and turning new japan to the top Japanese pro wrestling promotion in the world

    I always wished Brock came back in the red gear to WWE. But he just wore the MMA shorts and gloves. In the end it was fine. But I always thought it'd look cool seeing him in like a blood red version of his old pro wrestling gear. His MMA gear you could break out in a more big fight match or something. But he just kept wearing the MMA gear. I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but I felt like that would've been a cool visual.

      Lesnar and NJPW have bad blood. His matches are not even on their streaming platform. They don't use his footage for anything. I don't even think they show Brock in their parade of champions video before title matches anymore, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.

    B4 you guys linchpin brock for all this money talk he has a LOT of people who count on him for everything! He loves his family like I have never seen in my life ! and with that being said he NEEDS to make the money to keep everyone living right ! A bunch of medical bills for his family along with his own his wife kids etc. he has several mortgages that he pays that a lot of people aren’t aware of . Why he just doesn’t pay the houses of I don’t know . He has savings accounts for all his kids that he continually is putting money into and his parents farm he also funds and he is managing . to put it straight he is very important in a lot of peoples wellbeing . These guy’s are kind of painting him in a greedy light 😐 the man has every right to be how ever he wants... as long as HE DELIVERS who are we to judge him for actually treating wwe as a BUSINESS and not like some sort of girlfriend or something? He knows what he’s worth and the talent at wwe should take a few pages out brock’s BOOK 👍🏻 From what I’ve Hurd A LOT of the talent are SUPER PISSED that Brock is the ONLY ONE getting OVER on Vince !!!!!! Instead of the other way around 👍🏻 I even Hurd the awesome honky-tonk man and even our favorite guy CM PUNK ! where complaining about how much Vince is paying and letting leznar have multiple endorsements ! like promoting OTHER brands while on live TV ! like if he was endorsing auto -zone he won age a AUTO-ZONE patch on his trademark black wrestling shorts ... CM punk had a identical situation Opportunity but Vince shot it DOWN ! Then only to have leznar the next Mach come out with is other sponsors all over his shorts ! So I could completely see why punk had a HUGE problem I with that ... I get it . so ya brock’s not as big and dumb as we all thought 💭............... is he . ✌🏻
