LOL... finally got to you... Trauma would be proudAngle, if you put him and any era, his going to be on top of many peoples list. If his in the 70's, his up there with Race and Brisco. His the ultimate wrestler, someone that can make it real, someone that can entertain, and someone that flat out wrestle. His one of the all time greats, and if you put him in any era, his still doing what he has to do to be the best. You see, in greatness, it's not messured by an era, it's messured by a man's heart. Jordan did what he had to do because he hated losing. Everyone else would want to beat Jordan, and they would try, even get the better of him for a time, but Jordan would go into I will not lose form, and just dominate. Nas beat Jay-Z, even though after Takeover, most every other rapper would take a lose. Nas had that heart to take him game a notch, and beat Jay-Z. Angle is that guy. He can be busted, broken neck, and still put on the show of a life time. The same way Austin did it, only Angle has a better wrestling style than Austin. You put Angle in any era, his right at home, because his ready to make it real, make it entertaining, and give 100% everytime. Like Flair coming back from a plane wreck, only Angle doesn't over act. Angle is the real deal, he wants to be the best ever, and his doing whatever it takes to do it. And don't give me entertainment arguments in eras, what was Gorgous George?
No matter what people say, I can never view Angle as a GOAT...I remember when he first came to the WWF with his Gold Medalist asshole persona...His matches were so boring, the crowd would start booing in boredom mid-way through...He was hated not because he was a heel, but because he wasn't a WWF style wrestler...Slowly, he adapted to that WWF style, but he will never capture the audience like an Undertaker, a Shawn Michaels, a Hogan...It's not even about how good of a wresltler he is, overall, he just doesn't have it...PeACe

There was a time where fans couldnt control themselves during a Angle match, when he would defend his title people would root for him to lose so hard it was absurd, he was hated because he was such a powerful heel. And in the ring Angle is close to the level of a Benoit, or Jericho or Bret Hart. He is one of the best ever

He is one of the best everI'm talking about when he FIRST was introduced, I believe at one point WWF even had him billed as a "boring/technical" wrestler as part of his original persona... people just hated his style all together...Not saying he's not a great wrestler, I stopped watching shortly after he was introduced, but from what I remember, he wasn't even close to controlling a crowd in the same breath as an Undertaker or a Hulk Hogan...PeACe
