Kurt Angle Responds to Dana White, Claims He Never Made Original Statements

The Kurt Angle saga continues. Originally it started with an Angle interview with a UK publication, where he said that Dana White wanted him to fight Kimbo Slice on a UFC pay-per-view on less than five weeks notice. White was asked about it and said that was not true, and that Angle had actually been offered a slot on The Ultimate Fighter 10, but failed his medicals. Sounds a lot more plausible than a PPV fight on short notice for someone that's never competed in MMA, right? Well, Mr. Angle responded on twitter today, and he's being even more bizarre than usual:
@anglefoods1
Kurt Angle I wish the Some Media stop the untrue Press between Dana White and Myself.Yes, Dana and I Met twice. But We never discussed a Ppv with Kimbo
FavoriteRetweet
@anglefoods1
Kurt Angle What was talked about between Dana and I are Between Dana and I. I Love Dana and Will not Say things that Were untrue. Just drop It, please
FavoriteRetweet
So, let's get this straight. Angle tells an interviewer what Dana requested of him (and even says he passed his medicals). White says he's full of it. Angle then says he never said anything like that and he wouldn't talk about what he and Dana discussed. Hmm. Unless the interview is a fake, which it clearly doesn't appear to be...Kurt Angle appears to have truth issues.

Whoa, whoa wait up a minute.
We’re going to take the above statement and put it through the Corporate Speak-o-meter™
GuyverBob “Angle is usually full of shit when he talks”
Our results?
GuyverBob “Angle lack the ability to maintain credibility among the voices in his head”
Angle “Blarg, blarg, blarg Dana White.”

If he could
have gotten into training mma earlier in his life I wonder how good he could have been.

Why has Angle so few followers?
I always thought he was really famous during his wrestling heydays.

I don't think Angle is lying...
…as much as he is deluding himself. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that he has convinced himself this is what happened and this is now how he remembers it. And as Shutter Island proved, people get defensive about their delusions. .

Yes, that was not proven until Martin Scorcese made an overrated movie about it.

I actually think Shutter Island is underrated
It probably was too highly praised by critics, but the backlash against it over the internet has always stunned me. It isn’t a masterpiece by any imagination, but as a pulpy psychological thriller ala Spellbound and Shock Corridor, it works very well.
by Continental Op on Oct 3, 2011 9:37 PM EDT up reply actions
But that’s such a narrow category. It’s like saying Transformers works well if all you’re interested in is Megan Fox and explosions. Well yeah, it does, but that doesn’t save it from sucking.

Spell Bound, Shock Corridor...
The High Wall, Mirage, Blind Alley, The Ninth Configuration, Possessed, Black Angel, Nightmare, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari…I don’t think it is as narrow of category as you imagine, especially in noir. And to compare Shutter Island to Transformers is pretty disingenuous IMO.
I hate to pull out this old chestnut, but maybe the reason you didn’t like it isn’t so much that the movie is bad but that it isn’t the movie you wanted it to be?
by Continental Op on Oct 3, 2011 11:46 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, would you agree that a pulpy psychological thriller at its best is mostly cheap entertainment? Because that’s what I mean when I say it’s a “narrow” category – the limitations of that type of film restrict it from being very good.
But I’ll admit I might be totally off base here with my understanding of the genre. You’re obviously more educated on cinema than I am – in which case I’ll concede this point and revert back to my default argument, which is that Shutter Island was a pointless and tedious movie that said nothing and gave me no reason to care for any of the characters.
Actually I'm not going to agree...
And not because I want to be a combative with you, just because I see it differently. While pulpy psychological thrillers might supply some cheap thrills, they did attract the talents of such luminary artist as Scorsese, Hitchcock, Sam Fuller, Salvador Dali, Cornell Woolrich, Robert Siodmak, William Peter Blatty, Val Lewtton, etc, so I imagine it had some kind of draw beyond that. Especially since they could use it to explore issues that you normally couldn’t in main stream movies (like Fuller did with racism in Shock Corridor).
And I am not going to try to convince you to like the movie: if it didn’t work for you, it didn’t work for you (“You can only take out of a film what you bring in” as Goddard said) but I will say it worked for me. I didn’t see it as a movie about a big M. Night Shyamalan twist that he is insane (the fact that he is insane is pretty obvious; anyone who couldn’t figure that out by the first act should be embarrassed) but more about why is he insane. While most people certainly figured out he was crazy before the climax of the film, I doubt many people had figured out what drove him nuts and what he was avoiding, despite being supplied subtle clues through out the film.
I also saw it as a a movie that wasn’t so much about illusion vs. reality, as about the power of delusions, and how we delude and lie to ourself so we don’t need to face the truth. It is a film that examined people’s fascination with conspiracy theories and finding external excuses & enemies instead of looking into themselves to find out what is wrong. It was also a film that showed how we interpret something to fit our own narratives and preconceptions.
Like I said, I doubt I can change your opinion on the film but that is the reasons why it worked for me.

Ok, way too much time talking about this movie
Look man, I know it’s about guilt and self-delusion and all that shit. Here’s my basic problem with it (and it’s the same problem I have with a LOT of art): Scorcese added nothing to an old theme. How many “man driven insane by guilt” stories are out there? Scorcese retold a story that’s been told a million times, and he didn’t really do anything special with it or make his iteration of it worth watching. So in the end, yeah, it was as corny and tedious as an M. Night Shamaylan twist.
But then again, it did like $200mil in the box office, so I guess it worked for a lot of people.

He got popped for Nadrolone in 2007, was arrested with a load of growth hormome in his car in 09 and with his neck problems is probably on some high strength painkillers. If Kurt Angle lives to be 50 I will be surprised.

It would appear
Kurt Angle has realised he’s made himself look an idiot when he realised Dana White was obviously going to respond…and he’s now just going to go down the route of claiming the claims were fabricated and none of this actually happened?
…He is however failing in trying to not make himself look daft.

I actually believe his statement now. Freaking media is always up these athletes asses, stretching a statement to make more lies. No even cares really that Kurt did or did not join the UFC. Anything to get our attention!!! I don’t care for this. Talk about the pay per-view that’s coming Bloody Elbow !!!!
This also pretty much exposes GSP. It seems he turned down a fight with angle.

Too busy to do this right now
But someone should photoshop the Mexican Kurt Angle, “Jurt Anglico”, who clearly must be the guy who made the original statements.

I wonder if Chael is behind all of this
"What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease."
Angle is a professional wrestler, but the problem is that he was ‘working’ the wrong crowd. It’s one thing to be ‘working’ the professional wrestling crowd, but MMA fans are different than fans of professional wrestling. Now, he is getting called out on his lies.

I use to think so as well...
Until Chael Sonnen and Jon Jones became popular. Now it seems most MMA fans look for any reason to dislike someone so they can fill the heel role and have someone to root against like some 13 year-old wrasslin’ fan.

As far as Chael goes
It’s not hard to find a reason to dislike like a lying, cheating, thief but to each their own.
"What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease."
How does this apply to Kurt Angle though. He was caught in his lies, and he is notorious for ‘working’ the fans. I do agree though in that there are MMA fans that seem to just want to look for and ‘reach’ to find reasons not to like Jon Jones and claim that it is so obvious through interviews and whatnot that he’s a phony. However, I still feel that a good majority of MMA fans are a bit more savvy than professional wrestling fans.

weird thing is...
if he would have gone into MMA instead of wrestling then we would probably be talking about him being one of the best fighters of all time
He's lost his mind....and I'm reaping all the benefits
