Talk:Kurt Angle/Archive 1

message: I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was up on WWE.com...I will revert.
I thought you weren't supposed to post info unless it has aired in the US? I'm going to go ahead and delete the spoilers but if I'm mistaken go ahead and revert. Eenu 05:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The real height of Kurt Angle is always being changed. According to Olympic stats, his real height is 1m80 or 180 cm, or 5 ft 11in. This can be seen in the beginning of the Olympic 220 lb freestyle wrestling final that Kurt won. The height in the beginning of the video appears and is 1m80 (5 ft 11 in).
:Unless you can provide a source - there is no way of verifying this - then the Washington Post figure seems most reliable. McPhail 17:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You really need to see this thread http://www.celebheights.com/s/Kurt-Angle-2758.html on www.celebheights.com for a good discussion on the subject, as far as i can gather he very well may have been a legit 5'11"+ (and he rounds up to 6'0" this is the height he tells his fans) at his peak however after operations to his back/neck he has lost a little height and now stands at about 5'10", the 6'2" listing is ofcourse complete rubbish.
Also as of late he has been noteably loseing muscle...so I severely doubt he is 237 anymore more like 225 or 220, but i dont have any data in front of me to back it up so i'm not going to change it, just thought it would be something to bring up, anyone else notice this?
Yeah, I have noticed it. And I think he will lose stil more now the steroid ban is on.(Halbared 10:53, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It says in Trivia section that Kurt Angle exaggerates that he won the medal with a broken neck and the Olympic rules state that he would not be able to participate with a broken neck. Well actually I picked up Kurt's autobiography, "It's True, It's True" and says that he WENT THROUGH a broken neck, not WINNING IT with a broken neck. He healed just in time for the Olympics. He still feel the effects of the surgery and so he uses painkillers. And painkillers shouldn't affect your performance in amateur wrestling.
:He won the Olympics with a neck that was still healing, but not a broken neck per se. However, in WWE, Angle normally claims to have won the Olympics "with a broken frickin' neck". His character was supposed to have had a broken neck during his final Olympic bout. McPhail 16:15, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Kurt back at 2000 claimed that Tazz's Tazzmission was an illegal choke hold, but wasn't it that Kurt claimed that it was an illegal choke hold because he was just embarased by losing to Tazz thus losing his undefeated streak, because if Tazz's Tazzmission is illegal then he should have been disqualified in every WWF match he had been on since his debut, so in turn, Tazz should be the first professional wrestler to defeat Kurt, not The Rock.
:The official WWF line was that Angle's streak continued until he was pinned by The Rock. McPhail 20:11, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

:As noted in his autobiography, Angle was/is a member of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which is an association with strong ties to the evangelical/born-again Christian movement. - Chadbryant 20:51, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I did some cleanup on the "History of the "You Suck!" Chant" section, but am unsure as to whether it was enough of a cleanup to merit removal of the cleanup tag. Could a couple of you please look over the new version of the section? Poofyspikes 07:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Why cant i state that many consider him the best?
Because it's a POV. We need a "neutral" article. Although many do consider him the best it's still considered a bias on this site. i guess you could state that but only if you have valid examples such as his impressive WM21 match, the fact he's an Olympic gold medalist, and his knack for drawing heat wherever he goes. user:slapslapslap
NOW you could put up some consider him the best since USA Wrestling named him the greatest shoot wrestler of all time. [[Slapslapslap 03:39, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Hasn't Kurt Angle 4 shows like Benoit?
He went from SD! to Raw and then back to SD! and is now in ECW. However when Benoit returns if he joins ECW then he will hold the record at 5.
Oh and we DEFINETLY NEED A TRIVIA SECTION!

thread_title:  Jumping Brands same as  Benoit 

message: There is a picture in the article which says that it is of Angle and Benoit attacking the ROnck during their 2002-03 tag team run, but I find that the caption and picture do not match:
* Angle has hair, and by the time Angle and Benoit were tagging (and even by the time Benoit returned to WWE in 2002) Angle was already bald.
* Also, The Rock was not wrestling with WWE during Angle and Benoit's run as a tag.
Please, whomever put the picture up or knows where this picture should be in the article, correct it. --Andresg770 18:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Why should we use the USS Enterprise picture when:
*You can only see his left side.
*He only takes up the right half of the photo.
*It's hard to see him from the crowd.
*You can't see him clearly when resized.
I suggest we use the old Image:Kurtpromo.jpg pic. --Aaru Bui 10:34, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The photo is free use. Fair use images are only fair use when there is no free alternative. If the quality of the photo bothers you that much, then try to procure a free use alterative from someone who has photographed Angle and is willing to release the photo into the public domain.

message: Surley what the image represents and not the resolution of the inage or that the image Is from the WWE should matter. It should be that the Image represents what the article Is on about and not the source or that the image happens to be high resolution.--Lucy-marie 17:38, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The image is owned by WWE. Wikipedia:Fair use policy states, "The use of a small number of low-resolution promotional WWE images to illustrate articles about the subjects of the images in question, in the absence of a free alternative...is believed to fall under the fair use clause of United States copyright law". The image in question is high resolution (800 x 618). Moreover, the image has no source information and is scheduled to be deleted. There are free alternatives on the page, and there is already an image owned by WWE. Therefore, adding this image breaches Wikipedia policy on the use of copyrighted material.
