5 reasons Kurt Angle should NOT compete at Wrestlemania

#3 Ring Rust

Angle has seen better days

As we have discussed, it's clear for all to see that Angle, or those in charge backstage, are keen not for him to over-exude himself. Whether they are reserving him for a final hurrah at The Show of Shows or not is irrelevant. What also became clear at Survivor Series is that Angle's timing and technique had dipped significantly.

His Angle-Slams were lacking in the impact that used to make them a deadly manoeuvre. Not only this, but a partly-botched pedigree from Triple H at the end of the match looked to be near-fatal as Angle fell lop-sided with his head tucked down (as you can see above). These are the kinds of mistakes that can end careers, or stop comebacks dead in their tracks.
