January 30, 201114 yr comment_5463577 It's kinda surrealistic to watch Angle in ECW 3 years before he debuted. The Taz confrontation is quite great too : "You maybe a great amateur.... but I'm a great professionnal". Taz could be so great at times.
October 16, 201311 yr comment_5567640 The tone of this was really well judged. Respectful of an Olympic champion and the sport of amateur wrestling whilst also putting over pro wrestling.
April 22, 201510 yr comment_5665625 Styles passive-aggressively takes shots at Olympic silver medalist Matt Ghaffari--who was in negotiations with WCW at this time--and future ECW Champion Mark Henry. That leads to the introduction of gold medalist Kurt Angle. Angle is a long way away from knowing anything about pro wrestling at this point. Little Guido gets his amateur credentials put over by Styles while he also puts over Angle. Taz is out next--he could have been an Olympian, but he'd rather make money.
