On Swaggers very very best day he hopes he can come close to Angle's talent. Aside from being an olympic gold medalist he was a natural talent in pro wrestling. He way more than held his own against the best they had to offer and you could tell they stepped up there game whenever they wrestled Angle.

Swagger well never be the wrestler or talent Angle is...ever.

He may however be Gary Buseys lovechild.

the op is a fucking shit troll.

-angle is years and i mean years better than swagger on his worst day.
-angles mic skills owns swaggers lisp
-swagger copied angle's gimmick and uses angles ankle lock
-swagger gets no reaction ever, he's a failure in the wwe, a non threat of a talent
-angle is a legend, has had great matches at his age today even better than a younger talentless shithead named swagger

Seriously, every time I see Swagger apply the ankle lock I pray he drops to a knee. He looks so awkward standing upright..especially when applying it to someone smaller than him(Since Swaggers a big guy they are usually smaller). Dropping down to one knee wouldn't make it identical to Angles, if that's what he's trying to avoid. Just don't do the grapevine as well and its all good. Just drop a knee, damn it!

As for the thread...The argument should say, "Swagger is better than TNA Kurt Angle" because imo I havent been a big fan of his in ring work while there. Even that is debatable because Kurt has prolly still has better matches in TNA than total Swagger matches. In TNA I enjoyed the Main Event Mafia towards the beginning but once Sting left and Joe joined it lost its edge for me.It still surprises me that TNA can take my all time favorite wrestler and make it so I dont tune in weekly to see him wrestle. How did they accomplish that?

I remember going nuts seeing Kurt weekly on Smackdown in matches against Benoit, Mysterio, Eddie Edge and Lesnar. Remember Team Angle? Wow..those were the days. Anyone remember the number one contender fatal 4 way elimination match they had with Angle Edge Benoit and Eddie. Winner faced Big Show at Armageddon. Kurt won the match in a career defining performance for Edge imo. That's what Kurt does, even when he won, his opponents came out looking better for being able to hang with him.

I have a feeling most people haven't seen Kurt Angle's recent work. Not that I can totally blame anyone as TNA is downright unberable to watch at times. Swagger is better than Angle now but Swagger at his best isn't even on the same galaxy as the Kurt Angle from 2000-2008.

Wolfe vs. Angle @ Turning Point 2009 > Every single Jack Swagger match in the 'E.
I need to see that match. I loved Wolfe's work from what I had seen. I was bummed when I found out he likely wont be returning. Any other Angle matches in TNA that I should watch? I've seen his matches with Jarret and Styles (only Impact matches not PPV if they had 1) and I've seen the battles with Sting over the main event mafia.

Too bad Angle is a legend and Swagger is a goofy jobber who loses to people like Chris Masters. LMAO.

Kurt Angle can outwrestle Swagger in his sleep. If you were gonna use the "he's better than Kurt Angle" gimmick, you could've at least had the decency to use Daniel Bryan. Swagger also has the charisma of a doorknob.

Since when? Sure he is a great wrestler in theory, but he never really showed it in WWE that often. Most of his matches consisted of german suplex, get the ankle lock on and think of an innovative way to counter out of it with whoever you're working with followed by him no selling any previous injury and delivering the Angle Slam or another ankle lock.

He's horribly overrated and Danielson is as good as he has ever been.

No one, and I mean no one comes close to Kurt Angle in wrestling technique and in-ring ability. Especially Jack Swagger. Even Randy Orton is better in the ring than Swagger, this thread is an absolute fail.
