Kurt Angle has been wearing down Bobby Roode by throwing every match imaginable at him - but when he tries to pair his best friend James Storm against the World Champion hopeful, Angle gets more than he bargained for. Watch IMPACT WRESTLING every Thursday night at 9/8c on SpikeTV

[@spinemelter2000]

I like James Storm's personality. He acts funny and doesn't take things seriously, then all of a sudden gets angry and violent.

[@destinywaugh2396]

Yeah, kind of like Mr anderson.

[@TheWill1225]

Kurt's facial expressions when Storm shows up is epic. Kurt's facial expression when before Storm swerves Kurt was epic. Kurt's facial expressions when Storm cuts his promo on him is epic This whole segment was epic

[@WrestleWrapUp]

I remember being so pumped for TNA around this time!

[@comediansdeath5107]

Wrestle Wrap Up me too loool

[@destinywaugh2396]

Even though TNA was kind of new to me around that time I really started liking it. There was just something about it that made me excited. I like going back and watching old segments and matches.

[@destinywaugh2396]

😍😍😍😍😍😀😀😀

[@proa__]

Me too!

[@dallaspeep]

james storm is heavily underrated on the mic and in the ring

[@philipg6579]

5:03 the chants will never leave Kurt even outside wwe

[@syriemoo2]

"Why dont you get on your knees and stroke this beer bottle boy"

[@dantesprophet9612]

I was there when those girls started chanting "you sold out" at storm. They looked rather upset that he made them look like idiots in less than 40 seconds.

[@dusthue]

Dantes Prophet I guess they should have waited a little longer -like they make us wait😁

[@peterreed9817]

I know there’s reasons behind it, but every time I see this Kurt Angle I always think they switched him out and let someone else take his name. It’s made even more bizzare by the fact he went straight back to looking like old Kurt Angle when he went back to WWE. This was a strange strange look

[@themerciless3434]

I know it's kurt angle but at the same time, I keep questioning myself is this actually Kurt angle, he looks like completely different man.

[@__-wm9lu]

Doing lots of percs and no steroids

[@xxxllloorpoopypants3687]

@@__-wm9lu *Vicodin thank ya very much

[@kingleonidas4087]

James Storm is golden on the mic ...TNA was so fn awesome back then

[@christrance777]

Dream tag match: Storm and Austin v Roode and Triple H. With all in their prime it would blow your brains!

[@syriemoo2]

LMFAO "you got all the stroke goin round here well i got an idea why dont you get down on your knees and stroke my beer bottle right here boy" lmfao!!!!!!

[@owaisinus]

I loved the part where Storm was a heel for a moment (Angle enjoying behind his back) and suddenly he turns toward Kurt and says "I am here to get into with you" (Roode smiling behind his back)... wow good acting by Storm...

[@OddEyes1]

"Hope you're a better matchmaker than you are beer drinker" really made me laugh when Storm said that to Angle. I don't think anything can get worst than Angle's beer drinking for sure!

[@destinywaugh2396]

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻 that's for James storm lol.

[@BrittMonkey]

I've been a wrestling fan for almost 25 years. I've seen all the great promo men, from Hogan to Austin, Flair to Rock, and I have to say that 3:50 might be one of the greatest and funniest lines I've ever heard on the mic. I crack up every single time. Go Cowboy!

[@damason724]

So basically almost 32 years? Or have you died yet?

[@myrongaines5542]

dam kurt looks like a different person without the juice

[@sayemahmed688]

What do mean without the juice

[@jinkazama496]

Sayem Ahmed steroids

[@neo-americanrevolution332]

Hes high as hell. At this point he was doing alot of drugs n u can see it all over him

[@StormxRaiden]

@@neo-americanrevolution332 he had them demons and taking alot of pain 💊

[@jayeonnahart8892]

Lol James is so hilarious

[@canUsaythis]

Storm was spot on in this promo Its time for the TNA Originals to take there spot that they deserve Please forgive the spelling

[@MurderMiss1011]

that is one of the best segments i have ever seen xD

[@cadeguydon6043]

Saw this when it was on TV

[@shamarbennett4333]

I remember this classic tna moment one if my favorite tna and wwe wrestler of all time kurt angle classic tna moment and James storm when him ans Robert rhoode went there separate ways and became the longest reigning tna world heavyweight champion of all time and my boy kurt angle was the tna world heavyweight champion during year 2011 ans year 2012.

[@TroyNaumu808]

Bobby Roode is tna's triple h. James Storm is tna's HBK.

[@bagkid5645]

come on now they aren't that bad

[@hirovideofx]

Angle looks good in that body build

[@KelseyDonaldson-qp2ss]

5:42 Storm is like Steve Austin straight up beer drinker

[@loonieDMighty]

Nicely said Storm, nicely said.

[@samanthawalch8164]

I really loved TNA back then. It was awesome. It was real wrestling.

[@jakeryan9572]

And, was one of the hottest territories when it first started working with NWA and, also Panda Express and with Ultimate Fighter they had a lot of great promotions and networks they had worked with that got a lot of their ratings up at times for sure.

[@KelseyDonaldson-mm9vg]

5:41 Storm drinks beer just like Steve Austin

[@wc02]

Kurt Angle looks different without being on the juice. He's way slimmer.

[@xROUG3xG4M3Rx]

+SUPERIOR MMA SPECIALIST I believe it was for a movie role. he said it in an interview.

[@georgebaynard4096]

Well the truth is angle was not going through the best physically he wasn’t building enough body mass to support his frame so that’s why he looks like that

[@danieljackson8265]

It was his opiate pill addiction. Hes an addict. He was using heavy during this time.

[@thebriankendrick3212]

Kurt Angle looks so small and young

[@chegotti7718]

MMA Zone Young?😂😂

[@05sxt4]

Kurt Angle looks so much different between 2011 to 2015, he looks like a machine here, he really got out of shape. Sad to see, but brings back good memories.

[@RKO1988]

It's called getting older...and he still has a six pack what do you look like?

[@tidefanman1]

Kurt looks sick here. Glad he's doing better today

[@Crushbra]

He lost lots of weight too. Glas he's better now

[@luisalexander70]

james storm has great mic skills

[@VaBatman]

Kurt looks sick during this period of his career

[@jakeryan9572]

Yep, he had some issues with painkillers to the point that, he would have multiple DUIs and was in and out of rehab many times during that time.

[@gloriam.bordenoak6282]

Get-R-Done

[@jonathontaylor938]

I'm a huge fan of the cowboy James storm he's awesome he's the best ass kicker in wrestling.

[@RankielGuitar]

the only time in like 5 years storm has been booed ;p

[@KelseyDonaldson-mi9sr]

Storm has the vibe of Shawn Michaels

[@hubertgreen]

Kurt has cut a lot of weight! Have he been sick?

[@KelseyDonaldson60]

Honestly Storm would've been a instant main eventer if he'd debuted in WWE

[@denkikaminari6278]

... I'm still convinced that the 'Kurt' here was just a stunt double. Plsss, it's so different.

[@jakeryan9572]

Nope, it was him and you can thank the painkillers and the drinking he was doing during that time for that because he was messed up very badly like how Jeff Hardy was at the time as well.

[@JeffreyMarksWorld]

Kurt Angle looks so sickly here

[@legenddestroyer1758]

Beer money reminds me of DX

[@destinywaugh2396]

James storm, one of my all-time favorites. Hashtag Hall of Fame hashtag sorry about your damn luck

[@lancelotftl]

[@ilySpanky]

He was training for the Olympics. He wanted another gold medal under his belt. He didnt compete in the Olympics because of an injury.

[@danieljackson8265]

He was addicted to opiates during this time. He even admitted it

[@juanstfu9021]

Angle > Beer Money

[@worldsbestentertainer5159]

[@fother.mucker]

Same thing can be said to the girls that chanted You Sold Out on James Storm. 😅😅😅

Beer money is not gonna split up yet after storm and roode become 5 time tna world tag champs and drop the belts to ink ink then beer money may split up or may stay together I kno fortune will still consist of aj kaz storm n roode

[@Its_Only_genjutsu]

i think hes skinny because of drugs. if you look at his eyes notice how dialated his pupils are in this segment. im pretty sure he was abusing drugs at this point in his career, ive heard rumors of drug abuse from angle but i didnt believe it until i saw him like this but maybe im wrong

[@adammoore2312]
