The Sun in the UK has a new interview up with TNA World Champion Kurt Angle at this link. Here are some highlights from the interview:
On his problems with Triple H & Shawn Michaels:
"Triple H obviously wanted to bash me because I was a better wrestler than him and I deserved to be in the spot that he was in but he was never going to give up, he’s Vince’s son-in-law. I had to deal with that stuff all the time. I’d wrestle Shawn Michaels and I’d get a little rough with him, then I’d get heat from Vince McMahon because I beat up on Shawn too much. So I’m like: ‘Well you know what, I’m tired of the two long-haired sissies. If they can’t go up against me then don’t put them up against me."
On Vince McMahon:
"TNA is where I want to be and I’m happy where I am. Vince McMahon can kiss my ass."
What he thought of TNA when he first arrived:
"When I stepped in, what I saw were a bunch of good wrestlers flying around the ring. Nobody really cared about them. That’s the philosophy and psychology I’ve been trying to teach these wrestlers. We need to build character."
On TNA's Awesome Kong:
"She is without a doubt one of the most dominant female wrestlers I’ve ever seen. Awesome Kong knows how to wrestle. She’s big, strong and weighs 280lbs. She could probably whup my butt. I actually came up with an idea that I presented to Jeff Jarrett. I said: 'Why don’t you have me wrestle her? We could have a hell of a match.' He said: 'Kurt, we don’t want to push her that way.'"
