Kurt Angle appeared on the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show today. Below are some highlights.
* Said that he will have his first shoot fight in May or June on a "TNA broadcast" and that it wouldn't be in association with PRIDE or UFC. He specifically named Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, and Daniel Puder as potential opponents.
* He ran down Daniel Puder as usual.
* He said that he has 3 or 4 fights in him and that his shoot fights would be under his rules which would include legal headbutts. He said that shoot fights would start a new "wrestling war" and that losing a fight would kill his career but would be worth the risk because the fights would do over a million PPV buys each.
* Said that his Olympic Slam on Samoa Joe on Impact this week wasn't scripted.
* Put over Vince Russo as a great writer and said they are getting along great. He even ignored Bubba's negative comments about Russo.
* Said that he almost got in a legit fight with Rob Van Dam once because RVD messed up a spot during one of their matches in WWE. He added that RVD didn't back down from him and thus earned his respect.
* Said that RVD once slapped Tazz backstage and that Tazz backed down.
* Said he was currently in California meeting with people in the TV and film industries. Said he will likely book an appearance on CBS's Ghost Whisperer.
