Kurt Angle comments become bulletin board material

Kurt Angle recent comments about how superior the TNA video game will be compared to WWE's "Smackdown vs. Raw" brand has inspired the THQ designers of the competing product. "You know we passed your article around our office," THQ's Mitchell Cameron told VideoGamer.com.

"We've got that printed out and hung up with paper-clips. Just because, Kurt Angle was... I mean he was talking trash! We put it on the wall and it's like, let's look at this, this is motivation for us! He's a competitor in the field, we're taking notice of what he's got to say and we're going to try to respond in our game. We threw that around!... "We welcome the competition. We're very curious to see the product, I'm dying to play it myself just to see how their game stacks up."

Powell's POV: Angle made it personal with the video game crew by saying: "I've been there. I know how much effort they put behind it. For each wrestler they usually take about two-and-a-half minutes and that's it." Reviews from people who were able to play the TNA game during WrestleMania weekend were very positive.
