Ok, I just watched GLOBAL iMPACT JAPAN courtesy of the $5.99 sale @ Best Buy. Angle beat Nagata but when did he drop the IWGP strap? and to whom? Thanks.

If Global Impact is really $6, someone needs to buy it for me because I don't have a Best Buy near me.

If he won gold at the olympics, in wrestling, he can acknowledge that as world title/s. i'm quite sure it's one gold medal - which would equal 1 world title, plus his 3 wwf/e titles, 1 wcw, 1 wwe world and 2 tna world, which amounts to 8 reigns. i'm missing where titles number 9- 12 have appeared from, but then this is Kurt Angle we're talking about. |

One Gold Medal
IWGP title
TNA World Title (2)
WCW World Title
World Title
WWF/E Title (4, albeit not a WORLD title)
That's 10.
So if he's legit, he might be counting the King of The Ring and the X Division title.
OR the Tag title reigns with Chris Beniot & Sting.
OR, he's just taking a shot at HHH.

While he was in college Angle also won a couple of amateur world championships (are held in years that there are no olympics) so that might be where the other 2 come from

Kurt Angle is not recognized as an IWGP Heavyweight Champion by New Japan. Can someone explain why that is? Lesnar was the champion, and was stripped of it. He couldn't defend it because of Visa issues. He refused to hand in the belt. Then dropped it to Angle. While they both had the physical title, it wasn't recognized and Angle eventually gave the belt back to them. I think. |

My thinking is that TNA & NJPW had an agreement to get the strap back so they should recognize it. |

August 30th - September 9th 2007. Remember, Angle won 'em from Joe then Sting won a match (beating Styles, Cage, and Joe) to become Kurt's partner. They would then drop 'em to "Team Pacman" setting up Angle vs. Sting at BFG. |
