Wrestle Day in America Podcast #1: Bill DeMott, Brock Lesnar on WWE Raw and More by Rob Wolkenbrod

The new television home of TNA Impact Wrestling apparently are huge fans of Kurt Angle being a top star in the company

While they take a lot of criticism, TNA Impact Wrestling has a lot of young talent on their roster who should be shining stars on their new television home, Destination America. However, it appears the network doesn’t really see it that way.

No, they want Kurt Angle to be the top star in the company.

According to a report from PW Insider, Destination America is urging management in TNA to push the Olympic gold medalist as the top star in the company going forward.

Destination America is reportedly pushing TNA to keep Kurt Angle in a prominent role on TV. The network likes the idea of a former Olympic gold medalist representing their wrestling program.

A television company dictating to TNA what to do? Gee, where have we heard that story before?

While you can see where they’re coming from, it’s also pretty obvious that this is a situation of people trying to run the business that don’t actually, well, know the business. While Angle has a lot of star power, yes, there’s no guarantee of how long he can perform at a top level.
