TSN today posted the One-on-One interview that Michael Landsberg did with Kurt Angle. It really was one of the better OTR interviews they have done, and it was better than the last one they had with Kurt.
While Kurt was on the set, TSN.ca/Wrestling did an interview with Kurt as well. Kurt went and talked more in-depth about his neck. Kurt basically says he can't feel his pinky figure right now. Angle also says wrestling a guy like Brock didn't help and his style in the 4 years he has been in the company as a top heel hasn't helped. However, he is happy that he did what he did. He says the fans really love Kurt, which is why he has the "You Suck" chants. He compares himself to Austin and says that the fans love Austin because he is the underdog that never accomplished a lot and hated his boss where in his life he had gone and actually did something with his life. In regards to his match with Guerrero at Mania XX, Kurt says it was really hard to have the match because he didn't want to hurt his neck more than it was, but it still was a 5 Star Match. He feels the finish of the match is what brought the fans back to the show after the Lesnar vs. Goldberg . He says the reason the fans hated the match because they felt betrayed that two of the top talents were leaving the company and Angle believes Austin should have said he was the third Man in the match, stun them both and cover them, as the fans would have enjoyed that more. However, the big news came when Kurt Angle CHALLENGED BRET HART for an upcoming WrestleMania Match, as that is his dream match. He says Bret is the very best ever and he has the most respect for him. Kurt wants to be considered among Bret as one of the best ever and the way to do that is to wrestle Bret. Kurt feels that would be the match that goes down as the best ever. Kurt says if Bret ever wants to come back for one match and can get his health and status back to a decent level, Kurt wants the match.
WWE Diva Dawn Marie also did an interview with TSN.ca/Wrestling as she was in the Green Room at the OTR set. They begin with her transition from ECW to WWE. Dawn says she loved her ECW Character but she likes her new WWE Character as well as she has been able to show a new side as a character, performer and as a wrestler. Dawn says she likes the in ring competition and never realized how hard it was until she got in there. She always respected it but now she says she respects it 1000 times more because it is extremely challenging. She says she is upset she didn't start in the ring from day one because she thinks she could have been better in ECW. She expects to be back on to TV soon now that she has been practicing in the ring and she would enjoy coming back on screen with Heyman but it doesn't matter to her who she works with because as a manager, her job is to show the strength of the talent. To make their weakness less noticeable. Dawn said that Paul's influence behind the scene is really helpful for the talent as you can go to him with any problem, such as a promo, and he will come up with something instantly. Dawn wasn't very happy at first about having to go over to Iraq to see the US Troops, and she felt guilty about it. However now she realizes what an amazing thing it was and how much good she did there, as it was the greatest experience of her life. She feels she is now a better person from going over to Iraq and being with the troops. Finally, Dawn talks about Lance Storm's retirement and she basically says she loves Lance Storm. It would take an hour worth of tape for her to talk about Storm. She says Lance is a wonderful person and friend, great work ethic and a good father and husband. She honestly believes that if she weren't paired up with Storm in ECW, she wouldn't be in WWE. Storm took Marie by the hand, never talked down and always gave her confidence and advice. She credits her entire career basically to Storm and everything he has done for her.
