Lighten Up!

Somebody was a little bitter last night.

Everyone knows by now that Kurt Angle was none too pleased to watch WrestleMania 27 and see Randy Orton Angle Slam CM Punk. He certainly wasn't too happy to see the Ankle Lock being used as well.

After posting a series of tweets (which you can follow him on Twitter at AngleFoods1), Randy Orton (which you can follow him on Twitter at RandyOrton) fired back, stating outright that Angle did not invent the Ankle Lock, as Ken Shamrock used it as his finisher before Kurt ever showed up in a professional wrestling ring. He also made a point that instead of being offended, Kurt should be flattered that people would do his moves as a show of respect to him.

I agree with Orton here. See, it would be a different story if Kurt was still in WWE, but he's not. I doubt Kurt is the guy who invented the Angle Slam, and I know for a fact Kurt was not the first in professional wrestling to use the ankle lock.

I like Kurt. Always have. He's a phenomenal talent. And, unfortunately at the moment he seems to have hit a road bump again in his life. But he really, really needs to lighten up.
