Kurt Angle Sees Things Clearly Now
Kurt Angle changes his mind about Vince McMahon and the WWE in a recent interview with filmsreview.com:
"I had some bad feelings because of the way I left WWE. When I thought about it, and my behavior, I then realized Vince McMahon really wasn’t at fault, it was really me. I have always extended my hand out to Vince, and told him that I was wrong, I am sorry."
Angle clarified that he is not sorry he joined TNA, but sorry that he ripped Vince McMahon so heavily after leaving the company. Angle says he's made amends with McMahon and they have a better relationship.
"I know that he is happy for me. I am living much healthier now. I love Vince. I always will. It was time for me to leave and I think Vince knew or he would have never released me," Angle said. "He had enough courage to take that initial step and release me. When he did, I respected him more."
Angle says he doesn't regret leaving for TNA, but he misses working for McMahon in WWE "sometimes."...More?
Bonnie Hammer’s Hit Factory - Inside the USA Network's Winning Streak
Bonnie Hammer, a 33-year veteran of the television industry, knows about pressure. Since she took over in 2004, USA has produced a string of hits.

Unlike the network's boss at the time, Hammer fashioned a warm working relationship with WWE owner Vince McMahon. She also approached the wrestling franchise like any other show, offering notes on how to improve plotlines and story arcs. Hammer even persuaded McMahon to hire soap-opera and comedy writers, and used cross-promotion by casting wrestlers in USA shows. She arbitrated some of WWE's less tasteful tendencies: for one live episode, in which one wrestler used a machete to attempt to castrate an opponent, Hammer stayed on the phone with the cameraman while watching from home, instructing him on precisely when to pull the camera away. WWE's ratings, already high, soared further, helping push USA toward the top of the cable rankings...More?

SmackDown Results: Anarchy in Bakersfield
Following Mysterio’s successful title defense over Jericho with his earth-shattering 619 & splash combination, Edge tried to launch a post-match assault. When the masked Superstar opted to let it be, exiting the ring rather than engaging The Rated-R Superstar, he was suddenly attacked out of nowhere by a reemerging Dolph Ziggler. The smiling Superstar then threw the fallen Intercontinental Champion to the dogs, allowing the Unified Tag Team Champions to hit both a spear & the Codebreaker. Ziggler then finished him off with a devastating neckbreaker of his own. Full results.
