Is Kurt Angle Entering the 2012 Olympics for Publicity?

Kurt Angle is considered one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. Kurt Angle is also considered one of the best amateur wrestlers of all time. The résumé of Angle is incredibly impressive as both a professional and an amateur. Kurt Angle is a 14-time World Champion in various professional wrestling organizations, and he won a Gold medal in the 1996 summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

Kurt Angle recently revealed that he is currently training for the 2012 Olympics. Some people have questioned whether a 43-year-old man has the strength, speed, and endurance needed to compete in the Olympics. Critics have said Kurt Angle is promoting his Olympic training as a form of publicity to help market the TNA wrestling organization. This would seem to make sense, considering TNA wrestling uses a marketing plan based on “Impact Wrestling” that is real.

What are your thoughts on this subject? Do you believe Kurt Angle is really going to compete in the Olympics? Do you believe Kurt will perform at a competitive level? Or do you believe Kurt Angle is doing this to help promote TNA Impact Wrestling on Spike TV?
