The general feeling backstage in TNA among Jeff Jarrett, Dixie Cart and Kurt Angle, is that Angle needs to be the company’s front-man in gaining mainstream publicity.
If Movies, TV shows or even UFC come Kurt’s way the company are fully behind him, as they feel it will bring more fans to TNA. That is why Angle is filming a new reality TV series and also one of the reasons why he wants to do an MMA fight.
In recent media appearances Kurt Angle has stated that he has actually been offered TV and movie deals, although judging by some of the other outlandish things he has said, take it with a grain of salt at this point.
