He scours the world with his crack team of experts (including Keith Lipinski and Sean Carless) searching out the best and worst examples of wrestling's past, present, and future.

Note from RD, Derek, and Sean Carless: "The following is a satire of TNA potentially "exploiting" Kurt Angle. It is meant as a parody of their ignoring certain concerns and not as an insult to Kurt himself. Viewer discretion is advised."

This week's spotlight: NEW KURT ANGLE MERCHANDISE!

With TNA's shocking signing of Your Olympic Hero Kurt Angle, a plethora of related merchandise was ordered to hit the shelves just in time for holiday shopping. This is your chance to get your Angle stuff while he's still under contract!

It's not easy to get out of a iron-clad contract signed in blood by super lawyer Jerry McDevitt, but former WWE grand slam champion Kurt Angle will show you how to get out of any bad deal in his new book Faking Addiction For Dummies. After his gold medal winning performance in Vince McMahon's office, Angle takes readers step by step through the years-long process of getting your coworkers and management to be completely convinced you are about to die any minute. Learn the "glossy eye" and "drooling lip" tricks along with dozens of other unique tips to make every person you come across to be scared for your life! Learn how to travel in style as people carry you from show to show! Even your own mother won't know if you are just acting erratic when she puts you on her dead pool.

Nothing is more scary to "the boys," or any alleged addict for that matter, than the shakes that come during the withdrawal process (or for that matter, watching SmackDown on Friday nights). That's why TNA is proud to unveil the official YOUR OLYMPIC HERO AMERICAN FLAG WITHDRAWL BLANKET. Show the world your patriotism while you battle your demons! 100% vomit proof and all American in spirit (actual blanket made in China) this is the one item you need when going cold turkey.

AS DISCUSSED ON THE HIT BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE RADIO SHOW! Just because you kick ass inside the ring, doesn't mean you can't enjoy a piece of ass pounding pleasure outside of it. With the Kurt Anal butt plug, you and significant other will finally rid yourself of every sexual inhibition and find out exactly what third input (or as Karen Angle calls it, “the real third I” really means. As the only official butt plug endorsed by an Olympic gold medalist (not including Greg Louganis) the Kurt Anal is shaped with smooth ribs for maximum pleasure!

Everyone knows Kurt Angle's Three I - Intelligence, Intensity, Integrity - but not many know the fourth I, Intensive Care. When you wrestle 110% each and every night, something is going to happen sooner or later and that is when you are going to need the official TNA neck brace.

If you don't have the resolve of an Olympic Hero and are popping pain pills like Skittles, you need something to hold them all in. After months of intense research, the TNA R&D department is proud to announce the official Kurt Angle Faux Gold Medal Pill Holder. With four separate compartments, this revolutionary item will allow you to separate your uppers from your downers and your Vicodin from your Percasets. Dishwasher safe, this new pill holder will make you the envy of all the addicts and seniors in your neighborhood. As seen on A&E's hit show Intervention!

A properly fitted mouthguard must be protective, comfortable, resilient, tear resistant, odorless, tasteless, not bulky, cause minimal interference to speaking and breathing, and have excellent retention, fit, and sufficient thickness in critical areas. But most of all, it must scare the absolute living shit out of your opponent.

Kurt Angle embodies insanity. The new Kurt Angle "Rehab is for Silver Medalists" T-Shirt represents that insanity. Be a part of the wrestling history, at least in the sense of the “time honored tradition of turning a blind eye” with this amazing shirt. Face on shirt is actual size!

The only official bobblehead made to exact scale!
