    Yeah, in WWE he seemed to be more of a joke. Even in his rivalry with Brock, he had some goofy segments , even though their matches were still top notch. In TNA , he was the real deal, it was no nonsense when it came to what Kurt did in and out of the ring. I liked when he had that rugged, scruffy look during that time. It made him look like more of a badass.

    I would say his career in WWE was better when it comes to the matches, because Kurt made some of the big names in WWE tapped out, guys like Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan, HBK, Kane, Undertaker, Brock Lesnar the list goes on and on. While in TNA, he only had a great career there by being a multiple time world champion and he conquered every title in TNA.
