@kunalsummerKen Anderson recalls that he and Kurt Angle saw their match time reduced at TNA Lockdown 2010. Kurt Angle chose to go the full 23 minutes regardless. “So, we were told that we had a pretty significant chunk of time. Like 23 minutes or something like that, 24 minutes, which that’s a good solid match time. So we kind of had this all mapped out, and then on the day, Kurt comes up to me at the building and he goes, ‘They cut our f*cking match time. They’re shaving 10 minutes off our match time. I’m not happy about it.’ And then he walked away from me. He came back to me a little while later and he goes, ‘F*ck it, we’re going 23. Whatever. Don’t worry, I’ll take the heat for it.’ At some point [referee] Slick comes up to us probably eight or nine minutes in and is like, ‘Okay, time to take it home, baby.’ And we just kept going. We’re like a minute away from what’s supposed to be our finish. It’s funny because he was progressively getting more and more frantic like, ‘Guys, guys. They’re f*cking telling me to go home.’ We just kept wrestling and kept doing our sh*t. Then he’s like, ‘Guys, they’re screaming in my ear!’ And Kurt just goes, ‘Tell them to f*ck off!’, Nobody said a word to me when we got backstage.” (Tagging In with Chris Harris)
