So i was watching Smackdown last night and said to my friend they shouldn't have revealed that Kurt was injured, they should've just shaved Charle's head and passed him off as Kurt, and said that CHarlie was the one that got injured.
So it got me thinking, they actually COULD do that. Except bring in Eric Angle and shave his head, and try and pass him off as Kurt. Now I don't mean have the WWE try and make the fans believe he is Kurt because we're smarter than that (I hope.) But I mean make it an angle that Team Angle is trying to pass Eric off as Kurt. It could be sort of like the Owen/Blue Blazer gimmick where it's obvious to everyone but they are trying to hid it anyway.
I love the Ridiculous Suspension of Disbelief angles (see Flying Ability, Hurricane)
I even dug it when Kane was able to shoot fireballs.
But Team Angle trying to pass off Eric as Kurt would be great, but even better if they had Christian duped the entire time. Imagine the looks Jericho would give him.
I would like to congatulate Al Snow on his contact with La-Z-Boy. Because we all know Al doesn't sell chairs. - Mick Foley
I second the suggestion for bringing in Eric Angle. Give him that headgear/wig contraption that Angle wore right after his head got shaved, and have him claim that his Olympic Folicles had suddenly sprang into action or something.
While I agree with the Eric Angle suggestion, I disagree with the "suspention of disbelief" idea. Yes, it works for people like The Hurricane and Kane, but it isn't the same when replacing wrestlers. See Ramon, Razor and Diesel. It would be better if Eric acted like he was Kurt while everyone was obviously in on the joke, trying to get him to admit who he really was.
There is a precidence in the WWE for dubbed voices! "Kurt Angle v2" could be every....eeeeevil!
[EDIT!]
Damn, this just popped into my head! Obviously the pay off to this whole bit would be Kurt revealed doing Eric's voice, Wizard of Oz style! "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

It doesn't matter, if he sucks at wrestling or on the mic (I don't really know since i've only seen him those few shows he was on) we will expect him to suck, because we know he isn't really Kurt. Only Christian will be fooled like ThreepMe suggested.
No, Christians's on Raw. I think Albert should be the guy, with Big Show taking him for an idiot. I know Albert doesn't have a lot of charisma, but I think even he can pull that off.
"You know, Kurt's been looking a lot different lately. I hope he isn't sick."
NOTE: The above post makes no sense. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Hmmm...I forgot Christian was on the other show. That also means Kurt (Eric) can't have a confrontation with the Hurricane in which Hurricane mentions something about secret identities. Stupid roster split.

But there's always the PPV's! It may even work better that way. Picture Christian running into Eric at Backlash.
"Hey, Kurt...you look a lot different since No Way Out. Did you get a haircut?"
Forget Brock! TRINITY is the Next Big Thing! Congrats to both Kid Kash and TRINITY~! on signing long-term deals with TNA!

And let's also recall that when Jericho came into WWE, he reportedly got heat backstage for being too stiff, and wound up having to retrain with X-Pac to develop a more "WWE style.
