The scope and variety of angles vary widely. An angle may be as small as a single match or a vendetta that lasts for years. In addition, an angle may be a part of a Feud , or a feud part of an angle. Angles may often lead from one to another. The term ''angle'' implies an insight into a wrestler's Gimmick ; however the term dates back from when wrestling was a touring Carnival Sideshow , so this is unlikely.

During a wrestler's career, he may take part in very many angles, which are often inconsistent, implausible and reused from one wrestler to the next (see Kayfabe ).


Examples of angles

  • The formerly based at the WWF , that sought to take over WCW .

  • TV Actor Mario Lopez tackling Val Venis after Venis supposedly hit on Lopez's date to an event. (this appears to be an example of a promotional gimmick. The announcers later mentioned Lopez's recent acting ventures).

  • Kane being forced to remove his mask as the result of a match (this is an example of an angle within a feud).

  • Stone Cold Steve Austin becoming the WWF Champion , to the disgust of owner Vince McMahon .

  • Cactus Jack getting Amnesia after losing a match, and becoming a vagrant who thought he was a ship's captain.

  • Booker T and Goldust forming an '' Odd Couple ''-style tag team and going on to win gold, discovering respect for themselves and each other in the process.

  • Lita leaving her storyline husband Kane for Edge (an example of a storyline being used to create a feud).
