During WWE's WrestleMania 27 PPV on Sunday night, TNA wrestler Kurt Angle expressed irritation with WWE wrestlers for what he considered move-stealing at WrestleMania.

Angle pointed a finger at Randy Orton, who executed the Angle Slam during his match against C.M. Punk, and Jack Swagger, who uses the Anklelock manuever. Orton then responded to Angle's Twitter posts overnight after Mania.

-- Angle posted on Twitter: "To WWE wrestlers, Don't use my Finish. Get more Creative. Hmmmm- Orton. Did I say that? I heard Orton had an Awesome match though. Ur welcome.

"I guess Swagger will use my Ankle Lock as well. Very creative. I'm the Best in the World. You Guys will never be Kurt Angle. Can I get an AMEN.

"Kurt Angle will never die. TNA. WWE. I'm a leader. Not follower. Why would WWE use my finishes? Is it because I won't go back? R Orton- Angle Slam. M Cole- Ankle Lock? They have some nerve.

"Jerry Lawlor did it too. But He is a Legend. WWE really stuck it to Me. No Love lost. I'm glad that I helped Your biggest Event of the Year."

-- Orton replied on Twitter (without naming Angle by name): "Everything's been done before as far as 'moves' go in the sports entertainment. I want to thank SCSA for the 'Thesz Press.' And I know for a fact that SCSA got the 'Thesz Press' from Dutch Mantell.

"Point being, instead of taking offense to someone using your move, consider it a sign of respect. Btw does anyone know what Ken Shamrocks finish was? I believe Jack Swagger used ankle lock outta respect for Ken?"
