Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

The '''Angle Alliance''' was a [[heel (wrestling)|heel wrestling]] stable headed by [[Kurt Angle]] (and briefly [[Christian (wrestler)|Christian Cage]] on a self-proclaimed basis) in [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA). For [[Lockdown (2008)|Lockdown 2008]], in the absence of Kurt from the stable's activities, [[Travis Tomko|Tomko]] captained a subdivision under the name "Team Tomko".

==History (2007-2008)==
===Initial formation===
The formation took place at [[Genesis (2007)|Genesis]] when [[A.J. Styles and Tomko]] assisted Angle in helping him keep the [[TNA World Heavyweight Championship]]. Styles wanted to have the Angle Alliance and [[Christian's Coalition]] join forces; however, Cage denied Angle's request of being his "lackey", thus Styles and Tomko were dropped from the Coalition. After Angle offered membership to both [[Robert Roode]] and Christian, Roode quickly accepted while Cage stalled with insults towards all the members. He eventually followed suit under the condition that he became the leader, which the group apparently agreed to before Angle and Roode [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Turn|turned]] on and attacked him the same night, with Styles trying to hold them back and Tomko walking out on the scene. The next week Angle and Roode attacked Cage after the match again with Styles this time not helping his former captain. Roode was then simply phased out of the Alliance and concentrated on his own separate feud with [[Booker Huffman|Booker T]]. In the weeks following, Styles had to decide to be in either the Angle Alliance or Christian's Coalition. Two weeks before [[Final Resolution (January 2008)|Final Resolution]] on an episode of ''[[TNA iMPACT!]]'', Tomko left both groups stating that he wants to be his own man.

===Turning on Christian===
At Final Resolution, [[A.J. Styles]] finally decided to join the Angle Alliance, when he helped Angle retain his [[TNA World Heavyweight Championship]] against Christian, turning on his former captain for good after being seduced by [[Karen Jarrett|Karen]]'s charms and Kurt's power. On the following ''Impact!'', A.J. was rechristened as "(the) Prince (of Phenomenal)" A.J. Styles, with fellow Alliance members Kurt, Karen, and [[Jeremy Borash]]. After Christian came out running down A.J. and Karen, both he and [[Samoa Joe]], who came out next, claimed to deserve title shots. Before Joe and Christian could go down to the ring, [[Jim Cornette]] interrupted and announced a 3-way #1 contender's match between Christian, Joe, and A.J. (where if A.J. won, he could have an option to have a match with Kurt Angle and get Angle two months off from defending the world title until the April [[Lockdown (2008)|Lockdown]] PPV). Christian, however, won and earned the title match at February's [[Against All Odds (2008)|Against All Odds]]. Angle then went on to attempt to get Tomko back in the Alliance, insulting Tomko's wife in the process. Tomko went on to brutally beat up Angle throughout the Impact Zone, then to defeat him in a one-on-one match with Styles as the referee and with assistance from Cage. At Against All Odds, Tomko cemented his place in the Alliance by costing Christian his last title opportunity.

===Tensions with Karen Angle===
On the following edition of ''Impact!'', Tomko confirmed his membership in the stable, although he made it clear that he would do what he wanted and he was looking out for his own best interest not Angle's. Later, [[Samoa Joe]] and [[Kevin Nash]] interrupted Kurt and Karen's renewal of the vows, resulting in Kurt being stripped and chased off and Styles being in the ring with Karen instead when the dazed and confused priest "pronounced" the couple, temporarily making Styles her (kayfabe) second husband.

After losing to Christian, Joe, and Nash at [[Destination X (2008)|Destination X]], Tomko was told to captain a four-man team against a team headed by Cage for the [[Lethal Lockdown match]] at the upcoming [[Lockdown (2008)|Lockdown]] pay-per-view event. Tomko's team was quickly established as A.J. and [[Dudley Boyz#Team 3D|Team 3D]]. Eventually [[James Storm]] was added to Team Tomko by TNA management assistant [[Matt Morgan (wrestler)|Matt Morgan]], who revealed his true stripes as the fifth member of Team Cage at the end of the same night. During this time, Kurt Angle appeared to show support to Team Tomko, making Team 3D and Storm associates of the Angle Alliance; however, whenever Styles tried to help Karen and Kurt settle their marital issues, the latter refused, citing his title defense against Samoa Joe as a higher priority.

===Split===
At Lockdown, Kurt Angle was met by his wife Karen, who he promptly proceeded to throw out of the building so as to avoid any distractions. In the double main events, Angle lost his [[TNA World Heavyweight Championship]] to Samoa Joe, and Team Tomko was defeated by Team Cage with neither A.J. or Tomko involved in the decision.

After Lockdown, Styles and Tomko lost the [[TNA World Tag Team Championship]] to [[Eric Young (wrestler)|Eric Young]] and [[Frankie Kazarian|Kaz]] in a controversy involving Young and his "Super Eric" alter-ego, under which he pinned Styles, not recognizing each other as one and the same. This resulted in the championships being vacated. Tomko was not seen having any communication with Kurt Angle, and as he was away in Japan (figurative [[kayfabe]]; he was actually suspended for going there earlier in the midst of the Lockdown storyline and no-showing TNA's pre-Lockdown Fanfest), Styles tried to bring Karen to the Impact Zone, but Kurt had them thrown out as soon as he caught wind of it.

Meanwhile, the associates from the instantly dissolved Team Tomko would actually expand, as Storm would align himself with former Alliance member Robert Roode, forming what eventually became [[Beer Money, Inc.]], though when Styles needed a partner after Tomko was injured in a shoot fight in Japan (extended [[kayfabe]] for the suspension), both Storm and Roode refused. Styles would align with the [[Face (professional wrestling)|fan favorite]] [[Eric Young (wrestler)|Super Eric]] instead. After Tomko returned from Japan and questioned Styles once again, A.J. had enough of the constant grilling and quit the Angle Alliance.

Accusing Styles of stealing Karen away whilst having no proof, Kurt Angle and Tomko then aligned with Team 3D as part of a loose collective of "bad guys" which at times had also included mostly every single important heel on the TNA roster at the time, most frequently [[Booker Huffman|Booker T]], [[Johnny Devine]], [[The Beautiful People (professional wrestling)|The Beautiful People]] ([[Angelina Love]] and [[Velvet Sky]]) and [[mixed martial arts|mixed martial artist]] [[Frank Trigg]]. Tomko later left TNA and came back for one last appearance, while Kurt eventually moved on to form a pact with several wrestling legends within TNA, creating the stable known as [[the Main Event Mafia]].

The Angle Alliance had a one night reunion on the December 17, 2009 edition of ''Impact!'' in what was supposed to be a 10 man tag team match with [[Bobby Lashley]] and [[Abyss (wrestler)|Abyss]] but ended up turning into essentially a 3-on-2 handicap match against the [[The British Invasion (professional wrestling)|British Invasion]] after Lashley and Abyss took off with their then-rivals [[Scott Steiner]], [[Stevie Richards|Dr. Stevie]] and [[Raven (wrestler)|Raven]]. Tomko, Angle, and Styles ended up winning the match after Styles pinned [[Nick Aldis|Brutus Magnus]] with a small package, only for Styles and Angle to be attacked afterward by [[Christopher Daniels]] and [[Desmond Wolfe]] while Tomko was exiting the arena.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.24wrestling.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1260378302&archive=&start_from=&ucat=5& |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2009-12-21 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091213170829/http://www.24wrestling.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1260378302&archive=&start_from=&ucat=5& |archivedate=2009-12-13 ))</ref>
