Kurt Angle Reveals His Next Career Move Will Happen Within 2 Weeks

Kurt Angle’s contract with TNA is due to expire on September 21st with an extension looking unlikely. The Olympic gold medalist revealed previously he has already turned down the opportunity to extend his stay with TNA, instead actively lobbying for a return to WWE. To facilitate that, Angle recently called both Triple H and Vince McMahon to explore whether there was interest in re-hiring him.

 


 

In a recent interview with Ring Rust Radio, Angle shed a little more light on WWE, TNA and how he labels himself:

“What I would label myself? You know you always go back to where you started. I don’t think you can label Sting as a TNA guy. He’s a WCW guy and even Sting in WWE now will always be remembered as a WCW guy. So I can’t say I’m a TNA guy obviously. WWE is where I started and Vince McMahon made me who I am and gave me the opportunity but I’ve had a better career in TNA. Now a lot of WWE fans might not believe that or they may have never seen me wrestle in TNA but the matches I’ve had in TNA were actually better than the matches I had in WWE. That’s a hard thing to say, but the matches I’ve had with Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and the different matches with different wrestlers like Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Desmond Wolf, Mr. Anderson, and Bobby Roode. I would say I was probably more consistent in TNA although I was always known to have the best matches and be a very consistent wrestler in WWE. I think it’s because the older I got the more I improved, the more I mastered the craft, the more I was able to let myself do what I do and have more confidence. The reason the second part of my career was better than the first was because of that.”

In terms of his next move, Angle commented:

“Well right now I’m not at liberty to say where I’m going but I will tell you I’m going to do the right thing for me and my family. I am in the process of structuring a deal and I do have a company in mind. I haven’t said yes because I want to make it a public thing with the company and myself. I can’t really say who it is or where I’m going but I can tell you it’s going to happen in the next two weeks before my contract is even up. I won’t be wrestling until January but there will be a signing in the next couple of weeks.”

As of writing, consensus within WWE hasn’t changed – Angle is still considered a risk given his history of injuries and past drug-related problems (even though these are now in the past according to Angle).
