In an interview with the UK Sun, Kurt Angle says he will never be back in WWE and plans to stay with TNA until he retires. Here are some highlights of what Angle said about: His Future In Pro Wrestling: “My contract comes up in August/September. I’m going to re-evaluate. But I am NOT going anywhere else. I will stay in TNA, I just need to see how much I’m going to be wresting for them, whether part time or whatever amount of time, but I’m very happy in TNA. A lot of my fans have been asking ‘When are you going back to WWE?’ but I will retire here.” He added, “I’m very excited about the product, the company keeps growing and I like to think I’ve been a small part of it. I’m going to stick around and hopefully I’ll do something part time when my contract is up. I think Dixie Carter and myself need to sit down and work it out. I’m not against even working every PPV. I just know that I can’t continuously go on the road and wrestle hundreds of days a year. I’m not able to any more. Not if I’m to be able to perform the way they want me to.” The Rock Back In WWE: “I think it’s great. I honestly believe that Rock misses wrestling. He loves the fans. He comes back partially to promote his movies, but the other part is his passion for the fans. He loves being out there and doing things live.” “He actually performs better when he is out in front of a crowd live. That’s The Rock. I heard he cut a promo on Cena and I texted him saying I heard about it, and heard it was great. He’s always been the best promo guy I’ve ever known.” source: http://www.sescoops.com/wrestling-news/wwe/kurt-angle-says-hell-never-return-to-wwe-talks-rock-cena/
Pretty disappointing to hear. I don't understand why he would want to even be in TNA after having such a long and successful career in the WWE, let alone retire in TNA.
I'm sure travel is a big part of it, since 80% of their shows happen locally, so there's not a whole of travel for them. I'm sure the other thing is WWE management. They seem to make a lot of mistakes with their roster and misuse a lot of good talent, so I can't blame him for not wanting to go back.
Oh, he's also right about The Rock. I can't think of any guy I'd rather watch cut a promo. He's one wrestler that's just as entertaining wrestling as he is on the mic, and not a lot of guys can say that.
Yea i'm also pretty certain that the main issues are WWE management and traveling issues since this has also been stated by wrestlers like Jeff Hardy and RVD to be a issue with them which is why they decided to sign with TNA also.
