So Kurt's contract expires in 5 months
 

was thinking whom I would want to see back again in WWE and Angle came to mind. just looked it up and his contract expires in August.

do you think he'll be back sometime this year or next? do you care? I would love to see him work a program with a guy like Danielson. Swagger would be cool because of the similarities. Barrett/Angle would do great I think.

Anything I've ever heard is that he's happy in TNA, working in TNA is less physcially tasking and he gets to avoid being on he road as much, so he gets about the same money and gets to travel less and work less dates.

I'd be utterly shocked if he comes back to WWE

I'd absolutely love him to get one more run in the WWE, but I can't see him leaving TNA. As Lara said, he's way too comfortable with that sort of schedule, and on top of that I'm not entirely sure he'll automatically get his spot back if he returns to the WWE. Can't see Vince immediately sticking Angle in the main event after getting stabbed in the back by him and working for the competition.

I disagree only because I've heard that time and time again with wrestlers about having easier schedules, less travel etc etc, but when it comes down to it, you know a guy like Angle is going to get the bug and want to work for the top wrestling company in the world again. Just to prove hs still has it. That's the kind of person Kurt is.

What will probably happen is this:

There will be all sorts of "rumors" about him going back to the WWE, and the IWC will take it as fact, and then be pissed when he re-signs with TNA.


I do think that there is a good chance we'll see him in the WWE again. I just hope it is before he is an old man.

I'm sorry, but as I've said before, anytime Kurt Angle is mentioned:

...Tony Kornheiser comes to mind:

Of course he will be back, hell Hogan will be back eventually.

I would love to see him come back with a reduced schedule. He's done all he can for TNA at this point - until they get new writers and creative people that place is a dead spot in the ocean, and Kurt is just lucky to be strong enough to keep swimming in it.

If he came back to the WWE and they used him right, Kurt could be an awesome addition to the RAW or Smackdown rosters.

According to everything I've read he says he's going to retire with TNA.

yeah i would like to know what vince did to him for him to stay with a company founded by a guy who stole kurts wife.

If he came back i wonder if Vince would still have him in the HOF in future?

Most of which comes from Angle himself, the guy who while in WWE was delivering lines like "I'm never going to stop" and such.

Just saying, while most of the time first hand info is probably the best deal, with Angle it's hard to believe the words of a drug-addled liar who could be speaking "in KAYFABE."

To be honest Kurt Angle will resign with TNA for few years then hang his boots for good. He is WWE HOF material and one of the most successful wrestlers in USA atm but TNA is the place for him.

Jus' sayin'

When his contract is up Kurt is out and back to the WWE.

Why would he want to stay in that craphole TNA especially like others said where he has to work with Jeff Jaret who is his boss? When he can go to the WWE and enjoy WORLD WIDE FAME and main event wrestlemania again.

I man come on...plus he would make much more money in the WWE.

I am pretty sure that he stated it in an interview that he felt needed in TNA and he was happy to be a part of the company as it developed and progressed.

I couldn't agree more. They should have stuck with how they started and not endorse every god damn former WWE, WCW and ECW wrestler.

If sure with the state of TNA, and if the money is right [which it will be] then he will make the jump back. He could always get the Michaels/ Taker light schedule so.

I thought Kurt talked about this in a recent interview and said he wasn't going anywhere.

Thats also coming from a guy who is under TNA contract though. I doubt he would just come out and say hes going back to the E.

Angle has already stated that he wish's to retire in TNA, So No he won't be returning to WWE. I don't blame him. WWE ruined him in my eyes.

how did WWE ruin him?

WWE was the only place he ever was until TNA.

And TNA blows....

Believe he was talking about the making him work while he was injured and terrible abuse of steroids Angle picked up while there.

To everyone saying, "Why would he stay in a company when Jeff stole his wife and works there?", pretty sure if he had any type of probably with it he would not be doing an angle about it. Doubt Jeff "stole" anything, they were already separated (yes not divorced, separated) when Jeff and Karen hooked up. Angle was also going out with that one nasty looking black girl.

Angle would be a right up on HHH/Taker/HBK levels if he stayed with WWE. Hed be untouchable right now, huge. TNA ruined Kurt Angle. I forget hes still around most of the time honestly.

I believe he'll stay a couple more years, and then retire.

he'll be back within 10 years to go into the hall of fame

If he aint with anyone, maybe he wont mind roving the roads of the great big US of A.

I don't know if his body would handle it.

Of course, he could always have a "tv only" deal, where he only wrestles on RAW and PPV's.

This is nasty looking?

I wonder then how your girlfriend looks like if u have 1...

Yeah but its like every superstar with a substance abuse problem, Kurt included, the WWE never made their guys take pills, steroids.

And Kurt didn't have to work when he was injured, that was just the life.

Besides, the factors that led Kurt to leaving were that

a. he didn't want as many days on
b. he wanted the "HBK" deal when he did actually break his neck... he wanted to stay on as a personality possibly, but earn a pay check for the length of time he'd be out. Vince balked at it, for good reason. Kurt Angle is not HBK. Kurt thought he was valued the same as Shawn Michaels, and he is not. He's just a great talent.

cause wrestlers NEVER change thier minds. come on dude, unless you are like 13 years old and haven't been around wrestling long enough, then how can you believe that?

I think the less travel and relatively the same money keeps him in TNA. I got another question for you...

Why would WWE want him back?

No way. Angle is over enough that Vince won't care. Just like Hogan, and Hall/Nash, and countless others.

If Angle came back to WWE tomorrow, he might not be made champion or anything since they're going in a youth oriented direction, but he'd most certainly be involved in high profile things right away and always.
He's Angle.

Oh, WWE would definitely want him back, I'm sure.

Burned a lot of bridges when he left. I know it's wrestling, but it hasn't been that long.

Also he is kind of a physical and mental liabilty.
