WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has left an indelible mark on the wrestling world with his legendary career. He gained the trust and favor of none other than Vince McMahon himself, becoming a true icon in the business. However, he hasn’t stepped foot inside a WWE ring in many years. Now, Kurt Angle has disclosed whether he would ever come out of retirement.
The Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle, faced Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35 in 2019, marking his last completed match. Following that, Angle made sporadic appearances in cameo roles upon returning to WWE. His final appearance was during the RAW XXX episode in January of the subsequent year.
Kurt Angle Reveals How He Will Make In-Ring Return
While speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle was asked about making a return to the squared circle. Angle made it clear he doubted it would happen, but if it did happen, it would only happen under one condition.
Kurt Angle revealed that he will return to the squared circle if he competes in a tag team match so that he does not get exposed for his lack of in-ring prowess.
“I don’t think so. I had a knee replacement five months ago. I’m good. I think I’ve had a good enough career that I’m very proud of. If it does come to be, then it will probably be a tag match like Ric Flair did so that I don’t get exposed. I hate to say it, but I’m not exactly the same wrestler I used to be. But if I did decide to have a wrestling match, it would be against younger guys that could carry me. And I’d make sure that it was a tag match, so I was not exposed.”
We will have to wait and see whether Kurt Angle will ever make his return to the squared circle, as fans would love to see that happen one day.
Kurt Angle Regrets Doing Controversial Promos Because of Vince McMahon
Throughout his illustrious career, Kurt Angle achieved numerous accolades and held the prestigious title of multi-time World Champion. He faced legendary pro wrestlers like The Rock and The Undertaker, leaving an indelible mark on wrestling history.
However, as his WWE run neared its end before his departure for TNA in 2006, Angle found himself involved in storylines and segments that left a sour taste in his mouth. Despite his discomfort, Angle didn’t object and went along with the storylines.
During a Q&A session at Steel City Con, a fan confronted Kurt Angle about the controversial WWE promos. The WWE Hall of Famer openly admitted that he regrets blindly following Vince McMahon’s orders for those promos.
“Listen, I said a lot of stuff back then. This was the time when I was cutting a promo on Rey Mysterio [I like to play with boys promo]… I did this like three times, I messed up and said something perverted. So it became a meme and fans loved it… I said a lot of stuff back then I said I don’t like black people. I said some crazy stuff that Vince McMahon had me say and it just wouldn’t fly today. That was one of the promos that people took offense to and I enjoyed doing it. It was funny… Unfortunately, no. I said whatever Vince McMahon told me to and I probably should’ve said somethings I said, yes. I regret somethings, yeah.”
Only time will tell when the pro wrestling legend will be able to make his return to WWE television, as fans most certainly miss him by now.
