Kurt Angle recently appeared on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, and touched on a number of topics, including his TNA run, working with Sting, and The Kurt Angle Show.
It's no secret that the Olympic Gold Medallist is unhappy with how his in-ring career ended in WWE (a match with Baron Corbin at WrestleMania), but he's made it clear on numerous occasions that he has no plans to wrestle again. Despite that, fans are keen to see Angle compete in a company like All Elite Wrestling, and a big name has already attempted to recruit him.
"I’m in the best shape of my life, but I’m not going to wrestle. I’m done with that. Shaquille O’Neal just texted me today and said, ‘You need to come to AEW.’ I was like, ‘I’m not going to do that,'" Angle revealed. "Actually, if I did wrestle again, it would be most likely for WWE, but I’m not going to do that. AEW was always an option, I just never really considered it because I’m retired."
"I’ve heard the rumors. That’s what they are. They’re just rumors. People like to talk. They like to get excited about things, and, unfortunately, that’s not going to happen."
It is a shame that Angle won't even consider one final match to make up for that underwhelming battle with Corbin at the Show of Shows and that he seems pretty intent on sticking with WWE.
