WWE and TNA Hall of Famer Kurt Angle commented recently on whether he would potentially return to the ring.
Angle was interviewed by Bill Apter for Sportskeeda Wrestling and was asked if he had one more match left in him. Angle told Apter that due to a double knee replacement if he did come back, it would be in a tag team match so he wouldn’t be exposed.
“I don’t think so. I had knee replacements five months ago. I’m good. I think I had a good enough career that I’m very proud of. If it does come to be, it’ll 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. If I did decide to have a wrestling match, it would be against younger guys that could carry me, and I would make sure it’d be a tag match so I wasn’t exposed. It’s hard to say this right now because I’m basically telling the fans, ‘Hey, I can’t really wrestle anymore, but watch me in my next match.’ But I’m just telling the truth. I’m an honest person. I’m just saying, I’m not like I used to be and never will be, but you know what, maybe down the road, I might do a tag match,” Angle said.
Kurt Angle is a former WWE and TNA World champion, holding each title numerous times. He is considered a legend and one of the greatest of all time by many wrestlers and fans.
