Kurt Angle Reveals Retirement

[Dat Kid1]

- Kurt Angle revealed in an interview with F4WOnline.com Thursday that he plans to hang up the boots for good in three years.

"I've got two more years left at Impact Wrestling and then I'm going to have a retirement year and that's going to be it. I think I'll be done and once I retire, you're not going to see me back in a ring again, that's for sure," said the 44-year-old grappler. "I'm not going to be a guy that retires and keeps coming back. When I'm gone, I'm gone. Same thing as amateur wrestling; when I won the world championships in Olympics, I left and I never went back. Same for pro."

Good for his body, I suppose. Would be nice if this retirement year was in WWE.

IMO that's what he means by a "retirement year". I could be wrong, but it feels so right :dawg:

Yeah, since I'm supposing it won't be in TNA because he mentioned the TNA years before he said that, and I don't think he'd spend a year touring the indies, he just doesn't want to reveal that he's going to WWE but we know he is. :dawg:

I wish in this 2 more yrs he has a PPV matches and feuds with the likes of Magnus, Joey Ryan and Rockstar Spud, and possibly Doug Williams. I also hope he and Joe tag up a little to feud with Aries and Roode in 2013.

I wonder if he'll have a title reign just once more.

I'm pretty certain he will return to WWE (where he became a star) to finish out his career. All ex-WWE guys eventually come home, Angle will be no different. There's plenty of people in the WWE right now that he's never worked with that he could have good/great matches with - Punk, Bryan, Ziggler, Del Rio, Sheamus, etc.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

even though I'm a TNA mark Angle returning to WWE will be massive.

Hopefully no, he had plenty of them in TNA, plus the title scene is just too stacked now for Angle to be added into it.

Just a few more feuds with rising stars in the upper card scene would be cool.

I'm wondering with who should he have his last TNA match? A couple of options for me:

- AJ Styles (long ass history with him, great series of matches)
- Samoa Joe (same as Styles)
- Bobby Roode (BFG 2011 rematch)
- Magnus (Magnus "retires" him out of TNA)
- Wes Brisco (yeah, I know, but it is an option)

This will be bad. One of the greatest wrestlers ever retiring. I know he is old etc. but retirements make me sad. Why does guys like HBK, Angle, Edge retire but Hogan and Sting doesnt retire. Bad luck.

 

[Crayo]

Meh, longer than I'd hoped. But will be good to see him have his retirement year in WWE.

Smart guys in my book. Quitting the game while they can walk and live properly.

3 years? Jesus. I was expecting early 2014 max. He will be an amazing trainer/upper management for TNA when it all happens. Angle is amazing, and anyone who disagrees should look at how long he performs while his injuries are at their worst.

Future HOFer for sure

He needs to do an international Indy and Puro tour. NEEDS TO!
