Kurt Angle needs to pass physical tests first, lol. Roids and alcohol lulz

He actually tweeted yesterday that he has been clean and sober for one year. If Batista, who looked like he hadn't been in a gym for years, can pass one, Kurt will too.

One last WWE run would be awesome especially if we could see Jack Swagger And Angle in one match.

That's awesome. But still, I'd be a bit worried about it. Time will tell I guess.

This is WWE. in 2014. You really think they are going to do something cool with a returning legend's gimmick?

They will just be like OMG ITS KURT ANGLE! and he will have a super generic personality.
If The Rock's personality was generic, Kurt Angle's will be.

Rocky is in movies so he couldn't veer too far off of vanilla. Kurt is all in with wrestling to he has a bit for freedom to do whatever the fuck he wants.

Very good basic answer. For every Lesnar return, there is a vanilla Edge return.
For every HBK return, there is a vanilla Bret Hart return.
Batista was vanilla and Mike Tyson was vanilla.

Kurt Angle doesn't strike me as particularly smart or clever. He's a ring technician who gets his main point across well.
Some may say Angle is the poster boy for vanilla, but he found a way to make vanilla work.

God I hope TNA gives him the sendoff he deserves, and then re-hires BI at least, or goes for some of the recently dropped WWE talent. I am an Angle fan and D'z is right, WWE will ruin him for his final run, but this will open a lot of money up for TNA. Let's wait and see if they keep it in their pocket, or spend it on some people who will draw.

I'd mark my dick off for AJ Styles, Drew Mac, and BI.

The best part about angle until perhaps the last year of his wwe run is the fact that he never took himself seriously. That's what made vanilla work. We've all seen since then how much debauchery he can get himself into, which made me appreciate his clueless American hero gimmick even more.

You hit the nail on the head. (Pun intended)
Kurt Angle can continue to be vicious when the bell rings, but be very much American Pie outside of it.
Being vanilla has nothing to do with your wrestling style, it has everything with how your character carries himself otherwise.
Daniel Bryan is extremely vanilla, yet he's extremely over despite it. Bryan likes to wrestle and Angle loves to win. Big difference

I'd personally enjoy 'the wrestling machine' gimmick Angle had. That dude was a beast.
