Kurt Angle telling friends he wants to go to WWE

ProWrestling.net

TNA star Kurt Angle has been telling friends that he is seriously considering returning to WWE once his TNA contract expires next fall. Angle has even gone so far as to state that he would jump ship to WWE if he had to make the decision right now.

Angle joined TNA in the fall of 2006 and has been unhappy with the creative direction of the company for quite some time. He's been vocal regarding his frustration with Jeff Jarrett's creative direction both publicly and during private conversations with Dixie Carter.

WWE officials would welcome Angle back to the company despite the negative things he said about Vince McMahon and his WWE experience when he left two years ago.

WWE would put Kurt on a limited schedule similar to those of Shawn Michaels and Undertaker. The obvious concern is whether Angle would have any Wellness Policy issues given his past problems with prescription pills

Diva's watch out!

Makes me wonder. Sure, they'd want him back, but he didn't exactly leave the door open for himself. First, he leaves under really shady circumstances, then badmouths everyone in the joint.

Even if he came back, would he be accepted?

[greate]

Pretty vague, what direction is Angle talking about? I haven't noticed anything in particular, if anything the product has been more serious lately.

[Dragonfly]

I don't think it'll happen. Kurt just loves to talk big, but he never seems to back any of those statements up. He can tell his friends whatever. I'm not buying it.

[Joekishi]

Sweet, I hope his return coincides with a DVD release by WWE with a documentary plus matches.

Seriously I want Kurt back in WWE, I want him to be EXTREME Angle again, and I want him to be booked logically as the most bad ass, funniest dude in pro wrestling.

Seriously right now an Edge/Kurt feud would totally REEK of Awesomeness. hell bring rhyno back so we can have team RECK

I agree, Kurt's big mouth is only outmatched by his big talent.

I think I've heard him say something bad about the company once, whereas he's tooting their horn all the time. I'm not quite buying this. If he does go back, it better be on a limited schedule.

Kurt's always talking about making TNA the number one company, how it has such a great future, etc. It's hard to know what to believe when it comes to Angle, but I'd rather go with things that he has actually said rather than supposed comments referred to by some internet "journalist".

I would like to see Batista/Angle at Wrestlemania 26, since they never fought before

[Kash Flagg]

Just like how he was going into MMA.

I think Kurt doesn't think before talking sometimes.

He's been critical of TNA's penchant for lack of pyschology and overloading shows with too many silly gimmick matches. It was in that British tabloid interview a while back. He said something about thinking TNA should just build straight up programs and not rely as heaviliy on match gimmickery that doesn't draw any money anyway.

There's a poster of Angle putting Batista in an anklelock; I'm not sure what match that was, but they met before.

They fought in a tag match before Backlash or Vengeance sometime after Wrestlemania 21.

I dont know if Kurt is serious, but if he is, he kinda looks like a goon considering the crazy nonsense he said during many of his "I hate Vince/HHH/WWE interviews"

[rawthentic]

I think he will end up in WWE no matter what he said before.

He's basically run his course in TNA, he's had long rivalries with Joe, and A.J Styles with plenty of matches. He's about to end this fued with Jeff Jarrett at Genesis and i think after this whole MEM things dies out, you'll see that it's obvious he's on his way out...thats just a prediction. I think after Lockdown or so TNA will start writing him off TV.

I hear him and Jeff Jarrett don't get along in real life as well as on TV. He's had a lot of criticism of TNA, a lot of it warranted.

When he came to TNA Joe and A.J were on the rise and TNA looked like they had the stars of the future, that was one of the reasons Kurt went there to help furter put those guys over, since then which new people have they pushed? Kurt Angle came there to help build the company, and i think he's done all he can do for them. I think better and fresher stuff awaits him in WWE unless TNA can get new faces in the upper card that are over.

I currently can't stay interested in WWE, id immediatley become a WWE mark again if Kurt Angle returned and fueded with Edge, or even Christian as continuity for the beatdown that sent him out of TNA.

[Big Daddy Bad Booking]

I think its gonna happen. Kurt has put over WWE in very interview he's had since his departure, and that says you should never burn bridges. Add a lighter schedule and some good feuds, and Angle should be sold.

[Jay Peas 42]

Okay, can we get this? Everyone who joins TNA has to shoot on Vince and the WWE, just like everyone who joined WCW back in the day had to, and just like everyone who jumped to WWF had to on the WCW. The only time he has seemed to mind is the VKM business, when they went after DX, who are kind of his close friends.

Working the internet, much?
