Is Angles contract still set to expire?

[Juice]

Title says it all...Seem to remember a while back, reading that his contract was due around this time.

[Mayonnaise]

Sept. or Oct. I believe.Wouldn't be shocked if he signs a short term extension to help them find a new TV deal though.

[Hawk Hart]

I wouldn't think so considering he signs a three year extensions bi-yearly.

[jagilki]

IF this was any promotion except TNA, I'd say I was 100% sure he's signed up until the end of October at the least, as that's how far they are recorded up to. But because TNA, it could of ran out last week for all I know.

I have little doubt that if they can pay him decent money he'll stay(if TNA is still around) because there's no way that the E is going to put him in the ring.

He signs a new contract every other week. At this point he and Dixie are tired of announcing it.

[Instant Classic]

I hope so.

True just because you are booked in a major angle that does not work without you does not mean TNA will have you under contract.

[Andrew is Good]

I wouldn't be shocked, knowing TNA's track record, if they don't prepare at all for him leaving and it's just abruptly over.

Yeah, I don't think there is any chance in hell he could pass the wellness physical for in ring competition.

Agreed, but I wouldn't bet against him signing a legends deal, becoming an NXT trainer and get the HOF nod sooner than later

[lionheart21]

He really should just become an NXT trainer. He'd be able to help out the up-and-coming talent, plus he'd still be able to wrestle, albeit in a limited capacity.

[Ben Wyatt]

I know it's pretty unfair, but I really feel that his TNA stint, combined with his declining health (and unwillingness until recently to pay attention to it) has taken some of the luster off of Kurt's career.

Which is a damn shame considering how great he was from his debut in '99 to late '05

You say "TNA stint" like it's an afterthought.  He's been in TNA longer than he was ever in WWE.
At this point it would be his early "WWE stint" giving his career more luster wouldn't it?

Given his health, no way would WWE put him in the ring. Also there's the issue of Angle not slowing down.

As for being a trainer, the WWE would have to get him out of his mindset that matches don't need psychology or story telling or to build to spots, just a lot of finisher kick outs, and high spots.

it was up a couple of months ago but it was hacked and he suddenly has another year to go

I'll say only if TNA can't afford to pay him what he wants or if his body completely breaks. Kurt is going to go in ring until he physically can't go anymore.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

I don't want Angle back in WWE and I say that as someone who loved his first run. It would be a step backwards and I feel that as long as Angle is employed by WWE in any capacity they're always going to have the temptation to put him in the ring. Especially with them in "panic mode" right now after the stock taking that big hit.

[Main Eventer]

Last I heard his contract his up in either September or October, and he hasn't sign a new deal yet.

[Bram wants to 'urt you]

I read that negotiations with Kurt have reached a stalemate due to him insisting that he be allowed to do a moonsault off the top of the cage during the actual contract signing
