Only for a HoF induction.
I love the guy, but he's not healthy enough for me to want to see him do anything else.

No thanks. Finisher, kickout, finisher, kickout, finisher, kickout. Don't want to see him try to kill himself by moonsaulting off something else either. Honestly haven't enjoyed a match of his since believe it or not the Anderson feud. That's because he hasn't had anyone decent to feud with. When you give Angle equal talent, as he's proven in the past, build up wise, match wise, he can burn the house down.

It'd sure be nice to hear "YOU SUCK!" again... Also, honestly if in the middle of a Lana Promo, Angle's Music hit, I'd mark like a girl Me too

Had matches against all the big names including Jeff Hardy. Sorry I know you like the dude but his matches the past few years are just finishers with kickouts. You asked if anyone wants to see him back. Some said yes some said no. I don't want to see the guy feel obligated to put on some great match the shape he's in. No reason he couldn't come back in the role he's playing in TNA right now. I could say I'd enjoy that. In the ring, no.

If he comes back, it's gonna be as a trainer. No way he'd pass a WWE physical.

If a WWE return was an option for Angle ( which I'm sure it is, you know "never say never"), he'd go into it 110%. As it was stated earlier, he's been off the road for a while and not doing matches with his injury. He's got time to let his body heal. I read an interview with him last week where he stated that he's been clean for 11 months now off pills and alcohol. Now I know most of you won't believe what he says ,but I will as I have no means of knowing for sure so I'll just take him at his word. So with nearly 6 months off the road and being out of the ring, plus by October it'll be over a year sober, I can totally see WWE giving him another chance. Kurt wouldn't be stupid enough not to be in the best cleanest shape possible knowing this would be one and only chance at a final run. Give him a year contract, let him have a retirement match at Mania then transition him into agent/producer and save him for a HOF induction. Smart money to me if Angle and his body is up to it.

No, he's far too broken down and I doubt if he could pass wellness. Supposedly WWE showed no interest whatsoever the last time Angle's TNA contract was up.
I think it would be cool if Kurt became an NXT trainer or something though.
And supposedly Vince is very afraid of having an Olympic Gold Medalist die while on WWE's roster.

Edge didn't have a history of drug dependency issues, questionable mental health, and didn't push his body beyond it's limits literally every time he got in the ring. Angle simply doesn't know how to slow down, and as his body's ability to put on classic matches fails him he ramps up the stupid spots. If ever an American wrestler was in danger of doing a Misawa, it's Angle.

I personally would love to see him back in the WWE. No. Maybe as a trainer, but even then he's lost most of the skills that made him great originally, namely mic skills and putting together a match that isn't an insane series of highspots.

No. WWE's constant nostalgia hard-on at the expense of the current roster for the past three years has ruined the idea of an Angle return for me. So many careers have been stagnated due to wWE's never ending focus on past stars. It's not fair that talented people have had their careers squandered because WWE is stuck in the past.

Honestly haven't enjoyed a match of his since believe it or not the Anderson feud. That's a huge problem. Would the WWE be able to get him out of the philosophy that every match has to have numerous finisher kickouts, high spots, and psychology/story telling doesn't matter. Kicking out of finishers left and right take away the impact, and doing constant moonsaults off the cage take away from the specialness of it. Angle's matches really don't build to anything, there's no psychology or story telling. Let's take a look at Miz vs Dolph from tonight. That match told a story and had psychology with Miz not wanting to get hit in the face. Miz ran out of the ring, or immediately covered up, and Dolph used that to his advantage at the end. The match built to a moment, and delivered. And more importantly the fans were going nuts for the match. Hell look at Cena vs Bray from Mania. There were a couple big spots, but the match was mainly psychology and story telling, and they had the crowd in the palms of their hands. Even The Shield vs Evolution at Payback which was filled with big spots, told a great story. Evolution was trying everything to beat The Shield, but if The Shield were going down they would take Evolution with them, and they'd protect one another no matter the cost. No matter what Evolution did, they couldn't take out a member of The Shield. The Shield was superior in every way, and the ending so every member of The Shield play a factor in the eliminations. Would the WWE be able to get Angle into the philosophy that psychology and story telling matter, even if he could pass a physical? And could they trust him to follow through?

I'd jump through the roof if Angle's music hit during a Lana/Rusev promo.

Even hardcore matches can have psychology. I was watching the Foley/Taker Cell match and I realised that match has more psychology than we give it credit for. Foley gets out the tacks and nearly punches Taker into them, then Taker fights back and they go through a series of counters for a while until you forget the tacks are even there, and it means when Taker moves over to drop Foley into them there's this moment of realisation. That's storytelling, rather than HERE'S SOME TACKS. BUMP IN THE TACKS/REVERSE ME SO I BUMP IN THE TACKS.

I have zero interest in seeing Kurt continue to try and cripple himself, if he hasn't already.

I wonder if he'd make for a good trainer. Not everyone who was a good wrestler necessarily does.
He has enough personality to do a good job hyping things up, and I'd love to see him come for a Legends deal and HOF down the line, sort of like Sting seems to be doing, but I don't want him to wrestle, and if he does, on a VERY limited basis. I'm talking Undertaker limited.
