He needs to find a medium where he can fulfill that same itch he got from wrestling. I think training others could do it for him, HHH gets it from NXT and the younger guys and you have others who fit well as agents. I think a special attraction type of wrestler like Brock would be best for him if he still really wants to wrestle a few years from now. Wrestle a few times a year, and spend the rest of the time training other guys where he can still be in there but not working full matches. Kurt wrestling 2 or 3 times a year would be fun, but like i've said before I think that time has gone and come. Maybe a Wrestlemania blow off for his career but that would be it. Edit: Oops double post, my bad |

Is it bad that whenever I think of Kurt's body slamming into the canvas in TNA I just see it as a waste of a bump? Like I have heard wrestlers say you have only so many bumps in you until you're done. And Kurt is wasting his body and bumps by taking some pretty hefty falls and gruelling matches in TNA to a small audience. Sure the first few years in TNA, fine, but now, its just wasting bumps that he could have one day had for one last WWE match. WWE seems very hesitant to even put him in one last match, reasoning that a dead or crippled Olympian on their watch would really f*** the company, and I can't really blame them. |

I expect Kurt to just shatter into pieces like a broken china plate one day What is he supposed to say when he's all torn up and you're okay? |

WWE already shut that down and called his bluff in their latest talks. He pushed hard for a part time deal and WWE knowing his shape told him no. When he kept pushing, they told him full time or nothing, knowing he'd fail the medical. Kurt is done and the only two that don't know it are Kurt and Dixie. |

I believe that ALL wrestlers deserve to have their work appreciated by a wider audience, but no bump should ever be thought of as "wasted" no matter how many people it's in front of. And I have no interest in "one last WWE match" for Kurt Angle. The way that WWE handles it's past stars with the "hey, remember when wrestling was good?" stuff and f*** everyone else mentality ruined that for me. I would rather see Kurt "waste bumps" in TNA if it means someone like Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler or anyone else in WWE struggling to earn the office and the fans' respect gets that much more of a chance at success.j |

Here's the very definition of "wasted bump":  Ideally, this should be a "Holy Shit!" moment, but look at the crowd reaction, almost apaphetic. When next to noone cares anymore, you're wasting your health doing crazy stuff, and I feel Angle is at that point in his career with his big bumps. |

Compare this to the bump he took against Benoit in the cage and the fact that he' still doing over 10 years later. Also it's sad the fact in the TNA advertisments, when they bring up Kurt, they show this moonsault and the 450 splash as his highlights. |

Well I mainly meant a special attraction in TNA or maybe Lucha Underground. Since his WWE run is over. I highly doubt they'll bring him back. |

Like i've been saying only way they bring him back is as a trainer, I don't think they trust him on the road as an agent. Or just for specials just like Scott Hall. |

I was never the biggest Kurt Angle fan but I always enjoyed his work. His presence in TNA is a big detractor for me now. Between him and Hardy its like watching the slowest faces of death video ever and it genuinely unsettles me to see them still wrestling the way they do.

He looks almost exactly like your Cesaro sig there, minus the Canadian bacon nipples, of course.

Someone needs to take a bunch of footage of Angle wrestling in TNA and set it to Sarah McLachlan like that video of Flair.
