Kurt Angle is no doubt a Hall of Fame wrestler, not only just for WWE, but for TNA as well. He has done it all, from being a Olympian gold medalist to WWE and TNA world heavyweight champion. Not just once, but on several different occasions.
After many reports online and on social media, maybe it is time for the 45 you’re old to retire.
How many old wrestlers have you heard complain about how they stayed around too long? About how they should have retired sooner than they did. Well in this case I believe Kurt Angle is hanging around too long.
Now I will miss his matches, but you have to get to a point were enough is enough. He says winning An Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling in 1996 with a broken is an achievement and it is. But think about how that takes a toll on a human beings body.
Kurt Angle has serious done it all in the wrestling business. Five time WWE world champion, one time Intercontinental, European, hardcore and tag team champion, King of the king winner (2000) One time IWGP Heavyweight Champion and now let’s get to TNA. Five time Heavyweight, two time Tag Team, one time X Division champion. Throw in the fact that he won King of the Mountain twice (2007, 2009) and is a TNA hall of famer.
After giving his background history, you can understand that when I say he has done it all, he has truly done it all. Going back to the reports that Kurt Angle is not the same Kurt Angle that he was ten, or even 5 years ago. No doubt he brings a special quality to TNA. But if he would have gone back to WWE now, they would not allow him to compete in their company. This makes me a bit worried that he will compete on a level that his body is not able to allow him to be at anymore.
You can’t really blame TNA for allow Kurt Angle to compete on their flagship shows even if they do now that he is hurt. Not only does he bring a face, but he brings recognition to TNA and right now they are in desperate need of recognition.
Seeing photos of Kurt angle in a wheelchair from one place to the other is not only sad, but it could be a glimpse into his future if he continues to wrestle at a pace that his body is not willing to do anymore.
In closing I would just like to say please Kurt Angle walk away from in ring wrestling before it is too late.
