Maybe We'll Have Kurt Angle Back Again 😎

I am a huge fan of Kurt Angle. One of the few legends who have dominated wrestling, leaving an indelible mark, he has won an Olympic gold medal, turning into a 6-time WWE Champion. Much as I would want him to get back into the ring, I perfect understand why he moved on from that part of his career. His body has taken a lot of punishment, and it is quite obvious he has made the right decision in stepping back.

Recently, Kurt said he'd be open to returning to WWE as a manager, and man, that hit a note. It's not just about seeing another legend return because this is gonna feel very different with Kurt Angle, and that's a fact. He's not any former wrestler; he's one of the smartest minds in the business. Now, imagine what he could do with a pupil such as Chad Gable. Already impressive between the ropes, with Angle as manager, it could take Gable to another stratosphere altogether.

What makes it interesting, Kurt had an opportunity to manage Matt Riddle and passed on it. I get it, if he's gonna come back, it's gotta feel right, and clearly that was an opportunity that didn't align with his vision. Angle's old-school mentality would really fit in with someone like Gable, who not only shares a similar wrestling background but his work ethic as well. It's cool to see Kurt lead Gable's "American Made" faction. It brings a level of legitimacy and star power that the faction needs to succeed, which is something WWE has struggled with in the past.

Of course, that remains to be seen, but God, I hope so. It's so rare that legends like Kurt come back in a managerial role without hankering for the spotlight. He's made it known that he's willing to take a bump or two but isn't looking to attempt to steal the show. An admirable attitude proving he is more set on passing the torch rather than reliving former glories. If WWE and Kurt Angle can come to some sort of agreement, it would arguably be one of the best decisions the company has made in long time. Here's hoping it becomes a reality.
