Kurt Angle Says He’s Open To Working A General Manager Role With WWE

Kurt Angle is set to become a WWE Hall of Famer soon, and it was recently announced that John Cena will be his inductor. There’s been a lot of speculation regarding where Angle’s WWE career will go after he’s inducted, but Kurt has said that he hasn’t discussed what’s next with Triple H or Vince McMahon.

One of the popular rumors going around at the moment claims that Kurt could be in line to take over the General Manager role on Raw, and he recently told the Wrestling News Hub that he’s open to that idea.

“For me, I had not taken a physical, but if I do I would imagine I would pass. The fact is, they just wanted me just for Hall of Fame, strictly, and they would talk to me afterward. That is all the word I have gotten. I’m okay with that. If the Hall of Fame is the last thing I do, then I’m cool with that. If they do decide to work with me and in more of an ambassador role or GM role or coach or manager role or even wrestling, I’m fine with that. If it was wrestling, I’d be willing to do that. I’ve always wanted to finish my career in WWE, and at the very least I have the Hall of Fame to look forward to. There is nothing confirmed for after the Hall of Fame. Yes, we can speculate, but that is all it is.”

Although Kurt Angle has said he’s ok with the idea of not wrestling again, he’s still holding out hope that WWE will allow him to return to the ring.

“The only thing I wanted to say is that I am really happy to be back in WWE. I do believe that we are going to come out with a long-term relationship eventually. If you never saw me or you never heard of me, go to the WWE Network and check out my matches. If you really think that I’m not really that good, you will find out that I am pretty good (laughs). I know there is a younger generation that might not know me as well, but thanks to the WWE Network they may already know me. For those that did get to see me back in WWE between 2000 and 2006, they have got to know how good Kurt Angle is. It they didn’t follow me in TNA then at least they saw that. I do have to say that I became a more seasoned wrestler in TNA. Unfortunately, fans of the WWEUniverse didn’t get to see that. I’ve still got it. However, if you do have a chance to go back and see me on the WWE Network, go back and check out the Kurt Angle matches between 2000 and 2006. Hopefully fans will get a chance to see that I can still wrestle, you never know.”
