Kurt Angle has been pretty open about the fact that he’s leaving TNA once his current contract expires. He’s currently working through his TNA farewell tour and he’s said that once it’s all wrapped up he plans to take some time off from wrestling.
But TNA obviously doesn’t want to lose Kurt Angle and why the hell would they? It’s Kurt Angle. He won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freakin neck! Anyway, PWInsider is reporting that TNA is trying to keep Angle around in a role where he wouldn’t be wrestling. The deal would see Kurt act as an ambassador for the TNA brand and he would be portrayed as a “living legend” who is always around. He would also be working with younger talents.
It was noted that Angle hasn’t taken the deal yet. Kurt’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the month and his farewell tour will end when he faces Bobby Lashley on January 31st in Birmingham.
