In
an interview with the UK Sun, Kurt Angle says he will never be back in
WWE and plans to stay with TNA until he retires. Here are some
highlights of what Angle said about:
His Future In Pro
Wrestling: "My contract comes up in August/September. I'm going to
re-evaluate. But I am NOT going anywhere else. I will stay in TNA, I
just need to see how much I'm going to be wresting for them, whether
part time or whatever amount of time, but I'm very happy in TNA. A lot
of my fans have been asking 'When are you going back to WWE?' but I will
retire here."
He added, "I'm very excited about the product,
the company keeps growing and I like to think I've been a small part of
it. I'm going to stick around and hopefully I'll do something part time
when my contract is up. I think Dixie Carter and myself need to sit down
and work it out. I'm not against even working every PPV. I just know
that I can't continuously go on the road and wrestle hundreds of days a
year. I'm not able to any more. Not if I'm to be able to perform the way
they want me to."
The Rock Back In WWE: "I think it's great. I
honestly believe that Rock misses wrestling. He loves the fans. He
comes back partially to promote his movies, but the other part is his
passion for the fans. He loves being out there and doing things live."
"He actually performs better when he is out in front of a crowd live.
That's The Rock. I heard he cut a promo on Cena and I texted him saying I
heard about it, and heard it was great. He's always been the best promo
guy I've ever known."
On Working With Jeff Jarrett: "From a
professional standpoint I think Jeff is one of the better wrestlers in
TNA. But I'm not going to lie, we've had our personal differences. At
one point I asked for a release here. Basically the choice was it would
be me or Jeff, but they pulled Jeff off the air for a while and kept me
on. As time went on and everybody's wounds healed, I was fine with Jeff
coming back and my life seemed to be better. I found a woman I truly
love and want to spend the rest of my life with. Jeff also found a woman
— you know who it is — so it actually worked out for the better in the
long run. I have mixed feelings. For me I don't have any pride as a
character. I might give a little bit too much of myself to make the
other wrestler look better. I wasn't worried it damaging my character as
a wrestler. A lot of fans are upset and against what is going on — but
they are watching. As much as I respect Jeff as a wrestler, as a person
it's kind of hard to get close to him. When something like that happens,
you start to question them. Do you trust them? That was the hardest
part. How do I trust somebody that ended up with my former wife?"
