On his Twitter account (@anglefoods1) Kurt Angle posted the following concerning his training to wrestle at the 2012 Olympics:

"Much negativity goin round @ Olympic comeback.I truly am getting ready.Don't compare it to my Ufc- mma attempts,We couldn't agree on "terms"
Terms that were about $ and starting dates.Olympics will be on My "terms". Nobody elses'.It's not for Publicity or I would tweet it everyday

To the naysayers, believe what U want. But "I" am in control of this. Nobody else. My nephew and I started training for it.
As long as I stay injury free,I am going for it.Tna's backing Me.It won't be easy. Probably harder than Mma. But at least its under my terms"

Kurt later posted:


"I am signing a 3 1/2 Guarantee Contract with Tna. I will be compensated Higher than Wwe. I am Proud to be in Tna. Thank You Dixie!!!"
