Kurt Angle can't be Raw GM forever, especially given how badly he wants to get back in the ring. One way to ease him into a performance role would be to make him a manager; it would get him closer to the ring, while also allowing him to more directly share the benefits of his years of experience with younger talent.

No young talents are more in need of guidance -- or more perfectly engineered to fit Angle's style -- than American Alpha. Chad Gable and Jason Jordan were white hot in NXT, but they've floundered somewhat on the main roster, where wrestling acumen isn't always enough.

Enter Coach Kurt, standing by with valuable experience, a metric ton of audience goodwill, and a set of three matching tracksuits. If Angle can't help casual fans pay attention to Chad Gable's breathtaking bridges and Jason Jordan's nuclear hot tags, we don't deserve them.
