10 Ways To Book Kurt Angle's WWE Return
1. A Retirement Tour
All things considered, this might be the ideal option for Kurt’s WWE return. The man himself has previously stated that while he’d love to wrestle for WWE again, he can’t withstand another full-time run. If he does step back into the ring, it’ll likely only be for a handful of matches, but that shouldn’t exclude him from a final run.
Kurt Angle deserves the opportunity to retire in the company that made him famous in the first place. Sure, he ended up wrestling for TNA for longer than WWE, but his name will always be synonymous with the Ruthless Aggression era and Attitude’s dying days. Kurt did more in his six-year WWE run than most wrestlers will do in a lifetime, and it would be a tremendous gesture for WWE to host his final match.
Big retirement matches are always surefire money-spinners, and Kurt’s should be no different. WWE can either use him sparingly like they’ve done with Goldberg lately, or have him appear on television every week to build a proper feud. Whatever method they chose, viewers would tune-in in droves throughout the build-up, and the match itself would be huge.
Ultimately, Kurt Angle’s retirement tour would be all about picking the perfect opponent. Old rival Brock Lesnar is an option, but Lesnar’s penchant for hurting his opponents might not suit Kurt in 2017. Instead, WWE should look no further than AJ Styles, who wrestled Kurt multiple times in TNA from 2006-13. The duo’s familiarity and skill should see them coast to an excellent match, and a fitting farewell for one of WWE’s most decorated wrestlers.
Angle will be wrestling for our sister promotion WCPW in the main event of the upcoming True Destiny iPPV in Milton Keynes on February 12.
