In all honesty, TNA needs Kurt Angle far more than The Olympic Gold Medallist needs TNA - and although Dixie and co have wisely signed Angle to a new contract, every WWE fan knows that Kurt hasnt made his last appearance on WWE programming just yet. Named as the greatest technical wrestler in WWE history by one of our recent features, Kurt Angles in-ring prowess needs neither introduction nor embellishment. As his contemporary work in TNA shows, Angle is still a genuinely world class talent, even all these years (and more than a few injuries) later. Hes also an obvious candidate for the WWE Hall of Fame, which is rapidly becoming a major attraction in its own right, but hed need to be under contract with Vinny Mac in order to be inducted, otherwise Vince would be giving free exposure to TNA, which is something that he would never, ever do. So, 2015 will almost certainly not be the year for Angles WWE return. Besides, there is still much for him to do as an active member of the TNA roster. However, we reckon you can bet good money on Kurt getting one last WWE run (either in front of, or behind the cameras) within the next 5 years or so.

I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work.
Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that!
Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?)
