16 Revelations From The FalconArrow's WWE Reddit AMA
8. There's Been No Talk Of Kurt Angle
One of the bigger disappointments for me personally - and I hear others felt the same way - was the company’s decision not to bring the biggest free agent in wrestling, Kurt Angle in for WrestleMania 32.
Well, according to falconarrow we shouldn’t be holding our breath, because there are no discussions ongoing that mention Angle right now.
“None. I dont think there is a real want for him as the capacity for him getting injured is huge. I can only assume they will bring him back for a one off when they want to but I dont see that in the cards for now.”
Curiously, when asked specifically if she felt that the WWE might bring Angle in to work a retirement storyline:
“I think its very possible but he needs to stop wrestling now and just work out and get in best shape as possible. I dont think they touch him with a ten foot pole as long as he is still taking matches.”
It looks like WWE’s experiences of Angle in 2006 - broken down, unreliable and dependent on painkillers - are still fresh in people’s minds. Time for a positive PR offensive, perhaps?
