– Kurt Angle Reveals How Many More Years He Can Wrestle, Says WWE Would Have To Be Very Selective In Using Him
During a recent interview with FOX Sports Australia, Old School WWF Legend, WWE Hall of Famer & current Raw General Manager Kurt Angle had the following to say regarding how many more years he can wrestle:
“Depending on how they use me — I could wrestle a few years or I could wrestle a few months. If they’re selective and put me with guys who really need that rub or guys at the top and want to put me in the title picture. I can’t do it full-time. I can’t do what I used to be doing but I can still go. I can probably do it for a few more years.
They would have to be very selective with how they use me. There’s talent I’ve wrestled already like HHH, John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton and ones I haven’t. The ones that come to mind are Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns. Dean Ambrose, Sheamus and Cesaro, Rusev — hopefully I’ll be able to mix it up with a few of those guys as well.”
