Kurt Angle Talks About Regretting His WWE Exit in 2006

Kurt Angle recently spoke with WETM NBC Elmira about his WWE exit in 2006, and why he partially regrets leaving the company when he did. He also spoke about why he’s disappointed that he spent most of his physical prime in TNA/Impact Wrestling.

“I had some regrets, because I was just starting to get good when I quit WWE in 2006. I was just starting to come into my own. Not that I didn’t have incredible matches there, I did, from 2001 to 2006, but I started really becoming a ‘seasoned veteran’ six years into my career and that was right around 2006. So, I had a better career in TNA, unfortunately most of the WWE Universe will never see those matches, but at the same time, I’m really happy that I had that kind of impact in six and half years in WWE, where [they induct] me into the [WWE] Hall of Fame 11 years later.”

Angle will likely get an opportunity to show how great he’s become at some point in the near future, provided he’s able to pass WWE’s physical, which he says he hasn’t taken yet.
