Kurt Angle was the focus of an interview posted Wednesday, March 13, 2013 by Ted Gruber of ChicagoNow.com. In this interview, Angle talks about Olympic wrestling and his feelings about the sport being removed from the 2020 Olympics…
“…It seems the IOC is either about money or politics. Either somebody threw a lot of money at them to drop the sport or other issues arose to get rid of wrestling.”
Angle also talks about TNA’s growth and position in Sport’s Entertainment…
“It continues to grow no doubt worldwide. We are on the road for good and we are taking little steps to improve the overall product. I believe in 5 years if things are done right we could be competing with the monster (WWE)…”
He also comments on his own future after being asked if he still plans to retire in 3 years…
“I might be involved in some way but not in the ring. I might have a part time schedule where I do some selected shows, which I can handle. If I decide to do that I won’t announce my retirement. But I’m going to give TNA the next 3 years of my absolute best and see what happens.”
