Kurt Angle Confirms He’s Taking A Year Away From Wrestling

Kurt Angle’s status has been questionable ever since his “retirement tour” ended in TNA earlier this year.

The former TNA and WWE Champion is scheduled to take on Rey Mysterio in a match for UR Fight in late March, but Angle is still insisting that he’s taking a break from wrestling.

While in London, Kurt Angle did an interview with ESPN and discussed his career and revealed what his plans are for his career in the future:

“Wrestling has treated me very well. I had a great time in WWE, I had a great time in TNA. I’m very proud of my accomplishments, but I’m at a point in my life where, right now, family is more important, and it’s time for me to spend more time with them,” says Angle.

“I’m gonna take a break from [professional] wrestling, I know that for sure, at least a year. So we’ll see how it goes and I’ll go from there.

“I’m not gonna say I’m gonna retire. I am pretty much done with TNA. Not sure, maybe down the road, maybe I might come back, but most likely I probably won’t, because there’s a chance that I might not wrestle again. I just wanna get a feeler this year and see what I wanna do and see where I wanna go.”

“Even at 47, I’m at the top of my game, so the only thing I need is a little bit more time to recuperate, but other than that I can put on the five-star matches. So I’m not really concerned about my performance, I’m more concerned about how I’m gonna feel for the next 30, 40 years.”
