Kurt Angle hasn’t been entirely honest, or entirely clear about the end of his time in TNA. After months of speculation and rumors about Angle’s retirement and final run with TNA, Angle is not claiming that he isn’t retiring from pro wrestling entirely as it was advertised by several sources.

The former TNA and WWE Champion was recently interviewed by WrestleTalk TV and Angle cleared the air about the rumors of his retirement and had the following to say about his retirement:

“I told TNA I was taking a year off, they respected my wish,” Angle explained. “They would like to talk to me in a year. WWE’s an option. I haven’t lied to TNA, I haven’t lied to anybody, I just want time off. I’ve been doing it for 16 years. I didn’t want to say I was retiring because I’d be lying.

Will Angle be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame: 

“Even if I do only wrestle one more match, if I say I’m retiring January 31, I’m lying, and I’m not going to do that. I’m going to wrestle again, I just don’t know when. Is there a possible WWE return? Yes. Is there a possible Hall of Fame induction? I’m going to be inducted, it’s just a matter of when,” Angle said.
