Recently, Kurt Angle responded to a rumor of him being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Angle had the following to say about it, but take it as a grain of salt after how the rumors of his “retirement” have gone:
“I’ll believe the hype when I decide to talk to WWE. I haven’t. We were going to have some type of meeting last year, unfortunately it got cancelled. We really haven’t spoken. I don’t expect them to speak to me until my contract’s up and I haven’t really gone after them to talk to them.
“Somewhere along the line it’ll happen, I just don’t know when. Would it be an honour to be in the WWE Hall of Fame? Yeah, it’s an incredible honour. Would it kill me if I wasn’t? No, it wouldn’t. The most important thing to me is being in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, which is Olympic wrestling. That’s where my legacy truly is. It would be nice to be on the WWE Hall of Fame – it’ll happen, I just don’t know when.”
