The former Olympic gold medalist’s contract will be ending this month and the UK tour will be his last run as reported via 24Wrestling.com.
Angle announced his retirement back in November. He will move and become a commentator for Spike TV starting Feb. 19. But is Angle really finished with in-ring action and fine behind calling fights for Bellator and possibly other shows?
A previous report from Wrestling Inc. carries some possible scenario for Angle moving forward. The former WWE star says that he wants to take some time off.
“No guarantees, I just told them I'd consider it. I just want to take a break and get away from wrestling. I've been doing it for so long. I made up my mind last year when I signed with TNA for one year,” says Angle in that interview.
As far as the WWE is concerned, a place where he didn’t exactly leave gracefully, Angle seems to be open to the idea though he doesn’t see anything materializing for now.
“It all depends on how I feel about the situation. Is there a possibility that there will be a meeting in the future? Yes, I’m not counting it out. I think anybody in pro wrestling wouldn’t mind their last match being at WrestleMania,” says Angle in a separate interview with Ring Rust Radio.
He did however add that if ever he would rejoin the WWE circle, he is not too thrilled to be working in NXT.
“With all due respect, the talent on the NXT roster is phenomenal. They are doing something right down there as far as getting talent ready. I just don’t think it would be worth it for either side to have me go down there and work on NXT,” he adds.
