Kurt Angle on why it was HIS IDEA to retire in 2019

[@durrclips746]

When you think you couldn't dislike Vince more. You find out he blocked Angle Vs CE a retirement match. Disgrace.

[@richcymru3976]

Feel bad for Kurt. He always gave his all, not wrestling meant his body couldn’t do it and asked to go out on his terms but was rejected. A match against John Cena would have been so much more rewarding for the fans but had a 10 minute retirement match instead. If it was Hogan, Rock, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker you could guarantee he’d let them go out the right way.

[@jaysonterry4746]

I think it was a big fuck you too angle for leaving and going to Tna in 06

[@johnthebomb06]

A new Team Angle with him and American Alpha would have been incredible!

[@MattAlbie]

Five seconds in hearing that KURT what I wanted too… FUCK Vince.

[@Dakatari]

Lol Kurt will always look back on his retirement match and truly have resent for Vince putting him against Corbin

[@SincerelySagacious]

My favorite wrestler of all time next to Bret Hart

[@VivaLaBamm]

I wish he came back as a HEEL GM. It would have mad his role so much better. I know he was a HEEL GM on SmackDown but still. It worked .

[@EPICBryce]

Mannn... Cena vs Angle would’ve been legendary. I wish they could have one last match

[@pappagamingpoo9766]

Would have been so much better

[@joemckim1183]

@@pappagamingpoo9766 It would've but I don't think Cena was available to work during that years WM in an inring capacity.

Cena vs angle makes the most sense in the world. Kurt you are one of my heroes (PA boy just like me) and I’m so sorry you didn’t get cena to end your career but none the less you are the GOAT!!!!

[@tthomaselli2]

I, personally didn't want to see Kurt Angle retire at 'WWE WrestleMania 35'... I honestly think Kurt Angle could've gone another 2-7 more years before finally retiring from in-ring competition.

[@joemckim1183]

Kurt admits in this video he didn't want to wrestle an extra year let alone 2-7 more years.

[@CeemPlay]

It was Vince's fault he had to retire. McMahon literally screwed up so much in Kurt's run. The GM thing, Jason Jordan angle, Kurt losing matches, Kurt vs Corbin. It's hard to screw up a legend like Kurt's swansong but somehow Vince did.

[@rodycaz8984]

Nope, not his fault at all. Angle took a lot of bad decisions throughout his career. Get a clue.

[@CeemPlay]

@@rodycaz8984 By 2017 he was clean as a whistle and could still go. Everyone could see that accept Vince

[@rodycaz8984]

@@CeemPlay Nope, he could barely go. His body was too broken down by that point and it showed. A guy like that can't be full-time and even wrestle monthly, you run the risk of something bad happening to him in the ring.

[@CeemPlay]

@@rodycaz8984 Watch matches from his independent run in 2016/17 he works fine. Had he returned to the active roster in 2017 and wrestled for 2 years on a couple of matches a month schedule or a little less it would have worked fine.

[@rodycaz8984]

@@CeemPlay I have seen a couple; he clearly struggled in the ring. As I said, his body was just too broken down by that point. There's no chance he could've had a final full-time run in WWE.

[@JUST_DEADPOOL141]

One of the GOATS.

[@ankitdixit6073]

Kurt says himself as a hall of fame legend but says it in so obvious manner it never sounds like a brag.

[@Enginshim]

The love child of Kurt and Queen Sharmelle!

[@DUFFYISBACK]

would love to hear his thoughts on his match with owen hart the king of harts

[@stevenilic260]

Kurt is the kind of talent that could have bought the young talent up but by still being a top guy. Vince just treated him horribly in that final run, was very nearsighted booking...

[@ericdiaz153]

This angle was trash having Corbin going over Angle.

[@jasonrice9973]

‘I didn’t think Baron deserved a wrestlemania with a hall of fame legend’... alright Kurt! It’s true, it’s damn true.... but not one for the humble pie it seems!

[@watchreport]

But he’s right. Has nothing to do with being humble. Corbin wasn’t brought up to that level yet, and just look at the match. It was a crap send off for Kurt and did nothing for Baron. These past 5-6 years or so, maybe even 10, it seems WWE has no idea how to push and get talent over. The social media and all of them just every other minute saying it’s a show and we are making stories and not keeping any semblance of character doesn’t help, but it just seems WWE doesn’t want to create 5 star matches and have talent get over at all.

[@OllieMartinGamer]

Kurt is really humble.

[@Biggie2829]

Vince is a genius love him or hate him, best business man in the industry.

[@joemckim1183]

It was good that Angle retired when he did. Otherwise his WM retirement match would've been the No Fans Allowed WrestleMania from the Performance Center.

[@jonsnipe5484]

Should've been Cena for final match

[@gene8172]

Vince can be such a prick sometimes....

Correcting someone's grammar on the internet for the fact that people have decided that there are specific places where they would like to use proper grammar and other places where they would not.🤔 First of all, I don't even believe it when they say that. If you have good grammar, you'll just use it and you won't think twice about it. To each their own. I'll keep correcting when I want to.

[@krow449]

I learned a few things about Vince here: 1. He's not toxic or a bad leader - he knows what he's doing for the FUTURE 2. He's not the only one calling the shots here and does want to involve his legends and talents 3. His thinking process has a whole lot to do with how the future will be, not today 4. Kurt's decision to retire not affecting Vince's direction is a great indication of fortitude in decision making. If every talent/legend came to Vince with retirement final matches, he won't be able to execute his storylines and merch ideas properly 5. Vince isn't a devil whatsoever. He's just a very intelligent business man who has to report back to shareholders, partners, talent, and corporate overall.

Sound like hogan, rock and cena with the brown nosing! 😆

I bet Cena would have been down
