Kurt Angle comments on the possibility of managing Chad Gable’s American Made faction
During his podcast earlier in 2024, Hall of Famer Kurt Angle commented on potentially making a non-wrestling WWE return under the Triple H regime after previously turning down offers. Angle stated that he’d consider a manager role but the money would “have to be right.”
While speaking at a K & S WrestleFest virtual signing, Angle commented on the possibility of managing Chad Gable’s American Made faction…
“If the money was right (I would come back to manage a faction)… The spot (matters too), yeah, definitely. I think Chad (Gable) and his gang that he has right now, that would be a great idea. I wouldn’t mind doing a spot here and there. But, if you’re gonna ask me to do a wrestling match, it’s just not gonna happen. Yeah, I could take some bumps.”
Angle also shot down the idea of being a trainer for NXT…
“You know what? I love my life right now. Being retired, spending time with my family. I missed a lot of that when I was in the business and I like where I am in my life right now. I’m working with USA Wrestling right now as the Chairman to raise funds for the wrestlers so they don’t have to work while they’re training for the Olympics… Look at athletes in Russia and China. They’re Olympic athletes. The government pays them to be athletes. They pay them to train and compete. Here in the United States, we don’t have that luxury. So we need to fundraise for our athletes, or they have to get jobs and they have to work their training schedule around their job and if you’re doing that, you’re not gonna be at your full ability. There’s just no way. So, we’re raising funds for the athletes so that we can fund them, so they can worry — just strictly focus on training and competition.” (quotes courtesy of PostWrestling.com)
