No.He's not in any good shape or form to wrestle again.He should not be wrestling anymore period.Sign a Merchandise deal,Make a few on screen tv appearances and thats pretty much it for me. He is in a far better shape than The Undertaker was at WM30.

Maybe I've been wrong all along but my understanding was always that Angle didn't ask for time off... he was fired cause he wouldn't go to rehab.

I am a huge Kurt fan and personally I would love to see him end his career in WWE. I really hope he comes back even if just for one match. Plus, like the article said, the potential Legends deal goodies could be a good use of him as well. I know I'd buy new Angle mercy. I can only imagine his music hitting and him coming out and beating Rusev after a match on Raw. This needs to happen.

Then a few weeks later signed with TNA I stand corrected Courtesy of wiki "Angle stated in the Kurt Angle: Champion documentary DVD that he asked for his release from WWE because he couldn't take time off and was working hurt, severely on some occasions. He also states that when he quit, WWE lost their very top talent, as he was at the very top of the payroll."

Even if it's only one match, he needs to come back to WWE.

I wouldn't be opposed. He can still wrestle if he wants to and he seems healthy now so...

Maybe I've been wrong all along but my understanding was always that Angle didn't ask for time off... he was fired cause he wouldn't go to rehab. Yup. He'd been on suicide/drugdeath watch for about a year (since either just before or just after Eddie Guerrero died), and he was getting more and more erratic. Telling people he was fine but showing up in no condition to perform, and in the end, they cut him for his own safety because Vince doesn't want an Olympic gold medal winner dying on the WWE roster. This is the same reason they've turned him down every time his TNA contract has been up for renewal over the last six years, including this most recent time. Kurt does lie in some interviews though and pretends he quit WWE. The guy's still a nutcase, I can't see him coming back except for a Hall of Fame run if he cleans himself up in several years.

Maybe 6 or 7 years ago, but not now.

my theory? because most people think jeff hardy is a joke of a wrestler, and angle is one of the greatest ever. talent > personal demons and jeff's issues were with serious drugs...allegedly angle's issues were with pain pills and alcohol....allegedly but you're absolutely right, neither one of them should be anything but welcomed back with open arms at any time. because they BOTH provide quality wrestling entertainment I can respect this answer. I don't see a difference between alcohol/pain meds and hard drugs, personally. They're both addicting substances in which the person attached to them needs to get serious help, and deal with those demons, but -- Angle's legit wrestling talent was always superior to Jeff's. I can't argue that. But Jeff has provided some of the most amazing spots in wrestling history. I hear he's also doing damn well in TNA lately (haven't watched in almost 2 years)... I hope to see both of them back. The figs would be awesome. The DVD compilations etc, would be legit. And if they can still go, there are current stars they would both do well off of. Rollins and Hardy could be MotY worthy. should make it clear, i, personally would welcome both those guys back at any point i just think with the responses most of them get on here that its because hardy was viewed as a "spot monkey" while angle is usually in people's "10 greatest wrestlers"

I'm curious... Not looking to start a fight, but a civil discussion could be interesting. Kurt Angle has made poor personal decisions, in his life. You could even say it's affected his performance in the ring, at times. So far, he's resoundingly welcomed back with open arms. Now, Jeff Hardy on the same hand, has done the same things -- and he's almost a 50/50 split with being welcomed back. (Personally, I'd love to see them both back) But, why? Why is one forgiven and not the other? Why is one so warmly received, and the other only partially? Especially considering Hardy in his prime was up there with Cena, Punk and Bryan for the past 10 years as top stars... Because Kurt Angle won an Olympic gold medal with a broken ing neck. Anyway.. Alcohol? It's legal. Pain killers? Proscribed by doctors. Legal Abused? Most likely. That is illegal. On the flip side: Cocaine? Illegal. Marijuana? Illegal. Whatever the hell else Jeff Hardy was on? Most likely illegal. Plus alcohol and painkillers. Olympic Gold Medalist. Remembered for classic wrestling matches. Spot monkey. Remembered for jumping off ladders and going through tables. Just saying.

Damn guess Cena, Edge, Batista, Taker, Michaels, Triple H, Flair and Orton weren't around at the time

Wrestling wise, hell yeah but merchandise selling and ticket selling wise, wwe did not lose their very top talent that space was Cenas and still is to this day

Nay.
I just don't see it happening, as much as it would be incredibly cool to see him return.

Most likely illegal. Plus alcohol and painkillers. Olympic Gold Medalist. Remembered for classic wrestling matches. Spot monkey. Remembered for jumping off ladders and going through tables. Just saying. That really doesn't set him apart from the pack. Whether the substances are legal, or illegal, they're still highly addictive, and dangerous. If he drinks, gets in a car, and ends up killing himself, or someone else, is that any different than if Hardy OD-ed on whatever he was on? And I don't remember Jeff Hardy as a 'spot monkey' -- I remember Jeff Hardy as a bigger star, and name, than CM Punk or Daniel Bryan could have wished to be at one point in time. Winning a Gold Medal doesn't make him untouchable. Respectable? Certainly. But 'all is forgiven'? Again, I like both, and would love to see both back. But I simply don't agree with 'one's forgiven because he won a gold medal; the other one just jumps off of things.' as being the only reason one is welcome back, and the other should be shunned.
