Kurt Angle Thinks He Can Pass WWE Physical

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Kurt Angle spoke about his future with WWE and revealed that he thinks he can pass a WWE physical to return to the ring. Here are highlights:

On if he will wrestle for WWE again: “I don’t think I’m done. I don’t think I’m close to being done. I’m not going to tell you that I will wrestle for another five years, but I believe there are numerous matches ahead of me. WWE has not given me any notification that I am going to wrestle, but I believe the fans will speak.”

On passing a physical: “If everything goes the right way with the physical, which I believe I would pass very easily, I believe there is an opportunity for fans to see Kurt Angle wrestle in WWE. But again, I have to reiterate, they have not talked about that at all.”

On Dusty Rhodes’ influence in wrestling: “The impact Dusty had on wrestling was unmatched. He also made it feasible for talent who didn’t look like bodybuilders to have success. He wasn’t just a great worker and a great wrestler, and obviously a great talker, but he showed that you don’t have to look like Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns to be successful. That’s where Dusty made such a huge impact, and people could relate to him.”
