Kurt Angle answers why he has never opened a training school for future professional wrestlers.
Kurt Angle is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of his generation. Some wrestlers, when their time between the ropes has come to a close, open up a training school to help the next generation of squared circle competitors.
Kurt Angle has never done this, and on a recent Q&A episode of his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, he explains that he has never believed he has the time to run a school properly.
"I'm happy where I am. I did have a wrestling club, an amateur wrestling club, for a while, but when I started pro wrestling, that had to be gone. That was finished," he said. "I never thought about having a wrestling school. Probably because I don't have the time. If I don't have the time, I'm not going to put in the effort necessary to make these guys Superstars. You want to make sure that you have a great wrestling school and that a lot of your wrestlers end up getting hired with certain companies, and you want to be able to have like a great reputation doing that. I can't put in that time necessary to make that happen."
Furthermore, Kurt Angle also talked about why he has turned down past seminar offers.
"You know what, I had been offered a few times, and I turned it down because I don't do seminars, and I wish I did. Ever since I got my knees replaced. I never thought about it. You know, I could probably get in the ring and still be okay. I have been out of the game for so long, I don't know how well I would be able to coach," he said.
Kurt Angle has not wrestled since WrestleMania 35 in 2019. However, he has recently expressed his willingness to do cinematic matches. Read more here.
