Kurt Angle would consider managing.

Since retiring from in-ring competition in 2019, Angle has mainly focused on his podcast, conventions, and becoming a meme machine.

As it turns out, Angle would be open to returning to the business to manage an active performer, but only if the situation and money were right for him.

“I’m happy doing what I’m doing. But would I consider managing? Yeah, it would have to be the right thing.” Angle said on a recent episode of the Kurt Angle Show. “It would have to be the right deal, the right program. Not only that, but the money has to be right. I will tell you this, I feel a little badly about doing this, but a few years ago, WWE wanted me to manage Matt Riddle. I was into it. I was like, okay, we could have some great vignettes. I think we would have had great chemistry, but it didn’t happen unfortunately because they didn’t offer me the right amount of money. The money they offered me was really not good. Not to say anything bad about the company, but it was like okay, that was kind of a kick to the nuts kind of an offer [laughs]."
