Kurt Angle Possibly Retiring After WrestleMania
The following news is derived and re-written from PWTorch.com.
As we've mentioned before, Kurt Angle decided to put off surgery until after WrestleMania. This allows him to work his WWE title match against Brock Lesnar in the main-event of the show.
What hasn't been mentioned before is a rumor going around the WWE locker room. Some of the wrestlers are echoing a Kurt Angle retirement rumor.
Angle will eventually need even more surgery to have more vertebrae fused. After two or more vertebrae are fused, it will disable him from wrestling again. At the absolute most, Angle will be able to put off having the second surgery for around 5 years.
Those close to Kurt Angle claim he decided to put off surgery and work WrestleMania because it could very well be his final wrestling match ever. If he has to, Angle would obviously go out on top heading into the biggest show of the year as WWE champion wrestling in the main-event, as opposed to a regular match on SmackDown!
