Kurt Angle Reveals That He's Considering Retiring In One Year

Kurt Angle revealed this past Friday during an appearance on the "Busted Open" radio show with hosts Dave LaGreca and Doug Mortman that he could be coming closer to retirement then he expected. "I gotta reevaluate. I'm pretty banged up. I've put a lot of effort into TNA as well. When I got there, they really weren't wrestling that much," Angle said. "Right when I got there, it was seemed like they chose... 'Kurt Angle got there, okay, we'll start having more shows.' My schedule became pretty heavy pretty quickly, but the last year or so they kind of backed off a little bit and knew they need to take care of me if they want me in a little bit longer. Physically, I'm fine. The problem is I'm 41 years-old now. It's lot harder for me to recuperate. I'd say the last year-and-a-half have been the most difficult on me... I'm finding out that my body is not recuperating as fast as it used to. I was able to jump up out of bed and go and work out right away for the last 39 years, and then the last year-and-a-half has been a struggle... That's what TNA has done for me."
