Part 2 of Jim Ross' Ross Report interview with wrestling legend Kurt Angle is now online at PodcastOne.com. This week, Angle spoke extensively about his desire to return to WWE.
Angle said he's absolutely interested in a possible WWE return. He's currently in a tough spot, because he wants job security and TNA has treated him very well so far. Due to his TNA contract, he's unable to approach WWE about returning. He can't speak to Vince, Stephanie or Triple H. If he waits out his contract and then approaches WWE, he runs the risk of them not He's always said he wants to finish his career with WWE. At the same time, the past year has been a roller coaster ride for him.
He has a great relationship with Dixie Carter, who has always treated him right. However, there have been times over the past year he's wanted out, even though things are getting better lately. He wants to help TNA, but he also wants to see what WWE has to say.
Jim Ross said he met the Carter family once and he's never met nicer people than Bob and Janice Carter. Angle agreed they are wonderful, supportive people and said Bob and Janice are now a lot more hands-on with TNA.
JR asked Angle if WWE's Wellness program and medical testing would be an issue for him. Angle said no, not at this point. A year ago, yes. He was on a lot of pain killers, Xanax and was abusing alcohol. He got himself in a lot of trouble and it was time to get clean. He's been sober for almost 11 months and is much happier, clear minded and is now listening to his body. He's heard rumors that "he can't pass a physical" but that would be no problem at all. His neck is fine, he'll bounce back from his recent knee surgery. He'll be just fine and can pass any physical.
