Kurt Angle: I Never Thought In A Million Years WWE Would Ever Partner Up With TNA

Kurt Angle discusses WWE and TNA’s partnership

Angle spent his career across both promotions, but spent a larger amount of time with TNA in the end. In January of this year, the two companies would announce a business partnership that has seen the two companies work together and lend each other talent, with Trick Williams remaining the TNA World Heavyweight Champion despite being a WWE NXT superstar.

While speaking on the latest episode of the Mic Check with Ken Anderson, Kurt was asked about the WWE and TNA partnership, noting that he never thought in a million years that the partnership would ever happen.

“I was actually really excited, to be honest with you. I think I never thought in a million years, especially when we were competing against WWE, when Ken and I was at TNA, I never thought in a million years WWE would ever partner up with TNA, and the thing is, the reason why I love it, because I know eventually the WWE is going to buy the TNA library, and the WWE will now own all the Kurt Angle footage at TNA. The WWE fans are going to be able to have access to it. You know, I’m going to tell you right now, I had a much better career at TNA than I did WWE. I was there a lot longer, too. So most of my career was in TNA. A lot of the WWE fans didn’t see me. So now I have the opportunity of having the fans being allowed to see me compete in TNA and perform. It just…I know it’s going to happen eventually. I just never thought it would in a million years, but you know, now that they have partnered and they’re both, invested in each other. I think eventually they’re going to buy the library.”

Angle recently commented on if he would have explored pro wrestling if something like Real American Freestyle existed in the 90s. You can read more about that here.
