Kurt Angle discusses why he never opened a wrestling school after he retired.
With Angle being regarded by many as one of the top in ring talents of all time, there is a general consensus that if you want to learn, Kurt is the man to study. However, Angle has never trained talent in any capacity.
On a recent Q&A episode of his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show Kurt explained why he has never opened a wrestling school, simply stating he does not have the time.
“I’m happy where I am. I did have a wrestling club, an amateur wrestling club, for a while, but when I started pro wrestling, that had to be gone. That was finished,” he said. “I never thought about having a wrestling school. Probably because I don’t have the time. If I don’t have the time, I’m not going to put in the effort necessary to make these guys Superstars. You want to make sure that you have a great wrestling school and that a lot of your wrestlers end up getting hired with certain companies, and you want to be able to have like a great reputation doing that. I can’t put in that time necessary to make that happen.”
You know what, I had been offered a few times, and I turned it down because I don’t do seminars, and I wish I did. Ever since I got my knees replaced. I never thought about it. You know, I could probably get in the ring and still be okay. I have been out of the game for so long, I don’t know how well I would be able to coach,”
