Kurt is not stupid, he's just planting the seeds for his elaborate plan, dude is 10 steps ahead of the game.
This is the same way the Cena/Rock Saga started, with the different jabs through social media/interviews by Cena.the only difference is that Kurt can actually work the mic and has the ability to give you one of the greatest matches you've ever seen at any given time when focused, and hold up his end of the bargain in terms of selling a wrestling angle unlike Cena. i think legitimately wants one more run in WWE to prove that he can still go and is not just attention whoring and baiting the Rock like Cena was, but his loyalty to Dixie and TNA won't let him come right out and say it.
It's only a matter of time before King Kurt comes home and starts a shoot style feud with Punk, and everything he has been saying about Punk over the last year will all factor into the feud, that will culminate with a classic wrestling clinic between Punk and Angle, that will be in the same vein as Rock/Cena only better because Punk and Angle BOTH can tell a great story in the ring.
Can't Wait
