Real reason why Kurt Angle was removed as Raw's GM

[2CT]

Mike Johnson of PWInsider Elite Audionoted Angle is preparing for another run and his forced absence could be the beginning of that chapter.



“Unless something has changed in the last 48 hours or so, Kurt Angle had been training for another return match. So it could be that this is the beginning of that storyline to bring him back to the wrestling ring. So either to move him temporarily from the General Manager or remove him completely from the General Manager and have him wrestle every now and again.”

This comes on heels of Tuesday's news that Angle is missing Toronto's Raw next week due to legal issues. It's possible both of these stories wind up being true, but in just 48 hours, Angle's soft suspension is driving the rumor mill.


The 49-year old Angle last competed at WrestleMania 34 when he tagged with Ronda Rousey against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. In the months since Angle's physicality has been limited to being judo tossed by Rousey.

It's hard to guess where this is heading, but it feels like Stephanie McMahon will drive this plot. In light of Raw's news, Angle did make this post to Instagram:



"I’m really sorry that I won’t be on Monday Night Raw for a little while. I enjoyed every minute of it with the WWEUniverse. I was told by @stephaniemcmahon that I need a vacation. I don’t know if it’s temporary or permanent. I Hope I will be back sooner than later. Thank you WWEUniverse. Much Love. #itstrue," he wrote.

so what are they really doing long range with Corbin?

Angle needs to chill out. He's nowhere near as mobile as he was during the 06 WHC run he had.

Obviously he’s gonna wrestle Baron Corbin for the GM role, but the ‘report’ said full time.

It’s not just his neck that’s broken. Dude stands in the ring with both knees bent like he’s about to sit in a chair

They should have done a storyline leading to Jason jordan becoming the new GM. he's out right? he's a natural heel that people want to boo. the spoiled brat angle could have worked.

I know right like if that wasn't what they were thinking before he got injured then they are retarded.. that was the only reason they announced the son gimmick I would have thought

There is no way anyone other than Kurt thinks he has any type of real run left.. He can continue to be GM and just insert himself into matches whenever it makes sense, why be a performer

Full time? I've seen action figures more articulated than current Kurt

Including his own
