Kurt Angle comments on WWE potentially buying TNA Wrestling library

  • Ian Carey

Kurt Angle is excited at the prospect of WWE owning the TNA Wrestling library.

Angle was a guest on Ken Anderson’s Mic Check podcast recently and discussed the current partnership between TNA Wrestling and WWE, saying he didn’t think in a million years the two companies would ever work together.

“I never thought in a million years WWE would ever partner up with TNA,” Angle said on the show.

He also mentioned that he’s excited about the partnership because he feels it will eventually lead to WWE owning the TNA Wrestling library.

“The reason why I love it is 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 and the WWE fans are going to be able to have access to it.”

“I had a much better career at TNA than I did WWE and I was there a lot longer too. So most of my career was in TNA and a lot of the WWE fans didn’t see me.”

“I know it’s going to happen eventually. I just never thought it would in a million years. But now that they have partnered and they’re both invested in each other, I think eventually they’re going to buy the library.”

Angle spent ten years in TNA Wrestling from 2006 until 2016, ultimately returning to WWE in January 2017. He is a six-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion and was inducted into the promotion’s Hall of Fame in 2013. He’s also a former X-Division Champion and held the TNA Tag Team Championships twice, once with Sting and once with AJ Styles.
