Kurt Angle Reveals He Had Multiple Offers From AEW – During and interview with The Wrestling Inc. Daily Kurt Angle was asked if he has talked to AEW about working for them.
“Yes, they offered me a couple of different contracts,” Angle revealed. “I turned it down for personal reasons, but Tony Khan’s been really nice to me, very generous, and I really appreciate his interest in having me there. But at this particular time, I can’t do it.”
Angle then went into detail on what the AEW offers entailed.
“The first offer, they wanted me to have many matches,” Angle said. “The next offer, I think, was three matches, and then one was just an on-camera personality, no wrestling.”
Currently, Angle has been focusing on many outside endeavors, including his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show. Angle is also commemorating his 25th anniversary of winning a gold medal at the ’96 Olympics through a partnership with Garrixon. Angle spoke on how the partnership came about and the process behind the making of his new signature sneaker.
“Well, I was interested in doing sneakers, and I contacted a friend of mine, who reached out to Garrixon,” Angle explained. “They decided to do a custom-made sneaker for Kurt Angle, and I was very excited. And I wanted to see their style and the company and what direction they wanted to go, and they wanted to go the same direction as me. So I decided to do it with Garrixon Studios. It was great [working with them]. I approved everything. Everything that they did from detailing, to making the shoe, to the colors, obviously the slogans and the logos, it was a team effort by all of us, and it took us a good year and a half to make it.”
