I can't believe Kurt Angle is going into the WWE Hall of Fame! I figured they'd ignore him forever. :O

Announce him for the Rumble tonight and it'll immediately be the best Raw and biggest pop the company's had in years

It's true, it's DAMN true.
I don't know if it is too on the nose to do it, but I'd love to see him with AA.

Incredible. I'd thought it be years before we see Angle in the Hall of Fame.

Moments like this is when there should be some sort of BREAKING NEWS type show that interrupts the WWE Networks regular programming.

As amazing as it is I kind of wish they didn't announce it and his music just hit one time, the pop would be incredible

Looks like we've found Taker's WrasslinMania opponent.
I don't want Kurt anywhere near a ring if he's still a broken down husk

Dammit DM, for one single second, you made me mark out.
*sigh* You...might still got it.
Kurt is really shouldn't wrestle.

I mean he kinda is, but he's still out having matches, and doing it clean now from all accounts. He can totally have a solid match with a crazy hot Mania crowd doing the rest of the work.

Why did they black ball him for the last deacade?
Drugs are bad
He wanted to continue wrestling with no neck and full of painkillers, WWE didn't want him to die in their ring, so they fired him.

He wanted TNA and drugs more than WWE and money

the god, it is time, ROYAL RUMBLE PLSIf I get a WWE 3 month network card, am I good until Wrestlemania?
Weird, if Kurt headlining the Hall of Fame what does that mean for Daniel Bryan?
They always wanted to bring him back but probably still wanted to wrestle.

To be fair
if your neck is totally fucked, you should 100% take a tna schedule over a wwe schedule
kurt asked to work a limited schedule, wwe said no fuck off

Does a hall of fame induction ever imply a return to the ring for a short run or one off? I assume we'll be seeing Kurt on a WWE programme outside of HOF, they tend to do that, I remember Ultimate Warrior came out and did a promo either right before or right after his HOF, but it would be cool to see Kurt again sooner. Tonight would be getting those hopes up too high though, right?

"Kurt, I know you asked for time off but I need you to put over Cena!"
I believe they asked him to go to rehab and he said no.
I listened to an old Bryan and vinny review of TNA when Kurt was coming in and they made sound like TNA was going let him die in the ring due to his neck and drug problems at that time.
Nope, and Kurt can't pass a WWE physical and he really shouldn't be wrestling.

Most I've ever seen for Bryan and HOF is that he isn't going in 2017. He'll probably headline 2018.

My takeaway from this news is that Fastlane's main event will feature a tag team match between Roman Reigns & Bill Goldberg vs. Y2KO.
But where does that leave The Anomaly Brock Lesnar? Tune in to Raw to find out!

Everybody thought Kurt was going to die in the ring back then.

Yep. I remember for months just waiting for the announcement that Kurt Angle was either dead or paralyzed. We all talk about Daniel Bryan and his desire to compete beyond health and safety but Kurt Angle was that tiimes 5
New Year's Revolution 2005 is weeeird. The first two matches ended prematurely both due to seemingly legit knee injuries. The third and fourth matches were both Shelton Benjamin vs. Maven, where Maven just heeled on the mic before Shelton quickly beat him. And up next is a xenophobia-on-a-pole match between Jerry Lawler and Muhammad Hassan.
Oh, I just checked the card and Snitsky vs. Kane is after that. Hahaha. Poor Puerto Rico.

They like breaking news exclusively on ESPN instead.
It makes them feel mainstream and relevant. That's more important than popping the crowd.
No, it's not.
