Holy shit did I miss this or has it just happened?

Angle into HOF is amazing - one more match! We get to hear the music again!

 

[El Pescado]

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

[Raw64life]

^ it just happened. Pretty cool. Hope he gets at least one more match. Preferably against someone he hasn't already wrestled.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

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

 

[Damn Silly]

It's true, it's DAMN true.

Kurt being put into the HOF is awesome. I hope he's back on TV in some capacity

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

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

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

 

[Dark Ninja]

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

 

[Bronx-Man]

I still can't believe Angle hasn't popped up in WWE for over a decade now.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

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

 

[Bluekaveli]

WHAT THE FUCK ANGLE IN THE HOF HOLY SHIT

 

[Heroman]

Kurt going to Hall of Fame cool I guess , the WWE Hall of Fame means nothing

 

[FlammableD]

HOLY SHIT YES THAT MUSIC

jfc that match graphic, c'mon progress if you're going to lend them your title lend them your graphic designer

 

[SallyIsNow]

TNA LEGEND KURT ANGLE IN THE WWE HOF!!?!?!?

 

[The Silver]

Looks like we've found Taker's WrasslinMania opponent.

Spoiler

I don't want Kurt anywhere near a ring if he's still a broken down husk

 

[Professor Beef]

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.

 

[Into the Light]

Why did they black ball him for the last deacade?

 

[Hasney]

Why did they black ball him for the last deacade?

Drugs are bad

 

[DMczaf]

Why did they black ball him for the last deacade?

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.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Why did they black ball him for the last deacade?

He wanted TNA and drugs more than WWE and money

 

[Anth0ny]

I just want him to lock that ankle one more time and proudly yell


TAP

TAP YOU SON OF A BITCH

I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL BREAK YOUR FUCKING ANKLE

[Zach]

Kurt Angle cooool.

Holy crap, this Muhammad Hassan gimmick.

 

[friskykillface]

HOLY SHIT YES THAT MUSIC

https://twitter.com/WWE/status/821117398493364225

the god, it is time, ROYAL RUMBLE PLS

If I get a WWE 3 month network card, am I good until Wrestlemania?

 

[Heroman]

Weird, if Kurt headlining the Hall of Fame what does that mean for Daniel Bryan?

Why did they black ball him for the last deacade?

They always wanted to bring him back but probably still wanted to wrestle.

 

[FlammableD]

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

 

[gun_haver]

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.

Happy MLK day!

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

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

 

[Pikma]

Is Daniel Bryan really confirmed for the HoF?

 

[excelsiorlef]

Meltzer and Alvarez brought up a great idea of having Brock come out every week and beat someone in less than a minute as his build up to Brock/Goldberg III.

That's awesome

 

[UberTag]

Apparently Goldberg is wrestling at FastLane? 00:31:45 on the last ep of The LAW.

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!

Kurt is a part timer. the rules dont apply

oh, i'm sure that was part of it too.

Biggest lock since Koko

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

 

[MG310]

Cena vs. Angle 15 years after his debut match against him seems like something they would do.

 

[excelsiorlef]

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

 

[imBask]

why not just tease it and pop his music tonight?

why?

does WWE hate pops?

 

[Zach]

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.

 

[UberTag]

They like breaking news exclusively on ESPN instead.
It makes them feel mainstream and relevant. That's more important than popping the crowd.

Spoiler

No, it's not.
