So about that huge Kurt Angle announcement.
Baron Corbin ruins a lot of things and tonight (Feb. 4) on Raw, Baron Corbin ruined a possible Angle retirement speech.
This was Angle at his best. A battered, broken man coming to grips with his own athletic mortality. Angle was tugging at every fan’s heart strings and it felt like this really could be one of the last times we see the Olympic Gold Medalist in a WWE ring.

Then Corbin showed up.
And then Drew McIntyre showed up.
Instead, WWE used Angle to get Braun Strowman back into the fold versus Corbin and McIntyre.

WWE promoted something and then did something else?
Sure we got to see The Monster Among Men toss an office chair really far, but WWE is really on to something with the classic ‘old wrestler questions if he still has it’ story.
Is all of this setting up Kurt Angle for one final match at WrestleMania 35?
