Kurt Angle To Undergo Third Neck Surgery; Will Return

 

Kurt Angle announced during a radio appearance today with WWE diva Dawn Marie in Toronto on The Fan 590 that he will indeed need a third neck surgery. Angle did not reveal many details, however, he did say that the surgery is scheduled for next month and he hopes to return to the ring in time for SummerSlam this August.

 

Angle, who has had a bad history of neck problems since winning a Gold Medal in wrestling at the 1996 Olympic Games, has been out of the ring since his loss to Eddie Guerrero at WrestleMania XX back in March. WWE has of course kept Angle active by making him the SmackDown! GM.

 

Hopefully much more will be known after his interview that he is taping today with TSN "Off The Record".

I think it's pretty clear that Angle shouldn't wrestle anymore.

I think it's pretty clear that Angle shouldn't wrestle anymore.

He's never going to stop wrestling. If he ends up in a wheelchair (god forbid), he'll probably come back every 2 months and still wrestle in PPVs.

As long as he doesn't do the HBK "rise from the wheelchair" spot, I could be ok with that. But if he does it, it's got to be like Smackdown: HCTP, HBK dance and all

Somehow that recovery time doesn't add up to anything reasonable again, does it?

[Boner Kawanger]

And when I saw the topic, I was going to make a damn joke about him getting back by SummerSlam. I wish he'd just give it up.

[Enigma]

Can Tom Billington please call this guy and tell him to quit before it's too late?

[Guest Real F'n Show]

I knew it was a bad idea to have Big Show chokeslam him off that ledge...

[Dangerous A]

SD is going to be hurting bad now. GM Angle sucks and they needed In Ring Angle badly. SD has nothing to look forward to except Eddie and hopefully Cena won't bottom out. Otherwise, SD looks to be a way far inferior show.

 

Angle should retire. Play with his little girl or something. This company is not worth a wheelchair.

[Use Your Illusion]

Cena is just the same repetitious bullshit week in week out.

 

His creativity does not go outside 'dick jokes', and his main method of gaining a face pop is by mentioning the local sports team etc.

 

I'd overlook it if he was, you know, somewhat interesting in the ring.

 

But he isn't, so I won't.

 

SD! has Eddie. That's it.

So much for the Jho surgery. Although it may have not worked because of how bad Kurt's neck was in the first place or because of simply how much strain is put on it. I'm sure it would be great for him if he'd just quit wrestling after he got it, though.

 

So, the main option would be spinal fusion, which would mean no more matches for him until 2005.

[Masked Man of Mystery]

For his own sake, his should get the thing fused and retire. I imagine a few years of upper midcard-main event wrestling has given him enough cash to live comfortabley. Or, you put credibility back into RAW's announcing team by making Angle the color commentator and firing the pervert known as Jerry Lawler

That's a brilliant idea

[Guest wrestlingbs]

I thought a third surgery meant a final retirement. And I don't care if it's his first neck surgery, nobody should just return in 4 months.

[Guest Choken One]

Angle isn't really that funny. It was the situations he was in that made him funny once with austin.

 

He wrote the horrible cena angle...so thats his idea of humor...No thanks.

 

Just retire for good but if it is to be one more...make it mean something.

 

KURT ANGLE VS HBK.

 

Another match with Benoit or Eddy isn't worth it...It can ONLY be shawn.

Eh, I don't know. Kurt as GM sucks, I don't think he would be so great as color commentator (can't be much worse than King, though). Kurt's funny when he's the BUTT of the jokes, not when he's telling any.

He doesn't need to be funny, he should be what Tazz was early on, telling you how this move or that move hurt, the thought process behind the move, or whatnot.

So the color commentator should know which wrestling move is which? In WWE, thats like asking Michael Cole not to suck.

Or asking JR not to invoke football stories when a hoss is in a match

 

Seriously though, I hope Kurt retires. It would be really depressing if he tried to rush back and ended up in a wheelchair because of it.

[Lil' Bitch]

So much for the Jho surgery. Although it may have not worked because of how bad Kurt's neck was in the first place or because of simply how much strain is put on it.

 

Don't forget the botched chairshot that fucked him up the last time.

I believe it's: 2 spinal fusions = retirement.

 

Not sure what the 1st one was, but the second was the Jho procedure. If he really wanted, he could get the spinal fusion now, and then come back & wrestle when he's healed.

What company is worth breaking your neck for?

Nope. The Dr. Jho one in March 2003 was his first. His second was in November 2003, but it was relatively minor.

[notJames]

So after all the surgery, Angle, Edge and Benoit should form a stable called DeGenerated NeX.

 

Yeah, I know, old joke...

[buffybeast]

Why doesn't Angle go to Youngblood in Texas to have his neck fixed? Is he afraid to take one year + off from wrestling like the others?

[Guest duck420]

send jericho to smackdown so he and eddy can tear the house down. someone tell angle WE DONT WANT TO ACTUALLY SEE HIM DIE IN THE RING. god angle is my favorite wrestler of all time but he just needs to know when to not push it

[King Cucaracha]

He needs to swallow his pride and retire, take backstage job if offered or even an on-screen non-wrestling role. I don't want to see Angle wrestle again, even HBK/Angle, if he's risking his life and livelihood for it.

 

The guy has to think of his family.

Angle needs like two seperate fusion, like C-4 and 5 and the 7 and 8. Or something like that. Which means he's going to be done.
