Jim Ross recently spoke with TheScore.com about Sunday’s Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg Survivor Series showdown. During the interview, JR said Goldberg is probably the last big legendary name that WWE could reach out to for a big return. “I don’t know who else is out there that hasn’t already been saddled up and ridden to the big dance,” he said.
When asked about Kurt Angle, Ross said he would certainly endorse WWE doing business with the Olympic gold medalist again.
“For him to come back for a one-off, a WrestleMania match, coinciding with a Hall of Fame induction, something along those lines – I think would be great promotion, and the fans would probably embrace that idea. He may be the last guy out there we could name that would fit the bill of the returning, conquering hero back in the fold for a one-off.”
During a recent appearance on the Steve Austin Show podcast, Angle revealed he still has plans to wrestle for WWE at least one more time. “Next year I plan on going back somewhere. I don’t know where yet, but I wanted to keep myself mentally sharp,” Angle said. “I booked my matches this year; one against Rey Mysterio, with Cody Rhodes. I have another one coming up with Alberto Del Rio, and Joe Coffey. I had a match with Zack Sabre Jr, who is in the Cruiserweight tournament. He’s a very talented kid.”
He finished, “These guys I pretty much picked, knowing I would be able to wrestle these talented kids, before I attempt to most likely come back to WWE,” so Angle is still leaving the door open for a return.
