WWE Legend Rejects The Undertaker’s Offer for One Final Match
The rivalry between The Undertaker and Kurt Angle is a memorable chapter in WWE history.
Their feud began in the early 2000s and featured several high-profile matches, most notably the World Heavyweight Championship bout at No Way Out in 2006. Their matches were known for hard-fought battles filled with drama and athleticism.
The Undertaker Asks Kurt Angle To Come Out of Retirement
Kurt Angle was a recent guest on Six Feet Under podcast. During their conversation, The Dead Man jokingly asked The Olympic Hero if he would consider coming out of retirement for one more match against him. King Kurt promptly declined, making it clear he has no plans to return to the ring.
“Are you out of your mind? I wouldn’t get in the ring with you. You would kick my a**,” said Angle.
Neither The Undertaker nor Kurt Angle Plan on Coming out of Retirement
The Phenom officially retired from wrestling on November 22, 2020, at WWE Survivor Series. He has repeatedly stated he will not return to in-ring competition, emphasizing he has achieved everything he dreamed of in wrestling. Taker reiterated this sentiment recently on his podcast during his chat with Bubba Ray Dudley.
No. I don’t think…look, the only way that I could put the hat and the coat back on is I’d have to get back in the ring. And I can’t do that because that also jeopardizes the legacy. As much as I have here [points to head] and as much as I have here [points to heart], I know that there’s not enough left in the tank to do that.
Meanwhile, Angle retired officially at WrestleMania 35 in April 2019. He has spoken candidly about his retirement, revealing he left due to physical pain and arthritic knees that made continuing wrestling impossible. Speaking on Mic Check with Mr. Anderson, Angle confirmed he has no intention of returning to active wrestling, citing health reasons and contentment with his legacy.
“I wish I could, man. I can’t. That would be very tempting, but there’s just no way possible. I have had my knees replaced; I now need to have my shoulders replaced. I had five neck surgeries, two back surgeries. My body just is really banged up. There’s really nothing I can do.”
