In the past, Kurt Angle has mentioned that he is turned down offers from AEW and WWE. The proposed AEW deal was for a 10-match agreement. Now, Kurt Angle has revealed how much he wanted to be paid for those 10 matches.

Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, the Olympic gold medalist revealed that he wanted to be paid $300,000 per match, for a total of $3 million dollars to become All Elite.

"Well, to even consider coming back, it's going to have to be a substantial amount of money," said Kurt when asked if he would ever wrestle again. "I do remember, Tony Khan wanted me to come in and wrestle for him. This was like 4 years ago, and I said, 'For 10 matches, I want $3 million."

Angle laughed and was then interrupted by his wife, Giovanna who said he will never wrestle again. when questioned whether or not she be comfortable letting Kurt wrestle for three million dollars, she joked that she would get into a ring for that amount of money.

Professional wrestling career

World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (2001, 2004)

Karen was never involved in a storyline of World Wrestling Entertainment while her then-husband Kurt Angle was under contract. She herself was never under contract, but did briefly appear at Unforgiven 2001 as a part of the big celebration with the Angle family following Kurt Angle's victory over Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWF Championship. She also made an appearance on the WrestleMania XX DVD set in a bonus segment regarding Kurt Angle.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2007–2008)

Karen Angle was introduced in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) in the summer of 2007 when Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle were feuding for an all-at-once Triple Crown Championship (Kurt held the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and Joe held the TNA X Division and TNA World Tag Team Championship). Karen was supposedly wanting to divorce Kurt, claiming that he was emotionally abusive toward both her and their children.

Angle, who also won an Olympic gold, is regarded as one of the greatest superstars to grace the WWE ring. He became the world champion on five occasions and was inducted in WWE's Hall of Fame for his rich legacy. However, the slams and hits he took in the ring have now started to show it's effect as revealed by the former wrestler on his podcast The Kurt Angle Show.

"I would say I probably had four concussions that I know of major. One was a slight concussion that wasn't too bad. The other three were pretty bad. But, you know, even to this day, I'm starting to not remember things, you know, and I'm only in my early 50s. But, I've gotten a little damage to my brain, there's no doubt about it. You know, my memory is not that great anymore. I really have to think hard about remembering the past," said the former WWE champion.

Angle retired from in-ring competitions after going down against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35. Since then he has been seen making sporadic appearances in pro-wrestling brands like WWE and IMPACT Wrestling.

Angle made a recent appearance at WWE Raw, where he interacted with his former colleague Edge. The duo tried to recrate their classic scene from 2002, which involved Edge passing Angle a series of photos, with brutal slams written on the back.

The exchange between the two then was the inspiration behind Angle's iconic chant ‘You Suck’.

However, this time the Rated R superstar was slightly nicer with the jokes as he presented Angle a series of photos featuring the two sharing some great moments in the ring.
