Professional wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle who is a former six times world champion in WWE and a former 6 times TNA world heavyweight champion recently talked about the departure of someone from WWE and said that he hoped that he kept on wrestling after his WWE departure.
Samoa Joe has been released from WWE recently and before getting released he was out with an injury. He was the last NXT champion before the rebranding of the promotion. He had to vacate the Championship because of the injury and the title was later won by Tommaso Ciampa.
Kurt Angle Hopes To See Samoa Joe Keep On Wrestling
The fun part is Samoa Joe has been released from WWE twice last year. At first he was released back in April during the covid-19 pandemic releases. But Triple H was quite unhappy with his release so he brought him back. He came back with a bang and defeated Karrion Kross to win the WWE NXT Championship for the third time in his career.
He could not carry the Championship on his shoulders for long since he had to get the Championship after NXT became NXT 2.0. He never appeared in WWE stage after that and after a number of months it was reported that he has been released from WWE again.
It was quite obvious that Vince McMahon would not let Joe stay in WWE for long since he was a product of Triple H. For some reason Vince McMahon if trying to erase all the contributions of Triple H from the promotion. One of the biggest reason behind this mass releases is the mentioned reason.
There have been no reports if Joe would continue working with any other professional wrestling promotion or not. He is only 42 and it is very much possible that he would not quit wrestling. There are rumours of him going back to Impact Wrestling where he was created all along. He might be heading to AEW as well.
Kurt Angle who is a former six times world champion in WWE and a former 6 times TNA world heavyweight champion recently spoke on his Kurt Angle Show where he talked about the departure of someone from WWE and said that he hoped that he kept on wrestling after his WWE departure. He said;
“I believe we haven’t seen the last of him. I think he has more time left, I think he has more in the tank and he’s gonna produce for the fans.
“Well, he has incredible knowledge and he is one of the most articulate individuals I’ve ever known. Joe can cut a promo like nobody else.
“His in-ring skills are incredible and what he has as far as athleticism, he has a lot to teach the young talent. I think that he would be an incredible teacher. I hope he continues to be one.”
