WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle hopes that WWE’s current working relationship with TNA will eventually lead to WWE purchasing TNA’s extensive tape library. Angle, who had a legendary run in TNA after leaving WWE, wants his work from that era to be seen by more WWE fans.
During a recent interview with Podstarz, Angle reflected on his time in TNA and the company’s current collaboration with WWE.
“When I was wrestling for TNA, I was like, ‘You know what? A lot of WWE fans haven’t seen my work in TNA. I wish WWE would have a relationship with TNA, and possibly buy the library so that WWE fans can see my TNA matches,’” Angle said. “It looks like that’s eventually going to happen.”
Angle believes WWE is open to working with TNA now because the company is no longer a direct threat, unlike in the past when stars like Hulk Hogan and Sting were on the TNA roster.
“Back when we were going head-to-head with WWE, we were doing 2 million viewers a week,” he recalled. “I think that’s the reason why WWE opened their arms and said, ‘Come on in. We’ll collaborate with you,’ and I’m just glad it happened eventually. I hope that WWE buys the TNA library.”
