A WWE Hall of Famer has revealed their asking price for a deal with All Elite Wrestling.
Kurt Angle is an Olympic Gold Medalist, multi-time world champion across various promotions and considered by many to be one of the all-time greats inside the ring.
Angle retired from in-ring competition in 2019 following his retirement match against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35.
In the past, the WWE Hall of Famer has mentioned that he has turned down offers from AEW with the proposed deals being a 10-match agreement.
Speaking on the latest edition of 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.
When asked if he would ever return to the ring again, Angle said:
“Well, to even consider coming back, it’s going to have to be a substantial amount of money. 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 following this before being interrupted by his wife Giovanna who said he will never wrestle again.
It should be noted that Kurt Angle underwent double knee replacement surgery in May, so the likelihood of him wrestling anytime soon seems unlikely.
