Update: Backstage news on Kurt Angle's latest negotiations with WWE
As noted before, WWE wanted Kurt Angle to only work a full time deal. Word is that it was Triple H’s decision to offer Angle that deal. WWE was not interested in bringing Angle in under a part-time deal.
TNA is offering a part-time deal to Angle and he will most probably be staying with them for atleast another year. Angle also wants to focus on expanding his acting career in the next year. Angle is headed to Los Angeles soon for meetings and auditions.
