Five years in a row? Hell, wasn't 92 the year where he and Heenan did the greatest commentary ever on the rumble?

It's drat good. Hornswoggle is really articulate and has a dry sense of humor, plus he reveals that he used to ride with Khali and Mark Henry.

I may have misheard or misunderstood, but in the short Kurt Angle show today when asked about retirement did he say "I have another 2 years left at TNA and then a retirement year"?

Ok I checked that was close enough. Is there any chance of him retiring in WWE? Has he expressed interest in going back for one more run? Would they want him? Grasping at straws here but it seems like an odd way to word that.

They would want him clean and sober also it is Angle he is full of poo poo.

If he wasn't under contract, and was doing a retirement tour, I'll bet they'd bring him in for a night just to lose to Dolph Ziggler or someone as a mystery guest. Couldn't see them hiring him for an extended run, but for a night, sure what the hell.

Pretty sure it was in the Observer a while back that Creative had been asked to pitch ideas for Kurt then told to forget it, so it's certainly not outside possibility. (I may be getting confused with Flair though).

I don't know what year it was, but it was definitely in that five-year span, where Monsoon and Randy Savage were doing commentary for RAW. It was disappointingly bad.

Yeah I think if he ever got involved with the WWE it would either be a surprise RR entrant, getting into the HOF, and maybe a Wrestlemania program to end his career.

I don't usually listen to the granny segments but I was glad I did this week. her finding a Raw episode from last year instead of this week's Main Event and also looking up "WWE wrestlers that died" were both too good. also the contest was great, that kid was freakin' adorable.
