       Former TNA and WWE Champion Kurt Angle spoke to WhatCulture
       recently about his upcoming UK tour, Bellator, and taking a
       break from wrestling. You can see highlights below, and the full
       interview above.
       - Angle says that he's completely healthy, and that his matches
       in January will be his last for TNA wrestling.
       - "I signed a deal with Bellator to commentate. I signed with an
       agency to do more movies. I always wanted to fight, but at 46,
       that's looking really slim," Angle said.
       - Angle mentioned he may take about a year off and come back.
       - Angle was approached by UFC in 1997, but the money wasn't
       there. He was offered a 10-fight deal for $150,000 total. He
       said he later spoke to Dana White in 2006, but they couldn't
       come up to an agreement about pro wrestling.
       - Kurt talks about his appearance with WWE in early 1999 on
       Sunday Night Heat, working with Tiger Ali Singh.
       - Angle puts over Chad Gable and Jason Jordan, and says they
       don't want to compare themselves to other guys who have done the
       amateur wrestling gimmick.
       - Kurt says he's better as a heel because he doesn't have a
       flashy babyface style, but it's hard for him to be a good guy
       now.
