Frank Trigg, who competed in TNA as a second to Kurt Angle, did an interview with The People's Defender out of Ohio and explained why Angle will probably not try to enter mixed martial arts.

"I think he realized that coming in with the way the organizations are right now, he isn't going to get the pay day he would need right now as a fighter... He is making some serious money right now with TNA. He would have to fight 4-5 times a year in MMA to make that kind of money. It's not really worth it to him."

Trigg also went on to compare Angle to Michael Jordan. Most notably, he praised professional wrestlers for their athleticism, something rarely done by MMA fighters, and even said professional wrestling was just as tough as MMA.

It's a great read and I highly recommend it. Click here to read the full interview.

Twill's Two Cents: Angle is a world class athlete but age and injuries have taken their toll. It is also very difficult to pick up a new sport at his age, but if anyone could do it, it would be him. I wish he would just say one way or the other whether or not he is seriously interested in pursuing this.
