About fucking time we saw Angle back with the WWE in some capacity. He deserves the HOF nod and will probably headline this year. I don't know if he'll wrestle but there's no chance he's not showing up on Raw soon and I really can't wait to see him.

OOOOOOOOH SHIIIIIT

ITS REAL. ITS DAMN REAL

[Everlong]

YESSSS

I CANT WAIT FOR THE MUSIC IM GONNA MARK SO HARD

[Viazon]

Definitely deserves it. This is great news.

[AkydefGoldberg]

I think Angle is no longer with TNA hence this announcement but well deserved. He was an incredible performer over his seven years and it was a shame his run ended, for whatever reason or which side you believe.

It'd be good if he didn't appear on WWE TV until the HOF ceremony just to have that moment in front of the audience.

[Hanley!]

This is cool to see. I wasn't expecting it quite this soon, but it did seem to be on its way. It'll be nice to see Angle back in the mix, even if he doesn't do much. I'm just happy they can reference him more and use clips and matches of his in their shows more often now.

I'm curious to see if they let him do anything in the ring. I'd guess that they're going to limit him to the Hall of Fame and maybe some speaking segments on Raw. Maybe they'll let him put an Ankle Lock on someone at some point. To be honest, I don't really need to see him wrestling at this point anyway, though I wouldn't be opposed to a once off match with a younger talent.

Mostly, I'm just excited about the Hall of Fame itself this year. I didn't bother watching it last year, but it seems like we might have a really fun, interesting group this year. Angle, DDP, Rick Rude, Regal and Christian ... that's definitely a show I'd be checking out.

Kurt Angle, Christian, DDP and William Regal? Did WWE read my Hall of fame wish list. Angle is by far the most deserving guy left out there. Yes, even more than Goldberg. He was the most naturally talented in-ring performer ever. Still can't believe he could have started in ECW, had it not been for the Raven cross angle.

Surely this means a Royal Rumble appearance? I'll mark the fuck out.

When Angle's music hits it'll make me as stiff as his neck.

[Messiah]

Fucking awesome. Angle is one of my five favorite wrestlers ever. Definitely looking forward to his speech and his return to the company, regardless of what he does.

If he's in the Rumble he needs a staredown with Brock. Brock clears the ring, the clock counts down, Angle's music hits. Who wouldn't mark out for that?

[KaiserGlider]

Walking into the Hall of Fame to thunderous "YOU SUCK" chants is going to be an epic moment.

I don't think the plan is for him to be wrestling any time soon, if he was why put him in the Hall of Fame right away? Though once they see the reaction he gets, it's going to be hard not to capitalize on the "one more match" thing, like Goldberg.

[AkydefGoldberg]

But surely he's not in great physical health to be wrestling? One side of the story of his depature in 2006 was that he was struggling and hooked on painkillers and I can't imagine Angle will stop at one match if he was to compete again so it's potentially leading to another chasm between the two parties. Enjoy the moment of Angle being in the HOF to pay full dues for what was an outstanding career.

I'm so happy about this it's not even funny. FINALLY! Angle deserves this without a doubt.
