Thanks to TMZ for sending this in:
WWE Hall of Fame inductee Kurt Angle says he ain't ruling out a return to wrestling
-- but he's adamant the rumors of a surprise appearance at this weekend's Royal
Rumble are simply not true.
Angle recently pulled out of a Jan 28 wrestling event in Scotland -- the same
weekend as the Rumble -- and some people thought it was a clue that Angle was
clearing the deck for a Royal surprise.
But TMZ Sports spoke with the former WWE World Heavyweight champ who put it
bluntly -- "Royal Rumble is not gonna happen."
"A lot of people are assuming it, a lot of writers are writing about it ... I
haven't talked to WWE about anything after WWE Hall of Fame."
Angle is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in March -- and says he's
excited about his future with Vince McMahon's company ... which could definitely
involve a return to action.
There's more ... Angle also thinks Hulk Hogan could get a 2nd chance with the WWE --
soooo, old-school rematch???
