Kurt Angle Says He Was Just 'Killing Time' During His WWE Producer Stint

Kurt Angle spoke recently on his podcast - the Kurt Angle Show - about his time in WWE as a producer, following his retirement match against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35. 

Following his last bout, Angle worked in the role until the following April, where he was released due to budget cuts as a result of the global pandemic. 

Angle explained: 

"Yes, [Mark Carano] called me. 'Hey, we're going to let you go.' Actually, I wasn't that into my job. I was a producer. I was killing time. I knew that if they were going to do cuts, I would be the first one let go because they were paying me a lot of money, more money than other producers. I knew that if they were going to do cuts and they were going to let go of someone, I'd be the first. I didn't put much into it, I really didn't. I should have been a lot more passionate about it. [...] I'd rather wrestle, but that wasn't going to happen."
