Kurt Angle Regrets Not Being More Passionate About WWE Producer Role

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has accomplished a lot during his time in WWE, having a remarkable rookie year and going on to become a legend in the business. He used to work as a producer a few years ago but got released in the end. Now Angle regrets not being more passionate about the role.

Angle worked as a producer in WWE but he was released back in April 2020, in what was the company’s biggest mass exodus so far. Angle wasn’t able to work as a producer for too long and fans were shocked he was let go.

While speaking on his Kurt Angle Show podcast, Kurt Angle reflected on his time as a producer in the company. Angle admitted that he regrets not being more passionate about the role and taking it seriously.

“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.”
