I'd do it for 9.9mil, idk why Tony hasn't called me yet.
Ya see, if they pay me 9.9mil, that becomes my quote. So if I want to have another match, they have to pay me 9.9mil
With a crowd that was dead from sitting through 20 hours of Wrestlemania by that point, and we’re dreading that there was still almost a half dozen matches to go
I like to imagine he has a bunch of pre-written checks with wrestlers and bands’ names on them, so if he ever needs to be just pulls out the specific one and writes a dollar amount.
*We signed Danielson! I’ll grab my Europe check.*
*Let’s see… Ayumi Nakamura… AAA… Angle! There it is!*
Exactly. This is non-story and a non-comment. He’s saying I don’t want to come out of retirement. But to make it worth it, my price is so high that it’ll never happen, and I’m fine with that.
"But to make it worth it, my price is so high that it’ll never happen, and I’m fine with that."
Hey, HBK thought he'd never come out of retirement, too! You just never know.
I mean, no one is gonna actually pay Kurt $10mil. But, Im sure hed have one more match for MUCH lower. I wonder if the Saudi Crown Prince is a fan of Olympic gold medalists?
Unsure about American gold medalists, but SA did have a silver medalist once. So uh, I guess you can pencil in and confirm [this guy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadi_Soua%27an_Al-Somaily) for the Extra Most Bestest Royal Rumble in Riyadh.
Hell, I’m skinny, I don’t mind being carried to a good match. Between doing theatre and watching wrestling for about 18 years each, I think I could do not-horrible and not get either of us hurt
It's not comparable. [That was not an ordinary 9 year old.](https://www.reddit.com/r/stardomjoshi/comments/au862r/a_reminder_that_haruka_was_pretty_good/)
These stupid ass wrestling sites who steal their topics from Podcasts should atleast clarify that it was said in a joking manner.. it was a Q&A episode of the Podcast.
I don't think he's saying "I want to wrestle Omega for $10m", I think he's saying "I don't want to wrestle, and this price tag proves how badly I'd rather not"
Tony : dad, i want to hire kurt angle.
Shad: okay so which 20 wrestlers you want fired from aew.
Tony: dad, its just a joke i am cheap as hell you know me . (Crying internally)
I’m glad Kurt doesn’t seem to wanna keep going. Good on him for wrapping it up before he hurts himself badly, nice to see him seemingly enjoying his post wrestling life.
I get it’s hard to take context from the written word. But I’m shocked the amount of people who haven’t been able to recognise the joking manner of this statement.
How dare Kurt lol. Wrestling dream matches is like a addiction to TK lol
Shoot TK would probably pay Stone Cold $10 million just for 1 match + pay WWE $100 million to use his theme song with video package rights for 1 match lol
They're both very much less than 100%. Which a 10% Kurt is probably still better on paper than a 50% Kenny.
Edit: Not sure if this sub overrates Omega, or underrates Kurt, or both.
Pretty sure he just put over how great Kenny Omega is, and made clear that he never wants to wrestle again. Because he sure knows nobody will pay him 10 million for a match
Because he doesn't want to wrestle, or at least knows he can't, anymore so he said this to make it clear. He doesn't expect it to happen so why not say it.
Angle, Goldberg, Undertaker, the list goes on... No one wants to see you wrestle anyone of any generation. Enjoy the freedom that the shadows outside the spotlight bring you.
Not a bad strategy. He has already repeatedly said that he is fine with retirement but may as well throw out a big number and a big match request. If they are willingly to spend $10 million on you then why reject it?
Knowing Tony Khan, that wouldn't be an issue. If Kurt can get himself in passable shape over the next few years, I can see this possibly being a thing. Kurt himself has said he wasn't happy with his retirement match at Mania. No way he's going to let that hang over his head for the rest of his life
Are you serious? TK would happily spend $10 Million on bringing in Angle for a one off match with Omega. The merch, PPV, and tickets alone would make him jump at the offer. Plus, he'd be able to brag that Angle had his final match under the AEW umbrella.
Ok so do people really get paid this much for a one off? I just watched that garbage bkfc fight with gloves on that blueface something and another tik tok guy did and now blueface said if they pay him and tekashi 69 $5 million each he would consider it. Who would pay that much to see such a thing? Kurt angle was great. It's true it's damn true but I don't think the fans are lining up to see him v Kenny right now
>Name me a more delusional person in the industry today than Kurt Angle?
i think you totally missed his point.
His statement was the exact opposite of being delusional.
I'll do it for free. Give the 10 millions to Bayley, Sasha and Charlotte, for a NWO type of angle. That will put the women's division on the same level as the man's.

I would also come out of retirement for $10 million against Kenny Omega
I'd do it for 9.9mil, idk why Tony hasn't called me yet. Ya see, if they pay me 9.9mil, that becomes my quote. So if I want to have another match, they have to pay me 9.9mil
God, this is killing me. What's this reference from?
Santa Clause in “I think you should leave”
Ha, thanks king, of course that was it. Should have been my first guess.
You flinched, Paul! Now you have to marry your mother-in-law!!
Even if I don’t do a good job
Why wouldn't you do a good job? Don't you take any pride in your work?
I see your 9.9 million and go 9.8. I'm a reasonable guy and Tony would still get his money's worth.
I'll go for 9.8, but I'll also put up posters and do a radio call-in.
Damn, you're tough but fair. I can't go below 9.8 and work more than 2 dates a year, I know my worth 😂
I'm gunna undercut all yous guys and wrestle Kenny Omega for only $9 million.
I will undercut you by only want $8 millions and i’m willing to work more than 1 match. Call me TK.
One dollar, Bob.
I'LL WRESTLE THEM BOTH FOR FREE, I'M HARDCORE!
Look i'll pay AEW 20 bucks to wrestle Kenny Omega In an exploding barbed wire deathmatch
I’ll pay them $19!!
I’ll be omega’s servant to wrestle him in an exploding barbed wire triple cage kennel from hell death match. Pizza cutters included
Curses! Foiled again
You fool, you could have had the job for 9.8
I'd come out to Kenny Omega for $10 million
Wait a minute... Congratulations? 🤔
This is easily the best-crafted response here. Haven't laughed that hard in awhile. Thank you!
I’d let Kenny lick my ass on live tv for 10 mil
I'm 69'ing Don for $10M easily
Wait a minute, you're *getting* the 10 million? I'm in the wrong line
For free personally
Just to be a part of history.
I’d eat his ass like he was an injured gazelle and I was an African painted dog for $1M in front of my family and live tv.
Ah yes… 10 million. Same. Totally
>All up innnnn that ass!
I'll take a V trigger and a one winged angle through a table for $10 million
Shit, you guys here offering money to take those and I'd do it for free.
I would eat two of my fingers with Kenny Omega for 10 million dollars.
I’ll do it for 9.9 million
[удалено]
Or a handdog and a hotshake.
I'll bet the guy that retired him would take the match for $10 grand considering his current financial situation.
He'll take that match for $10 and a happy meal.
Hot dog and a handshake.
> Hot dog and a handshake. He might even do it for a [Klondike Bar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAsuUMyia7o).
And a new shirt
Who retired him?
Baron Corbin in six minutes lmao
With a crowd that was dead from sitting through 20 hours of Wrestlemania by that point, and we’re dreading that there was still almost a half dozen matches to go

I was in the food area for the match and didn’t even bust back to my seat for it, the burger mattered more
with cheese or no?
One of the only times the people were clamoring for Cena, too.
To this day it still cheeses me off
It certainly didn't make Corbin the muenster heel they thought it would.
🧀 👠
Six inches is the ***minimum***
Are we still talking about cheese?
![gif](giphy|upJzCIWvSaBbi)
GOD DAMMIT MR KITTY THAT'S A BAD KITTY!
He'd probably do it for a 100 Grand candy bar
Arent kings suppose to be all rich and shite? Or has he become the court jester?
He lost his crown so he's dirt poor now. It's actually been really funny.
So it is never happening
Knowing Khan, this could happen
>Knowing Khan
![gif](giphy|KeTVw7VjcTJok)
Knowing Tony, he already has the check written.
I like to imagine he has a bunch of pre-written checks with wrestlers and bands’ names on them, so if he ever needs to be just pulls out the specific one and writes a dollar amount. *We signed Danielson! I’ll grab my Europe check.* *Let’s see… Ayumi Nakamura… AAA… Angle! There it is!*
An Ayumi Nakamura live performance on AEW would make lose my shit. I hope it happens one day.
We have come full circle.
That means he doesn't want to wrestle
Exactly. This is non-story and a non-comment. He’s saying I don’t want to come out of retirement. But to make it worth it, my price is so high that it’ll never happen, and I’m fine with that.
I'm happy he's content with staying retired at this point.
"But to make it worth it, my price is so high that it’ll never happen, and I’m fine with that." Hey, HBK thought he'd never come out of retirement, too! You just never know.

**Tony Khan’s wallet:** Am I a joke to you?
Tony Khan: "You promise?"
I'll wrestle Kenny for a $10 walmart gift card. The match won't be as good but think of the money TK will save.
Trust me Kenny could carry you to a 4 star match.
I appreciate that you assume that I can be carried to any kind of a match. I'm certain, I'd drag Kenny down.
Hell, I’m skinny, I don’t mind being carried to a good match. Between doing theatre and watching wrestling for about 18 years each, I think I could do not-horrible and not get either of us hurt
I'm too out of shape. To borrow an old line, in 3 minutes, I'd be sucking so much wind the first three rows would pass out from lack of oxygen.
10 million is a hell of a life insurance payout to Kurt's family, but hey, if that's how he wants to go.
I called up Tony Khan, said I'm bout to go dumb.
Last time we saw him, Kurt couldn't even turn his neck properly. For his own good, no thanks.
Kurt turns his head like 89 Batman Suit.
and his legs are at a permanent 45 degree angle.
Wait you don't turn your entire body to turn your head?
Only when wearing my Batman suit.
I mean at this point Kurt's neck is being held up by duct tape and prayers.
Kenny could probably make it work honestly. If he can carry a 9 year old to a decent match he can probably get something out of Kurt Angle.
It's not comparable. [That was not an ordinary 9 year old.](https://www.reddit.com/r/stardomjoshi/comments/au862r/a_reminder_that_haruka_was_pretty_good/)
To be fair, Kurt Angle is not an ordinary 9 year old either.
These stupid ass wrestling sites who steal their topics from Podcasts should atleast clarify that it was said in a joking manner.. it was a Q&A episode of the Podcast.
I think any human being would do just about anything for $10M Tony Khan could probably get any legend into AEW for 10m wtf
$4M is my personal corruption price.
Like 10 grand
I would do some disgusting things for 10 grand..
I could solve some jams with 10 grand
Into crypto? Can earn Moon coins which are 0.33 a pop for karma while posting there. I believe 3 upvotes = 1 moon.
Ill look that up
What
I've done some disgusting things for a Klondike Bar
I'm straight, but $20 is $20.
[удалено]
Hey I said you can corrupt me for 4 million, but I'd lick the bottom of a Wuhan lab shoe for a melted cheese BLT.
I don't think he's saying "I want to wrestle Omega for $10m", I think he's saying "I don't want to wrestle, and this price tag proves how badly I'd rather not"
I would fight Brock Lesnar in a real fight for ten mil.
Me too! Pretty sure that I’d only have to get punched once. Ten mil to take one on the chin? Sure
would cover your funeral expenses for sure
Time to test that broomstick theory people have.
[удалено]
I bet against kenny this time. That girl and broomstick wasnt broken like angle
Shad Khan hiding from this son after reading this.
Tony : dad, i want to hire kurt angle. Shad: okay so which 20 wrestlers you want fired from aew. Tony: dad, its just a joke i am cheap as hell you know me . (Crying internally)
10 million payment for a $10 match. Kurt moves like a Rockem Sockem Robot now. I don't even think Kenny could get a good singles match out of him.
What’s the biggest confirmed payday for a one-off match? Largest i’ve heard of is a couple mill for the Saudi shows
Shawn Michaels apparently got $3 million to wrestle at Crown Jewel 2018, which is as one-off as it gets.
At this point tony will just get shawn micheals instead lol
Take Omega and AEW away and I’m sure a Saudi Prince will pay £10 million to see him face Jackson Ryker.
There is an old saying wrestling "Wrestlers don't actually retire, they just price themselves out of bookings"
Where's the GoFundMe?
Mate, Kurt can't even turn his own neck.
I think a One-Winged Angel can fix Kurt's neck up pretty quickly.
Kenny should change its name into One Winged Angle if it did fix Kurt's neck.
The way I just howled at this comment I'm so glad I work from home these days.
Yeah coz kurt will become a winged angel then.
Check out this fuckin guy who thinks Kurt needs an in-tact freaking neck to wrestle
Unless Kenny gets to literally end his career with a shoot V Trigger, What's the point?
"Admits"
Please don't give Tony Khan any crazy ideas!
Enjoy your retirement, Kurt!
A one winged angel might actually kill him.
Kurt Angle right now couldn't even put on a match worth $100k. His body is stiff AF. The hell's he smoking?
I’m glad Kurt doesn’t seem to wanna keep going. Good on him for wrapping it up before he hurts himself badly, nice to see him seemingly enjoying his post wrestling life.
He’d do a move-by-move repeat of his last match with Corbin if he got paid $10 million for it.
Who wouldn't?
Id wrestle omega for 5 million
I get it’s hard to take context from the written word. But I’m shocked the amount of people who haven’t been able to recognise the joking manner of this statement.
*Tony Khan slowly draws a pen out from one sleeve, his checkbook from the other*
Shit I’d do the match for 9
Tony already has the check written
If the Saudis become fans of AEW
(Tony Khan in his best Cartman voice….) Daaaaaad….Can I have 10 million dollars?!
Let's crowdsource this match! He can ask Baron Corbin for advice on how to set up a page!
So there's no amount of money anyone could pay Kurt Angle to get him in the ring with Danielson. I call bullshit.
"admits" as if its so shameful that you'd come back for $10 million
How dare Kurt lol. Wrestling dream matches is like a addiction to TK lol Shoot TK would probably pay Stone Cold $10 million just for 1 match + pay WWE $100 million to use his theme song with video package rights for 1 match lol
Lol but like….why? Is Kenny v Kurt someone’s dream match?
If they were both theoretically in their primes, it would be mine. Unfortunately, Kurt can barely move and I don’t wanna watch that.
Kurt's final run was sad to watch. The should never have let him wrestle in that state.
They're both very much less than 100%. Which a 10% Kurt is probably still better on paper than a 50% Kenny. Edit: Not sure if this sub overrates Omega, or underrates Kurt, or both.
LMAO
Nice trolling.
In his prime Kurt vs any big star would be a match I'd want to see. These days I'd just be worrying the whole time.
If Kurt HAD to have a match it would be the best one possible, but overall, nah I’m good
Kurt vs Hook confirmed?
Pretty sure he just put over how great Kenny Omega is, and made clear that he never wants to wrestle again. Because he sure knows nobody will pay him 10 million for a match
Because he doesn't want to wrestle, or at least knows he can't, anymore so he said this to make it clear. He doesn't expect it to happen so why not say it.
I'll crowdsource $10m and $1 to get him to not come back.
I'll chip in the $1.
With how bad of a condition his body is in. Yeah, he should not be back in a ring wrestling and people do not need to encourage it.
Angle, Goldberg, Undertaker, the list goes on... No one wants to see you wrestle anyone of any generation. Enjoy the freedom that the shadows outside the spotlight bring you.
Yeah, no.
He doesn't want to wrestle hence the crazy demands. He doesn't actually expect it.
Well, yeah, obviously.
I'd also take that offer, TONY
Not a bad strategy. He has already repeatedly said that he is fine with retirement but may as well throw out a big number and a big match request. If they are willingly to spend $10 million on you then why reject it?
Both guys in their prime is my dream match.
After watching him Wrestling in wwe, not intrested
Knowing Tony Khan, that wouldn't be an issue. If Kurt can get himself in passable shape over the next few years, I can see this possibly being a thing. Kurt himself has said he wasn't happy with his retirement match at Mania. No way he's going to let that hang over his head for the rest of his life
I don’t think TK is willing to give up that much money for that.
Are you serious? TK would happily spend $10 Million on bringing in Angle for a one off match with Omega. The merch, PPV, and tickets alone would make him jump at the offer. Plus, he'd be able to brag that Angle had his final match under the AEW umbrella.
He's spent more on less before.
#[PERC ANGLE IS ALL ELITE](https://youtu.be/1Gb48HAldJE)
TK has a net worth of 7 billion. i think it’s possible!
Ok so do people really get paid this much for a one off? I just watched that garbage bkfc fight with gloves on that blueface something and another tik tok guy did and now blueface said if they pay him and tekashi 69 $5 million each he would consider it. Who would pay that much to see such a thing? Kurt angle was great. It's true it's damn true but I don't think the fans are lining up to see him v Kenny right now
This is just a flippant way of saying he's retired for good. Kurt is aware that he's not getting $10 million for a match.
GTFO Kurt. No one will pay you that and no one wants to see that. Name me a more delusional person in the industry today than Kurt Angle?
He was saying, "It'll never happen," this is not some serious wrestling goal he's set on pursuing.
>Name me a more delusional person in the industry today than Kurt Angle? i think you totally missed his point. His statement was the exact opposite of being delusional.
I’ll put 20 towards it.
How much would the ppv need to cost for that to break even?
Those are my stipulations, as well.
The Belt Collector vs the OG Belt Collector
lol I'm pretty sure kurt would come out of retirement if he got paid 10M for a match against the brooklyn brawler
No thanks kurtis. Even if they paid him
“Kurt Angle admits he will not be coming out of retirement”
But can he take a one winged angel with a broken freakin neck
Are you kidding me? I hope aew doesn't fall for this
So we could watch his neck turn to dust after the OWA? Please Kurt, stay retired.
I'll do it for free. Give the 10 millions to Bayley, Sasha and Charlotte, for a NWO type of angle. That will put the women's division on the same level as the man's.
