As per some wrestling news sites, Kurt Angle was offered a Legends contract but couldn't get a deal done.
Kurt Angle on what offers he received from WWE but turned down: "Managing Matt Riddle - that was a few months ago. They offered me another job coaching. They also offered me a Legends deal. We weren't able to get a contract done, but I'm cool with WWE. We're in good terms."
This doesn't spell well for future Mattel releases. I know there are a few members here that wanted some other attires made so hopefully he isn't absent from the line for long.

Yeah he doesn’t have a deal at the moment which is unfortunate. I’ve been underwhelmed with the figures we’ve gotten for him so far. The EG wasn’t that great and we got wayyyy to many contemporary Kurt figures. So many attires we missed out on. I hope he gets a legends deal soon.

So glad we got Shield and Jorts Angle. Clearly the pinnacle of Kurt Angle career moments that the fans wanted...  |

The ruthless aggression kurt angle with the Team Angle jacket was the only one I wanted and got.

Once again, Mattel misses the boat on a big name talent. Admittedly, they did get out his '99, '03, '17 and '19 looks out in Elite form, as well as his '01, '02 and '04 looks in the Basic line - but an ECW '06 Angle is a glaring omission. An Armageddon '00 Elite would've been awesome too.

He has so many great attires and instead we got some weird choices for figures. I only have one Angle Elite in my collection. It would have been great to add more good ones.

My biggest Angle want would have been his classic blue singlet with the flag across the front. That was his iconic look when I first became a fan of his.
Thankfully, I got it, so I'm good. Closest I came to buying a second was his Mania 35 gear, but I decided I didn't need it that badly.

Not much to add forreal: Mattel knocked 03 Team Angle Kurt out the park. One of my favorites from them

Mattel gave Kurt some bad figures imo. So many better ones they could have done

Mattel has this business mindset of, "We don't want to blow our loads early and release the most iconic stuff FIRST," which I get...but it's backfired so much now...The Dudleyz spring to mind, arguably Matt Hardy (we never got the red and black broken look or 2001 Matt), Angle, Van Dam, Hollywood Hogan (at the time), and I'm sure I'm forgetting more...

I love Mattel and all. they have made some great figures over the years but I feel like we miss out on attires and Some basics that should have been elite and idk what they were thinking with the shield angle cool moment and all but not worth being an elite

I would have bought the following Kurt figures in elite form
200/01 red/black attires like Unforgiven 01
Armageddon 2002 Kurt: fantastic attire
2006 wrestling machine Kurt
But I'm glad for what we did get.

That sucks... How did Mattel manage to not even get ONE 2006 Angle out?
But hey, at least we got our Shield Kurt Angle! Glad they were able to make Angle's most important & iconic look ever!
