Though he hasn't been a member of the WWE Universe on a full-time basis since he was released from his contract in the spring of 2020, Kurt Angle will forever be linked to the promotion he wrestled from 1998 to 2006. He's been back in The Fed on multiple occasions, including reportedly being offered a new contract to serve as don't-call-him-Matt Riddle on the main roster, recorded a video message to celebrate John Cena's 20th anniversary with the company, and has continued to talk about the promotion ever since both in interviews and on his podcast The Kurt Angle Show.
But some folks may not know that Angle wrestled for multiple promotions around the world between his two runs in WWF/E, including for TNA, NJPW, Lucha Libre AAA, and other independent promotions across the world. This time period, plus his family life, his Olympic career, and his time in The Fed were expected to be featured in a documentary about his life produced independently away from the WWE that was being shopped around for distribution.
Well, as it turns out, Angle didn't have to look very far to find a buyer, as none other than WWE swooped in to snag the rights, according to The Wrestling Observer. That's right, despite having a Kurt Angle doc already cued up for Biographies – WWE Legends on A&E, Stephanie McMahon and company have secured the rights to the documentary with some additional wrestled material expected to be added in the not-too-distant future in time for a 2023 release date set for Peacock. Considering the unique journey Angle took over his athletic career, this is going to be must-watch for wrestling fans the world over, especially Xfinity subscribers who get Peacock for free.
