PWInsider reported over the weekend that WWE was in negotiations with Kurt Angle and had offered him a full-time deal, but that Angle turned the deal down feeling his body wouldn’t hold up to a full-time schedule.

Dave Meltzer talked about the Angle/WWE situation on the Wrestling Observer Radio Show today, saying he thinks the report that WWE offered Angle a full-time deal is bogus. The only situation in which Meltzer thinks WWE would have offered Angle a full-time deal is as a polite way of rejecting him since they would know Angle can’t work a full-time schedule and would say no to the deal.

In the past, Vince McMahon has not been interested in having Angle wrestle again in WWE due to his health issues. Meltzer added that the only scenario he sees Angle returning to WWE is as part of a shorter farewell run if he passes the Wellness Test and other physical tests.
