Despite him pushing to get back in the ring, Kurt Angle was pulled from last night’s ECW show. The plan was to put him in an easy squash match, but after being examined before the show there was no way they would let him in the ring. They told him that they would not allow him in the ring to put pressure on his groin injury and possibly worsen it.
Angle was pushing that he still wanted to be on TV and still wanted to work, which rubbed some people the wrong way. Angle has been doing a lot of things to push himself on TV over everyone else, which is definitely getting him some heat. Some feel that he is only out for himself right now, while others are trying to build the new ECW brand before building themselves.
However, some people do sympathize with Angle’s situation. They argue that Angle, who never wants to admit that he is hurting, is just looking out for himself and making sure that he can make the most of his career while it lasts. Angle has always gone with whatever the writers threw at him, such as the old Steve Austin/cowboy hat storylines, and now he is possibly trying to take one last serious shot at being on top.
The feeling within WWE is that Angle’s years of putting off major surgery and working through serious injuries are definitely going to shorten his career, and nobody really knows how much more time in the ring he has left.
Angle’s desire to wrestle with injuries and not know when to slow down doesn’t only have people worried for him, but also for those who step into the ring with him.

I completely understand where Angle is coming from. He has so much love and passion for the wrestling business that he doesn't want to retire yet, yet with so many injuries he is afraid that he'll be pulled off the road completely if he admits that he's in pain therefore he denies that that is anything wrong with him.
I think it's obvious now that Angle's time left in WWE or wrestling as a whole is soon coming to an end. His neck is always giving problems and currently he is suffering from a serious groin injury and i think he realises that, that's why he is putting himself first and trying to make one last go at the top before he'll have no choice but to retire. I am dreading that day when he does retire, because the WWE wouldn't be the same without him. He has accomplished so much and is one of the greatest techincal wrestlers of all time. I have so much respect and admiration for Angle, showing how tough and how much desire and passion he has for the business by still wrestling on a daily basis with nagging injuries and also personal problems. He is definitely a idol of mine!!
