While Kurt Angle might be famous for his stint in WWE, people forget that TNA was where he wrestled some of his best matches. The Hall Of Famer’s run in TNA outlasted his WWE one. In TNA, he’s had quite a few dream matches with legends such as Sting and AJ Styles.

Kurt Angle took to his Instagram to recall that legendary 27-minute match he wrestled back in 2009 at Sacrifice.

Kurt Angle faced Jeff Jarrett, Mick Foley (C), and Sting for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in the main event. Wrestling fans have called this match ‘one of the best’ in TNA’s history.

The Olympic Gold Medalist posted a picture of a particular moment that took place during the match. It was when he put both Sting and Jeff Jarrett in a double ankle lock.

In the end, Sting picked up the win and became the leader of a popular faction called Main Event Mafia.

Be it his social media or podcast, Angle seems to be nostalgic about his time at TNA. Is there one more return to wrestling left in Angle? Only time will tell.

“I got to relive my past, you know, doing the milk segment with two half-gallons of milk and throwing them back and the cowboy hat. Also, singing S*xy Kurt.”
