Kurt Angle to face Rey Mysterio on iPPV

– Kurt Angle might have retired from TNA Wrestling but the former champ is not hanging up his boots…yet. A promotion called UR Fight is pushing an event for March 20 which will air on iPPV from The Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, featuring Kurt Angle taking on Rey Mysterio. The match is part of a quadruple main event that will also see Ken Shamrock vs Dan Severn in an MMA fight, Michael Lisping vs Chael Sonnen in a grappling match and Roy Jones Jr vs a fan in a boxing match. Kurt Angle is promoting the event on his Twitter while there’s no mention of it from Mysterio yet although he did tape a promo for their website at URshow.tv. The two have not wrestled each other since their WWE days.
