In a recent episode of The Kurt Angle Show, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle revealed that WWE superstar Brock Lesnar contacted him regarding a potential run with TNA Wrestling back in 2007.

“Brock calls me, he’s not in WWE and he says listen man, can you get me in TNA. I probably shouldn’t even be saying this, but you know what, Brock doesn’t care, so he said hey, what are you making and I told him what I was making and he said that if you can get me that, I’ll come.

I approached TNA and they said no, we’re not going to give him that kind of money. It was amazing, because I think that TNA at the time, I think they were at the top of their budget, where they couldn’t really give any more money out. I was making a lot of money, Sting was making a good bit of money, and then you had a bunch of guys on the roster.

TNA, the Carter Family funded it for a long time, and then TNA started making their own money, but it just wasn’t enough to bring in another guy for seven figures a year, I don’t think they were capable of doing that.”
