Styles talking to WWE?:

He can do it:

Bobby Lashley says he thinks Kurt Angle can make the move to MMA...

"I think he can, absolutely. It's all about matchups. Kimbo jumped back into it. Not like he was going to fight Vitaly Minakov right away. Ken Shamrock did it. I know Kurt has bumps and bruises, but Kurt's Kurt. I've seen Kurt do some crazy things. People say he's all broken up, but people were saying that before I wrestled him, and we went thirty minutes, and I wouldn't have known Kurt had any type of injury. Kurt's a machine. He puts on a thing like he's a little injured, but Kurt can go. Kurt got me into the business, so I have nothing but good things to share about Kurt."
