To promote tomorrow's TNA house show in Florence, S.C., Kurt Angle told the Morning News that TNA has much more talent than WWE does.

"We’ve got much more talented wrestlers. Since I’ve been here, it’s probably progressed 200 percent," he said. "It’s not me, though. The folks who started TNA have really built it up. WWE still makes over $100 million a year, but eventually we’ll get there. Now they have a real competitor."

Angle also detailed his approach to when to wrestle at his age and with his history of health problems. "I have to save myself," he said. "I don’t wrestle every three or four months like I used to.

"At TNA, I wrestle 52 weeks a year. When I wrestle, I don’t wrestle for six or eight minutes. I wrestle for 20 to 30 minutes. In pro wrestling, the bumps you take make it so demanding on your body. I’ve got to be very careful how I train."

Angle was also asked about competing in MMA. He said his first priority is to TNA, and he's afraid of the dangers in MMA.

"In mixed martial arts, the danger is always there. If he puts me in a submission hold and I’m too proud to tap out and he snaps my arm, I’m out for a year or two," Angle said. "If I were to do it, the money would have to be unbelieveable because if I get injured and I’m out, I need to provide for my family. If the money I get in mixed martial arts does not exceed the money I make in TNA, it’s not worth it."
