January is a big month for top wrestling promotions. WWE has the Royal Rumble launching the Road to WrestleMania, TNA has potentially the start of a new TV deal, and New Japan has the Tokyo Dome Show.

Where will Kurt Angle wind up? Angle said in a new interview published Monday that he is finalizing a one-year deal that will begin in January and mark the final year of his wrestling career.

"I can’t really say who I’m going with yet or what company I’m going to sign with. I am going to sign, but I’m going to just sign for one year, and that’s that. I think I’m pretty much done, I’m just going to have the best year I can have. Hopefully it’ll be my best year, then I’m going to retire," Angle told AlternativeNation.net in a new interview. Angle continues to keep his name in the public as he rehabs from knee surgery.

Angle says he will not be cleared to wrestle again until January, but a press conference is scheduled for sometime in October to announce his new deal.

"I went with the company that was going to really emphasize what I wanted, and that was a limited wrestling schedule," Angle said. "I would say no more than 40 dates a year, that’s what I wanted, that’s where I feel I am at in my career right now. That’s a lot of the reason, like I said, the company that I’m signing with is a company that really wanted to take care of me, both from a wrestling standpoint and a financial standpoint, and I’m very happy with it."

The interview concluded with Angle mentioning WWE and TNA wrestlers that he would like to wrestle before he retires, attempting not to reveal which company he plans to wrestle for in 2015.

"I would say right now the wrestlers are MVP, EC3, Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns, definitely Rusev is one of the top ones, and last but not least, I think we would probably have the greatest match of all time, and that would be Daniel Bryan," Angle said. "I would love to do a program with Jack (Swagger(, I just don’t know what they’re doing with him, and what direction they want to go with Jack. He’s talented, I just don’t know if he’s at the level that he could be."
