His podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, the WWE Hall of Fame member explained why he never got to do it. I just never thought about it. You know, John Cena did it.

Their careers,” he continued. I didn’t start (having merchandising ideas) until about my fifth year in business. Then I was like, ‘Okay, I’ve got to start.
