In an interview Kurt Angle stated that he left WWE because of the overwhelming travel schedule, little time for injury recovery between shows, and he didn't have any competition left in the business.
On leaving WWE and getting off a full-time schedule:
"I chose to quit WWE. Vince McMahon wanted me to go full time, and we were butting heads. I felt I put in enough time and all the effort I could to wrestle 250 or 300 days per year, and I felt like I couldn't do that any longer. Vince, on the other hand, with the amount of money (I was the highest paid individual last year) said I should go full-time. He needed me for all the house shows, TV -- everything."
On his jump to TNA and a smaller schedule:
"I just did not have enough in me to continue to go 300 days per year. I felt it would have gotten to the point where I would have gotten exhausted, and I probably wouldn't be alive today. I decided to go with TNA, and they monitor me with doctors and keep me in 10 or less matches per month. So, they are keeping me alive and well and Wrestling, and I appreciate that."
On how grueling a wrestling schedule can be:
"There is no sport more brutal. It is a year-round sport, and not even MMA is like that. Heck, those guys fight two or three times per year, and they get their downtime. There is nothing more grueling, and it comes to a point, for me it took six and a half years before I said, 'Okay, I'm done.' I felt like I wanted to be a part of a program where someone actually cared about my health."

In late August, 2006, Kurt Angle was granted an early release from his WWE contract because of health reasons, he had bad neck problems and all round was suffering with the strain of WWE's heavy schedule, McMahon encouraged his release as he knew Angle couldn't wrestle well without further medication. In his DVD he said that he asked for release from WWE because he couldn't take time off due to WWE's busy schedule and he was put under stain and hurt from wresting, severely on some occasions; he also states that he was at the very top of the payroll in WWE. Angle loves wrestling and it's his life, so to pursuit his career in wrestling the only option was to sign a contract with TNA, in which they happily accepted. With TNA's lighter schedule, Angle was able to wrestle and to take time off to heal his injuries. It was revealed that Angle hoped at wrestling at the London 2012 Olympics later this year however his bid was defeated due to his hamstring injury.
