Kurt Angle speaks on successful neck surgery and his return to the ring

• Angle waiting to see how everything heals
  Kurt Angle isn’t quite ready to announce his return date yet, although he says he’s feeling much better since having surgery on April 11.
  
  Instead of having spinal fusion – the way seven other WWE Superstars have – which would have forced him to miss one year, Angle elected to have a less invasive procedure, performed by Dr. Hae-Dong Jho in Angle’s hometown of Pittsburgh.
  
  “I’m really happy with the surgery,” Angle said.
  
  He was feeling good enough, in fact, that he attended Tuesday’s SmackDown! taping (he did not appear on the show). But he said he’s been feeling a tingling sensation in his left arm.
  
  “That could be due to swelling in my neck,” he said. “I talked to the doctor and he said, ‘Let it heal. It’ll be alright.’ What I think it is is a lot of swelling in my neck which is causing pressure on my nerve; I don’t have a pinched nerve or bone spurs anymore. When the swelling goes away, I’ll feel much better.
