Kurt Angle’s agent Dave Hawk recently spoke to The Sun in the UK about Kurt being shortlisted for the new season of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.

“Its pretty simple, Kurt enjoys dancing and believe it or not he has the talent to do it,” Hawk said. "Just as Kurt has lightning speed, smooth, controlled and brilliant moves in pro-wrestling, this man can also dance. I had my first real glimpse of his dancing talent at my son's wedding about a year ago. I was really surprised as Kurt can really move. […] I believe with his athletic ability and charisma, he will be a very strong contender on this program."

The cast for the new season of Dancing With The Stars will be unveiled on the Monday, August 17 edition of Good Morning America on ABC News.
