Kurt Angle, the WWE Hall of Famer, recently shared his thoughts on various topics during the latest episode of his show, The Kurt Angle Show. Angle discussed the rise of LA Knight, IYO SKY cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase at SummerSlam to win the Women’s Title, and more. Let’s dive into the highlights of his interview.
Regarding IYO SKY’s Women’s Title win, Angle stated, “It was a double swerve. Yeah, it wasn’t a bad idea, though. If they like the SKY girl, you know, this was a right, this is what I’m talking about. When you have new stars, and you want to make them, you have to make them while the iron’s hot; this girl’s hot right now; put her in there, have her win the world title, and get her over, get her, working as champ, get her a long reign as champion. And now you have another huge star in your company.”
Angle also spoke about LA Knight’s rise in the industry. He said, “He gets a lot of press, man. He’s over; he’s over right now. He might be the most over guy at this point. The fans are excited about him. I think they remind him of an Attitude Era type of character. Yes. And they’re loving him. I mean, they’re comparing him to The Rock and all this stuff. Yeah. It’s just incredible. So, you know what, I knew the kid was talented because I worked alongside him, I believe, and it was in TNA and you know, I didn’t know how good he was until now. And he’s tearing it up, oozing charisma, LA Knight.”
Angle also shared his thoughts on the recent match between Logan Paul and Ricochet. He stated, “You know what, I understand why, you know, he’s a part-timer, and he’s a YouTuber, and he’s, you know, he’s famous because of his boxing and all that stuff. But I, you know, give Rick a chance, chance, you know, something like this could highlight his career. But don’t get me wrong, Paul, Logan Paul is an incredible athlete. I heard he had to use Nunchucks to win the match. Right. Which is a kind of protected Ricochet.”
It’s clear that Angle has been keeping a close eye on the current happenings in the wrestling world. His insights on IYO SKY’s title win, LA Knight’s rise, and the Logan Paul vs. Ricochet match provide a unique perspective on these recent events.
