Kurt Angle Feels Bad That Gable Steveson Always Gets Compared To Him: “He’s Really Talented”

Kurt Angle, the Olympic Hero, recently shared his thoughts on Gable Steveson during the latest episode of his podcast. Angle expressed his sympathy for Steveson, who is constantly being compared to him in the wrestling world. He also discussed the possibility of WWE making Steveson a heel, a move that Angle believes is a brilliant strategy.

Angle acknowledged Steveson’s talent and athleticism, but he emphasized that it is not fair to compare him to himself at this point in his career. Angle stated, “He hasn’t even barely started, so I don’t know how his future is going to be. I know he’s really talented, really athletic. I’m not sure how he is as far as entertainment-wise, but as far as in the ring, I heard he’s really good. But no, I don’t think it’s a fair assessment to compare him to me right now.”

Angle also mentioned an incident involving Steveson and Baron Corbin at NXT, where the fans reacted negatively towards Steveson. Angle shared, “This is crazy, but people have been coming to me and telling me, ‘Hey, he wrestled Baron Corbin at NXT, and the fans were booing the heck out of him. Then he pulled his straps down, and the fans got even more pissed.’”

Regarding WWE’s potential plan to make Steveson a heel, Angle expressed his belief that WWE wants Steveson to copy and mimic his own character in order to provoke a negative reaction from the fans. Angle stated, “I think they’re gonna have him copy and mimic me so he can piss the fans off. So that he starts out as a heel because it’s easier to be a heel starting out than it is a babyface. So I think that I think they’re the ones that actually told him to do this stuff. I really believe that, and I think WWE is brilliant for doing it.”

Angle also discussed the legacy of two iconic wrestling factions, nWo and Degeneration-X, during the podcast. He considers them to be the greatest factions of all time. You can read more about Angle’s thoughts on nWo and Degeneration-X here.
