FORMER OLYMPIAN KURT ANGLE SIGNS WITH SMACKDOWN
Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle
It was less than a week ago when most “experts” picked Raw to be the brand that would land The Wrestling Machine. He was even scheduled to be in attendance at this coming Raw. In fact, it was only two days ago when Angle made headlines for punching AJ Styles during a match. AJ was soon after on record suggesting that the WWE press charges on the 5 time world champion. However, that seems very unlikely now that Smackdown has signed Angle. Below are a few gems taken from the press conference-
When asked if he was in wrestling shape
“Im always in wrestling shape. Wrestling is all I know. And im also the only one who can say, that i was the best in the world at any form of wrestling at one point or another.”
On what made him want to come back
“I still watch the shows from time to time, and recently I saw these two studs wrecking the tag team division. Alpha Male or something like that. These guys are cleaning the division, and I could easily beat them, so why not? “
In response to the AJ Styles fiasco
“Look, Ive known AJ for a long time. The AJ you guys see these days isnt the AJ I know. Hes a damn good wrestler, but hes a big fish in a small pond. Hes insecure and afraid of me being in the same division. He doesnt want to chase the same belt as me. He cant beat me.”
Sounds like the same old Angle to me. A big talker, even bigger walker. All I know is Smackdown just got a hell of a lot better. Theres no doubt that the king of the suplex will be putting the entire division upside down in no time. Think of the feuds… Angle v. Styles, Angle v. Ambrose, Angle v. Orton. So many fantasy matches will now be a reality. If youre unfamiliar with Angles body of work, do yourself a favor and check out his matches on the network. He is easily one of the greatest wrestlers of our time. And you heard it here first, he will be champion before Wrestlemania 33 is over. Its true, Its true.
