Kurt Angle comments on how wrestling matches have changed since his era

During a K & S WrestleFest virtual signing, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle commented on how wrestling matches have changed since his era…

“What you’re getting today is you’re getting a lot better athletes. That are doing more dangerous stunts, more stunt work than really wrestling and working in the ring. But I think that’s because the business evolved. People like to see high-action wrestling matches.

When I wrestled Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero it was all technique. It was technical matches. We didn’t do a lot of crazy stuff. I think there is always room for that. I think it will eventually come back again as it has in the past.”

Angle also gave praise to Kenny Omega…

“I love Kenny Omega. I think he’s a great talent. He can have a 5-star match with just about anybody. Kid’s really well-versed. I didn’t know about the injuries but man I saw the one match with him and the kid from the UK [Will Ospreay]. That was a match to remember. They lit it up that night.” (quotes courtesy of SEScoops.com)
