During a recent Q&A session on his Facebook page, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle answered which match is his favorite cinematic WWE match. He also gave his thoughts on why he feels the PG era is actually good for wrestling
Check out the highlights below.
Kurt Angle on his favorite cinematic style WWE match being the Boneyard Match:
“Firefly Funhouse and Randy vs. Edge, but the Taker vs. AJ match was my favorite because Taker deserved a match like that near the end of his career. I suggested he face AJ at ‘Mania last year. I guess he thought it was a great idea.”
Kurt Angle on why he feels the PG era is good for wrestling:
“I think the PG Era is good for wrestling. I understand that we had more creative control over our characters before PG, but the fact that the PG Era came around has helped the wrestlers stay healthier. Drug tests, physicals, doctors, trainers, have become important to taking care of the health of superstars. The Attitude Era was special, but the wrestlers did not have the benefits of what these superstars have today. PG Era needed to happen. Plus, the fact that WWE is marketing to families instead of young adults.”
Kurt Angle on playing the villain:
“I guess I did my job…LOL. I liked being the villain, it was fun. I got to be very funny and make an ass out of myself. I secured many great moments both as a heel and as a babyface.”
One of my favorites also.
This was a great match. I thought it was really cool.
