Kurt Angle diz que WWE o desrespeita e elogia Vince McMahon
O The New York Post publicou uma entrevista com Kurt Angle onde este fala da sua carreira no wrestling e diz que não merece ser rotulado como um dos melhores de sempre. Angle disse:
"It was a complete career adaptation. It wasn't a step above, going from amateur wrestling to pro wrestling, it was going from real wrestling to sports entertainment," Angle said. "A lot of people put me up there as far as saying he's one of the best ever. And I've only been wrestling for 11 and a half years. I think that Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker, guys who have put 30 years into it deserve it. Me getting that praise after only 11 years—it's not fair.”
Kurt disse que não gosta de ver os seus trademark moves serem usados na WWE. Angle afirmou:
"When Jack Swagger copies my ankle lock and Randy Orton does my Angle Slam, it's disrespectful," Angle said. "I didn't come up with the Ankle Lock, Ken Shamrock came up with the Ankle Lock but I waited until he retired to do the Ankle Lock. That company has no respect for me."
Apesar de desagradado coma WWE, Angle elogia Vince McMahon ao ter dito:
"I love Vince McMahon. He came up with the Kurt Angle character,” Angle said. "He ran with it and then I was able to run with it. I thank him for the opportunity he gave me. Vince McMahon was one of my best friends, period. Now I'm loyal to Dixie Carter."
