Former Mutiple Time TNA & WWE World Champion Kurt Angle: “I Had A Better Career In TNA”
While speaking on the Ariel Helwani show last week, Kurt Angle believes he had a better career in TNA than in WWE:
“I had a better career too, I had better matches, and that’s really hard to say because I had some really great ones in WWE, but I came into my own, when you’re a wrestler you don’t really come into your own until 6 or 7 years into the business, and that’s right when I quit WWE and went to TNA.
“I was having some knock down drag out matches with AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Bobby Roode, James Storm, a lot of great talent, Motor City Machine Guns, Jay Lethal, just a lot of great talent down there to work with.
“When I left WWE, I was salivating at the mouth because I saw so much talent in TNA that was untapped, that I was like I can’t wait to get down there, and like I said before I think I had a better career there, so I do take pride in that.
“Once I went to TNA, I felt a whole slew followed me; Kevin Nash, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, you name it they were coming to TNA from WWE, so we had a lot of good years with a lot of great talent, and I was just happy about my career in TNA.”
-Ariel Helwani Show
Kurt also talked about wanting more people to be able to see his TNA matches, so of course TNA posted a compilation of his matches on their YouTube for free.
Full interview:
