WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently spoke with NBC Sports Boston on a variety of topics such as why the WWE doesn’t give him the recognition he deserves.
Kurt Angle said:
“No I don’t [get the recognition he deserves], but there’s a reason for that. I left the company high and dry in 2006, and didn’t come back for 11 years. When you leave a company like that, and they wanted me to stay, you’re going to pay the price eventually.”
Kurt Angle also talked about how his career in IMPACT Wrestling/TNA was longer than his career in the WWE and how he thinks that is another reason he isn't getting the recognition he deserves from WWE.
Kurt Angle said:
“So, I was in TNA longer than I was in WWE. I think that that has a bearing on it as well. So, I feel like even though I’m a WWE product, it’s where I started, it’s where I ended, I think the WWE looks at me as a TNA product. And I think that’s the reason why.”
Kurt Angle then talked about how he defeated WWE legend The Rock and WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold for his first two world championships.
Kurt Angle said:
“For my first two world titles I beat The Rock and I beat ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. So, those are two formidable names. It is surprising I’m not in a lot of the highlight reels. Like I told you, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
