Kurt Angle Says He Looked Up To Dean Malenko More Than Anybody Else

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently took to his The Kurt Angle Show podcast, where he discussed how he looked up to former multi-time Cruiserweight Champion and All Elite Wrestling Senior Producer Dean Malenko more than anybody else as Dean Malenko is someone he aspired to be and he knew he could learn a lot from Dean and he did.

Kurt Angle said:

“I looked up to Dean more than anybody else. Him being ‘The Man of 1,000 Holds,’ a technical wrestler — I got so excited when Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero were going to come to WWE because they were all great technical wrestlers. That’s what I aspired to be. Knowing Dean was there, I knew I could learn a lot from him, and I did.”
