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.”
