WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently took to his The Kurt Angle Show podcast, where he discussed how it is crazy that one massive corporation now owns both UFC and WWE as in the past UFC was not allowed to dabble with the WWE and WWE was not allowed to dabble with UFC as well.
Kurt Angle said:
“It’s crazy. One group owns both companies now. It’s ridiculous. It’s crazy because when you were wrestling, you weren’t allowed to dabble with UFC. When you were with the UFC, you weren’t allowed to dabble with WWE. If you did, they would turn you down because Dana White did not want anybody under contract to WWE that was in UFC.”
Kurt Angle also discussed how for some reason UFC and the WWE are now together and they can held each other out by promoting each other's events, which he considers a good thing.
Kurt Angle said:
“So they felt they were competing, even though, honestly, they were not competing. One’s fighting and one’s sports entertainment, but for some reason, now, they’re together, which is crazy. You know what? They can help each other out, though. They could promote each other. It might be good.”
