Kurt Angle is praised by many wrestling fans as one of the greatest athletes to ever step inside the squared circle. But who does Angle consider as his athletic equals?
WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle was recently featured in an episode of WWE Retrospective. During the episode, Angle would reveal that The Rock, AJ Styles, and Shelton Benjamin are the best athletes he’s ever shared the ring with.
“The Rock was incredible, most amazing athlete, one of the best athletes I’ve ever been in the ring with,” Kurt Angle said. “I would say him, Shelton Benjamin, or even AJ Styles. But The Rock had this athleticism that was second to none. So talented, he moved like a cat. He was a big boy, six-foot-five, 280 pounds; he moved like he weighed 120 pounds.”
