WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has given his honest thoughts on Chad Gable, and what he believes is his biggest hurdle.
With Kurt Angle going on to become one of the greatest wrestlers in WWE history after capturing his Olympic Gold Medal in 1996, natural comparisons were made with other Olympians joining the company.
Most notably is Chad Gable, who many have compared to Kurt over the years given their similar background and even personalities.
Speaking about Gable on the Ariel Helwani Show, Kurt gave his honest thoughts on Gable, and what he believes may be his biggest hurdle in the company.
He said:
“I think he’s great. I’m just happy he was able to find his niche, I know it’s kind of identical to mine, but if it works for him I’m happy for him. I think regardless of if he did my character or anyone else’s, I think the kid’s incredibly talented, so he would have succeeded either way.
“You know the problem with him, I think it’s only because the office looks at him like this but he’s a little undersized, but that’s not an excuse Chris Benoit was 5′ 9″, Eddie Guerrero was 5′ 8″, Rey Mysterio’s 5′ 5″, so someone like Chad can be a main eventer.”
