A WWE Hall of Famer has praised WWE star Chad Gable, believing that he could be a world champion in the company.
There have long been comparisons between Gable and WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle due to their Olympic backgrounds, with Kurt having spoke highly of Gable in the past.
Kurt has also pitched potentially becoming Gable’s manager in the past, as well as Kurt choosing to face Gable on Raw in March 2019 during his retirement tour ahead of WrestleMania 35.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Kurt spoke about his work with Gable, praising him for making him look good, and claiming that Gable could be a world champion in the company.
He said:
“Chad made me look good. He did. Chad’s Chad’s incredible. He’s a very talented kid, and I’m just glad that they’re utilizing them properly because I know he’s undersized a little bit. They didn’t know what to do with them. But this kid could be a world champion and be very marketable. I mean, especially with the gimmick he has right now, with the whole USA thing, and ‘You Suck’ and everything where, he’s like, my son.
“He should have been, yeah, exactly. But Vince McMahon had other ideas, having Jason Jordan be my son, which was ridiculous because, you know, that was cool.”
Kurt competed in his final match at WrestleMania 35, where he lost to Baron Corbin.
Kurt also spoke about potentially facing off against John Cena during Cena’s own retirement tour this year, which you can see here.
