#1.) Kurt Angle inspired him to become a wrestler
Apollo Crews grew up during the New Generation Era and his fandom peaked during the Attitude Era. He loved watching all the larger than life characters such as The Undertaker, The Rock, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, etc. but it was the Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle who was the one that inspired him to wrestle.
While the previously mentioned superstars ignited his love for wrestling, it was Angle who inspired him to lace a pair of boots. Crews has previously stated that Kurt Angle is his #1 dream match. With Angle’s role as a wrestler slowing down, it’s certainly a good dream match that fans would like to see.
