Kurt Angle recently discussed a hypothetical dream match between himself and Kenny Omega.
Stemming from Omega revealing on social media that Kurt Angle is still someone he chooses to study and would gladly lose to if they ever wrestle, Angle is now opening up on what he’d want to see from a match between himself and “The Cleaner.”
During a recent episode of The Kurt Angle Show, the WWE Hall of Famer addressed Omega, calling him one of the finest wrestlers in the world.
“Someone like Kenny Omega, the impact that he’s had on wrestling today; I think he’s one of the best today without a doubt. For him to say that about me, it’s a complete honor,” Angle said. “I’ve kept my eyes on this kid for the last ten years, wrestling over in Japan and everywhere else but the WWE and I’m surprised WWE never picked him up. I don’t know if he wanted to go to WWE because I think if WWE really wanted him or if he really wanted to go, they would have hired him. For some reason, he didn’t want to go there, but I respect his decision, and I think he’s just the best today.
Angle claimed they would depend on their technical talents to generate a compelling story. He even compared it to a bout he may have had with Bret Hart.
“Well, one thing we wouldn’t do, we’re not going to have some cage match. We’re not going to have a hardcore match. What we’re gonna have is a technical wrestling match. I think Kenny and I add value to that. That is our forte, and that’s what we would be able to bring to the table. It would be like Bret Hart versus Kurt Angle. I really believe that. It would be a little different because Kenny’s a little more of a high flyer, but for the most part, it would be almost the same,” he said.
