    Kurt is so humble. He's actually the one who's the whole damn package.

  • @TheyCallMeMrMaybe
    @TheyCallMeMrMaybe Před 9 měsíci +478

    His athleticism and high-flying style were unmatched during the earlier half of his career. Angle spent years in TNA wrestling alongside and against Styles. In this day and age where we have a lot more spot monkeys these days, Styles in the 2000s was something unique. The fact he can still go at that same level from 20 years ago to today just impresses Angle. That's why he's also thrown Jericho's name out there. Someone who's been at it even longer than AJ, yet he's still wrestling.

      Taker was going to fully retire at extreme rules in that tag match with Roman, and was fully insisting on staying retired, until AJ proposed a match between the two and he just couldn't resist.
      That's how good AJ was, effectively convinced the undertaker to unretire.

    AJ is the person that brought me back to watching WWE regularly and one of the top reasons I still watch WWE. After now watching wrestling for 30+ years (wow I feel old at 38) he will prolly go down as one of my top 5 maybe 3 favorite wrestlers of all time. Kurt’s in that top also but I’m bias to Kurt growing up and knowing him personally from Pittsburgh and his brother was a wrestling coach for my school growing up.

The guy was a beast in the ring, even Kurt himself said that he was the most intense wrestler he has ever stepped in the ring with, even more intense than Kurt himself. It's such a shame that he did what he did in his last moments in this world...
