Kurt Angle Names the WWE Legends He Would’ve Loved to Wrestle

The wrestling industry has a plethora of athletes. It’s not possible for everyone to have a feud with everyone, even if they’re legends. In fact, WWE Legend Kurt Angle has a few names that he wishes he had wrestled.

During a conversation with Conrad Thompson, he answered a fan’s question wherein he named the wrestlers he wishes he could have wrestled.

“I would have loved to wrestle Bob Backlund. Umm, Iron Sheik, just from his character standpoint alone, you know? Especially USA vs Iran, that would have been awesome. I love Andre, I would have loved to wrestle Andre. I love being tested and to wrestle a big guy like that, you know, like Big Show, that would have been awesome. You know? Bret Hart was in his prime back then. I would have loved to wrestle Bret in his prime.”

Apart from the above names, Kurt Angle revealed he never wrestled Arn Anderson and Ricky Morton either, even though he wanted to. Additionally, Conrad Thompson and Kurt Angle agreed that matches against Barry Windham, Tully Blanchard, and even Ted DiBiase would have been absolutely stunning!

Kurt Angle never got to face his dream retirement opponent

In several interviews The Olympic Gold Medalist revealed that he wanted John Cena to retire him. His reason was that he wanted to bring Cena and his story to a full circle. Since he started John Cena’s career, The Invisible Man retiring him would have been a great way to end their story.

Unfortunately, this did not happen. Instead, he wrestled Baron Corbin in his retirement match. However, Cena was present at the PPV, and Angle revealed being disappointed that Cena did not retire him but he didn’t ask any questions.

Later, he revealed that he had approached WWE about this. He doesn’t know if the company had spoken to Cena about it. Nevertheless, John Cena knew about Angle’s wish since he told Angle he was sorry the match did not happen. Even to this day Kurt Angle doesn’t know why the match did not happen.

Now, when Cena’s return to WWE was confirmed, Angle teased a return. He really wants that retirement match, and could come out of retirement for his dream retirement match. However, since he’s growing older, he’s added an important factor that WWE needs to fulfil to bring him back.
