Kurt Angle Talks Comedy Wrestling

Whether or not comedy has a place in professional wrestling has long been a debate both from industry workers and fans. Kurt Angle continues to make his stance quite clear that comedy does work inside the squared circle. Responding to a fan on Twitter that posted one of Angle’s hilarious interactions with Booker T, Kurt Angle said that “Funny DOES draw money [in professional wrestling], if it’s genuine.”

It’s hard to disagree with a former Olympic champion, let alone one who became an American hero with a broken freakin’ neck.
