Kurt Angle recently spoke with Esquire Middle East to promote his inclusion as a pre-order exclusive character in the WWE 2K18 video game; you can read a few excerpts below:
Kurt Angle comments on the best way he could think of ending his career:
“My main aim would just be to contribute and wrestle some of the younger guys. There’s a lot of great talent right now and I’d love to be able to mix it up with them. I would also imagine that, being who I am, I’d get a pretty high profile match at Wrestlemania if I did wrestle again. And yeah, I think everybody wants a title-run. I’m 48 years old – I’m still in great shape, I can still go pretty hard in the ring, but then again there are other talents out there that need the title more than I do. Don’t get me wrong it would be a lot of fun if I did get a title run, but at the same time as long as I’m contributing and helping out the company I’d be happy with that.”
Angle reveals which current WWE roster member would be a perfect opponent:
“There are obviously a lot of guys out there but one that I think I could have a really meaningful feud with would be Rusev. I really like the way he competes in the ring. I love his persona and I think I’d be able to have a nice program with Rusev. He’s a very talented individual, and I think that the clash of our styles would work very well.”
Angle comments on WWE 2K18 cover star Seth Rollins:
“Seth Rollins is a new staple of the company. Roman Reigns and him have really become the go-to guys over the past few years. And rightfully so. I mean, you know Roman’s your classic Greek god-looking kind of guy. I mean, he’s a great wrestler but Seth is the athlete. He really is ‘The Architect’, and when he gets in that ring he’s very special. He reminds me a lot of AJ Styles in that way, who’s another superstar that I consider just as talented as Seth.”
