WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle spoke with TMZ about various topics, including his desire for Real American Freestyle Wrestling to have existed during his time.
Angle said, “Oh gosh, I would’ve loved to have this. This has been my thing. I don’t even know if I would’ve crossed over into pro wrestling, I probably would’ve stuck with amateur wrestling. We didn’t have a pro league back then, I’m a little jealous, but I’m also excited to be a part of it.”
On Real American Freestyle Wrestling:
“RAF, Real American Freestyle, has set the bar. Now, I’m not going to lie to you, there have been other people that have tried professional wrestling leagues before with Olympic style freestyle wrestling, it didn’t work out but with Real American Freestyle, they signed the top wrestlers in the world and they had the backing, the funding to do this. So, this is going to be incredible.”
We take a closer look at whether Kurt Angle’s star power and passion can finally bring freestyle wrestling into the spotlight.
