Kurt Angle recently did an interview with Forbes where he named John Cena as the greatest WWE superstar of all time. Of course, with Cena being as polarizing as he is, some were outraged with Angle’s opinion. So, our Olympic Hero went on to explain why he thinks the now 16-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion is the greatest of all time.

“Many fans have read my thoughts on why John Cena is the GOAT in WWE, dating back to the Attitude Era,” said Angle on his official blog. “Some liked that comment, some didn’t. But let me lay out why I think he is.

“John Cena has been on top for 14 years. He’s been the “go to” guy for that long. Is he the best technical wrestler ever? No. Not even close. But what he’s been able to accomplish is unparalleled. The fact is, John Cena has consistently stayed healthy and stayed ‘out of trouble’ for his entire career. Are there better wrestlers who have tied or even come close to his accomplishments? Yes. Ric Flair. HHH. Hogan. Undertaker. Orton. Is Ric Flair a better wrestler? Of course. So is Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold and HHH and Undertaker and, yes, even yours truly. But none of us were able to stay on top as the marquee guy for as long as Cena.”
