Kurt Angle: “I Have All the Faith in the World That Stephanie and Triple H Will be Able to Carry [WWE]”

WWE legend Kurt Angle was recently interviewed by Bleacher Report to promote his upcoming episode of A&E’s Biography: WWE Legends this Sunday night. He discussed several topics, including the documentary, managing Chad Gable, the future of WWE, and more.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On the biography:

“I really hit on a lot of things I had to overcome,” he said. “The documentary is about overcoming. Overcoming my addiction, my injuries, deaths of close family members. It’s really about redemption and turning my life around and being a good husband, father and role model.

“Good things happen in your life, bad things happen in your life, but it’s all about how you respond to them and how you overcome them,” he added. “When you’re high on your horse and doing really well, there’s no complaints, but when you’re down in the gutter, it’s really hard to get out of it, and I know that personally.”

On managing Chad Gable:

“I would love to manage Chad Gable and Otis,” he reaffirmed. “I would’ve absolutely loved managing Jason Jordan and Chad Gable. I thought those guys would be a new Team Angle, and I was pushing for that before Jason got injured, but Otis actually took Jason’s place.

“But I would love to manage those guys,” he continued. “They both have a lot of potential. Otis is a big, burly guy, but he knows how to work and he’s really good. Chad is really talented. That kid has all the tools necessary to be one of the best.”

On the future of WWE, Vince McMahon’s retirement and Stephanie and Triple H:

“They’re making adjustments,” he said. “

It’s obviously sad to see Vince gone, he’s what made the WWE tick. He was always the guy and he will continue to be the guy, whether he’s there or not. I’m not worried about the company. I am a little bit concerned that Vince isn’t going to be there, but I have all the faith in the world that Stephanie and Triple H will be able to carry that company.

“I honestly believe, and I don’t know if I should say this or not, but I think Vince is going to be behind the scenes,” he said. “I don’t think he’s ever going to let go of the product. He will send messages to Triple H and Stephanie and make sure he’s involved, no doubt about it. I believe that in my mind.”

Angle also discusses his life outside of wrestling, a possible future movie and more.
