Angle praised Kenny Omega for what he has done in the independent wrestling circuits worldwide, and his legacy will go down in history if he never enters WWE.

He mentioned that he had not seen a talent like him in a long time. Kurt added that he is as talented as Mysterio and one of the most outstanding workers in the industry.

“What he’s been able to do the past ten years in wrestling, over in Japan, here in the United States, he was the biggest star and the most talented superstar that never went to WWE. He will go down in history as that if he never does enter WWE. His success, what he’s had in Japan and AEW, is phenomenal. I haven’t seen a talent like him in a long time. I would say he’s every bit as talented as Rey Mysterio, and he belongs on that upper echelon of talents. One of the greatest workers in the business today.”

Kenny also recently quoted about Kurt Angle being his most influential superstars and how much he admires Angle.

He was recently defeated by Adam Page at AEW Full Gear where he lost his AEW World Championship.
