Kurt Angle questions WWE over usage of Shinsuke Nakamura

WWE legend Kurt Angle slammed the company over their treatment of Shinsuke Nakamura and the wrestler’s passion for the sport.  

The Olympic Gold Medalist while on the latest episode of The Kurt Angle Show said that the language barrier should not be considered as a thing for misusing his talent in the organisation.

“I love his passion for the sport, love his character and think he’s hilarious. Every time he comes out, the fans go crazy. It’s crazy that the company hasn’t utilized him more, the way he should be utilized.”

“Really surprised but I think it might be a little bit of the language barrier, that might be one of the reasons but he covers that with the way he portrays himself and the things he says. He doesn’t have to know English, he’s entertaining as it is. I’m not sure why they don’t utilize him the way he should be utilized.”

Shinsuke Nakamura is the WWE Intercontinental Champion

Nakamura is currently the WWE Intercontinental Champion and despite having the title with him since August – he has not been used the way he should have been by the company.

He has mostly played second fiddle to his co-stars despite being a champion and Angle is right about his treatment being a little shoddy by WWE.

At the Survivor Series PPV – Nakamura won his match against Damian Preist. It was one of the most electrifying fights that evening. The Intercontinental Champion started the fight on the front foot showing his athleticism and courage.

However, Priest fought back and was on top of the encounter before he lost his cool in frustration. Preist smashed Nakamura with a guitar during the face-off, resulting in a disqualification.
