Former WWE superstar, Kurt Angle (WWE)
WWE Superstar Kurt Angle recently appeared on The Zaslow Show and talked about Stone Cold Steve Austin and how the injury took his career sooner than expected.
“Stone Cold got his career taken away from him due to his back and his neck,” “And it was sad because he wasn’t ready to retire at that particular time.”
Kurt Angle rates Austin among the best wrestlers he has worked with and the best ever. He mentioned the character of Stone Cold and how people loved and hated him when he was a heel.
Angle also mentioned one of the very significant abilities of Stone Cold to improvise out in the ring and change things but then again go back to what it was initially.
“Number one,” Angle said. “His character was so strong. People absolutely loved him, or they hated him when he was a heel. But his intensity in the ring is unmatched. His in-ring psychology is incredible. He’s one of the very few guys that can improvise out in the ring and change the spots and change things and go back to what it was originally. He knows how to improvise very well. So he has all the knacks for business. This guy will go down in history as the absolute most popular WWE Superstar.” (H/t Wrestling Inc.)
Angle is very interested in seeing what Steve Austin does in WrestleMania.
Austin recently accepted a challenge from Kevin Owens to appear on a particular KO Show segment on Night 1 of the event on Saturday, April 2.
Stone Cold’s last match was a loss to The Rock at WrestleMania XIX in 2003, but he had to retire due to the issues following his severe neck injury that required significant surgeries.
However, Austin has gotten physical with other performers since taking retirement, and one of those came at WrestleMania 32, which was also held at AT&T stadium. Irrespective of that, he has made several appearances for WWE over the years but never had another official match.
