WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently took to an episode of his Kurt Angle show podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how “The Icon” Sting should have only been booked in high-profile matches in TNA.
Angle said, “Sting was one of those guys that if you had him in the match, you wanted to have him in a singles match. You wanted to make sure it was more important. He was such an icon and a legend that I would have used him sparingly. I would have used him just for world title matches, one-on-ones, and maybe a big tag match. But yeah, him putting them in there kind of prostituted him a little bit. You need to protect Sting. That’s what I believe.”
He commented on competing against Hernandez during their time in TNA Wrestling.
“Really stiff, but so was I. I’m not going to lie to you. But what an incredible athlete. He was explosive. He was about six foot one, maybe 260. And pound for pound, I put him up there close to Brock Lesnar. That’s how strong he was. I was scared to death that he was going to throw me on my head.”
Angle also talked about if he had any problems with Hernandez.
“Oh, no, I didn’t. Like I said, he was a little stiff, but so was I. And I didn’t mind getting, you know, giving it back. And I had a good match with him once. It was really good.”
