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 the reason Doug Williams and AJ Styles were so good in the ring and how Williams really stood out, but TNA could have used him better.
Angle said, “Well, the reason they were so good is they were both incredible athletes and they’re both amazing technicians. And Doug Williams coming over from the UK with his European style of wrestling, it really took notice of him. He really stood out and I thought they could have used him a lot better than they actually did. I mean, having matches. AJ Styles was the right thing to do with Doug because I knew he’d have 4 or 5-star matches with all the top guys. But I think that we dropped the ball a little bit with Doug Williams.”
Angle also talked about AJ Styles winning the TNA World Heavyweight Title at No Surrender 2009.
“Yeah, it was a pretty special time. I really loved it. You know, AJ was so excited. He got the fans all riled up. They rushed the ring and they were carrying him around. It was really cool.”
