The American Hero Kurt Angle is one of the greatest athletes to have stepped foot in the squared circle. The Wrestling Machine has contributed a lot to WWE and has made his mark on the pro wrestling industry. Kurt Angle thinks that the Stamford-based promotion’s behemoth $9 billion net worth is the reason why Tony Khan‘s AEW cannot compete with them in the race for superiority.

While speaking on the Grue Rume Show, Kurt Angle said, “Tony Khan has money too, but not WWE-type money“. He stated what a monster of a company WWE is, having its worth in the billions. Therefore, the Hall of Famer believes that it is hard for AEW to compete with WWE right now. Angle did appreciate the fact that the Jacksonville-based promotion is close to their ratings.

The WWE Veteran also mentioned that it’s crazy how fans pick sides in their favorite promotions. However, he made it clear to himself that WWE will always lead the competition, giving AEW the motivation to look forward to something. He stated that AEW is doing great with their ratings and viewership considering their sports-based approach.

Kurt Angle has been a venerated name as a wrestler for the past three decades. Going through all the thick and thin with injuries and emotional moments, Angle became the superstar he is recognized as today. All of his journeys were documented and recently released on Peacock in a documentary named ‘ANGLE’.

The documentary directed by Alex Perry is an engrossing one hour and forty-five minutes of Angle’s life. The same version can be seen in Biography: WWE Legends series, which also provided an episode telling the story of Kurt. But Perry’s cut is slightly longer and sees itself as an individual project that has reached the depths of Angle’s life.

The story ranges from every aspect of his life, showing the gold medal win at the Olympics with adversities. And even the addiction to painkillers made him hit the lowest point of his life. Nevertheless, the documentary wraps all things up in a healthy way, showing his Hall of Fame induction and finding peace in life.
