Kurt Angle gave his thoughts on various topics on the latest episode of his Kurt Angle Show.
During it, the WWE Hall Of Famer talked about Roman Reigns beating Cody Rhodes to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 39. Angle feels that fans may lose some interest in the WWE product should they not create new top stars.
“I’m not going to beat up on Roman Reigns because he is the man he deserves to be,” said Kurt. “We’re in a time now where if you’re a champion for three years, that’s a little long. It’s just too long. Because we’re not in territories anymore. When you were in territories, you weren’t on TV every week. So fans had to come to see you at the arenas, and you’d only be in that city one day a week. So they only saw wrestling one day a week back then when they were champion for six, eight years. Now Roman Reigns has gone on; it looks like he’s gonna have to hold the title for another few years. The thing is, he’s on TV every week, sometimes twice a week, and then you know, a pay-per-view every month. It’s just a lot. I don’t believe the ratings are gonna go down, but I do believe some people are going to lose interest because they’re not making other wrestlers. You know, Roman has an opportunity to make a wrestler, he could have made Cody into a megastar, which Cody is already a star, but he would have been a mega-star if he won at WrestleMania. That’s just my opinion.”
