In a recent discussion with “Casino.org,” Kurt Angle, a WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling icon, shared some insights about the current WWE roster. Among his revelations, Angle was firm in his prediction that GUNTHER will be the next big thing in wrestling.
Check out some key takeaways from Angle’s interview:
Discussing who he would love to engage with in the WWE ring, Angle confessed, “Roman Reigns is someone I would have relished working with. In my eyes, he’s made a name for himself as one of the greatest in history. While fans initially resisted his extreme promotion by WWE, his heel turn allowed him to reveal his true potential and he emerged as the top wrestler in the industry. He undoubtedly deserves it. At this stage, I don’t believe anyone is superior. My top choice, without a doubt, would be Roman Reigns.”
Angle also explained the dynamics between playing a villain (heel) versus a hero (babyface). “While playing a heel brings its share of fun and a tad less stress, fans initially wouldn’t recognize you and instinctively boo, regardless of whether you’re a babyface. This has been the experience of both The Rock and John Cena. When I began my career as a heel, facing massive booing from the crowd, I used the strategy of mocking their cities or towns in the promos, which worked damn well. What made it simpler for me was that as a heel, I wasn’t striving for acceptance, so the booing came naturally. Despite playing a babyface intermittently in my career, which I did enjoy, I was mostly cast as a heel. Still, fans changed ‘you suck’ chants into affectionate cheer. I indeed owe a lot to the best fans in the world.”
Finally, Angle pinpointed his prediction about the WWE’s future star, stating that “Gunther is the one to watch out for; he’s a charmer. His raw talent is commendable and I’m pretty certain that he’s our next big name, who will be constantly on the main event. His well-rounded wrestling techniques, his excellent antics as a heel; I’m convinced he’s going to be a household name in the coming years.”
