Kurt Angle was lucky enough to have a long and successful career inside the squared circle, but he officially hung up his boots after losing to Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35.
The next night on Raw Kurt Angle was confronted by Lars Sullivan, and Sullivan destroyed the Hall of Famer while making his main roster debut.
During a recent episode of the Kurt Angle Show the former WWE Champion talked about putting Lars Sullivan over, and he noted that he wouldn’t have been upset about it if Lars Sullivan had actually worked out.
“I thanked Baron because he was going to allow me to shine before I stepped down,” Angle said. “After the WrestleMania match, being able to go out in the ring and get some shine on him, I ended my career on a high note and then all of a sudden Lars Sullivan came out. I wouldn’t have been upset if Lars Sullivan worked out.
“Vince loved his look, strength and explosiveness, I just think he wasn’t as experienced as he could have been to start out. I think he needed a little bit more training, he was very basic and he had an incredible look and I think Vince was drawn to that. I had to put Lars over, just another one of those things I did before I made my way out of the company as a wrestler.”
As noted Lars Sullivan was quietly released from WWE recently and it’s believed that he’s training to become a bareknuckle boxer.
