Kurt Angle On If He Has Real Heat With Baron Corbin

On the road to WrestleMania 35 it was revealed that Kurt Angle would be facing Baron Corbin in his retirement match on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Corbin ended up defeating Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 35, and Kurt has remained retired ever since then. During a recent episode of The Kurt Angle Show, Kurt Angle talked a little bit about what working with Baron Corbin was like and he confirmed that there’s no heat between him and Corbin.

“I do not have heat with Baron Corbin. He wasn’t my first choice to retire me at WrestleMania. I made that very well known, but I didn’t mind having him there. I didn’t mind wrestling him for it.”

Kurt Angle went on to say that he feels Baron Corbin is really good and that the former United States Champion can make it to the main event level and stay there if he was given the right push.

“The problem with Baron is right after he beat me, they pushed him hard. He won King of the Ring, became King Baron, King Corbin, or whatever it was. And then they changed it to Happy Corbin. I don’t know what the hell they were thinking. So, you know, at that point, he was kind of dwindling, and then they came back with the ‘Lone Wolf Baron Corbin, I think, is what it was. And he started coming back up again. But I don’t think he’s had the opportunity that he deserves. I think that they could push him a little harder, and I think that he would be in a much better place if they did that. I just don’t know if they’re not crazy about him or what it is, but he is talented. He’s really good. He can kind of promo just as well as anybody else. He’s great in the ring. So I don’t know what the problem is. He’s talented enough to make it to the main event level and stay there.”
