Kurt Angle Shares Possible Reason Why Fans Could Lost Interest In WWE

Throughout the course of WWE history the company has helped to create some of the biggest names in the business such as Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, The Rock and John Cena just to name a few. It’s no big secret that WWE hasn’t had as much success building stars in recent years, but Roman Reigns has claimed his spot at the top of the company.

Cody Rhodes recently challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39 and it was Roman who won the match to retain the gold. The finish has been heavily debated among fans as some feel that WWE should have given Cody the win.

Kurt Angle recently discussed the match on The Kurt Angle Show, and he explained why he thinks fans could lost interest if WWE doesn’t start making moves to create new stars.

“I’m not going to beat up on Roman Reigns because he is the man he deserves to be. 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.”

Do you think Cody should have won at WrestleMania? Sound off in the comments below.
