8 Things You Didn't Know About Apollo Crews

By John Bills /

1. His Dream Opponent Is Kurt Angle

Professional wrestling is full to the brim of dream matches. It positively demands fantasy booking, of picking opponents from different promotions, eras, decades and more and throwing them together to create the perfect storm. Steve Austin vs. CM Punk, Hulk Hogan vs. John Cena, Daniel Bryan vs. Bret Hart, Savio Vega vs. Xavier Woods, the list is never ending. All wrestlers have their own dream matches as well, and in the case of Apollo Crews the man he would most like to face is none other than the Olympic gold medallist, Kurt Angle. Angle's career is winding down so the chances are growing slimmer by the month, but we can still dream. Kurt Angle is hands down one of the greatest professional wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots, and seeing him up against someone of the ability of Apollo Crews would be a career moment for the latter, a chance to prove his relevance for the former. If Angle were to return to WWE in the next 12 months, this dream could become a reality. Unfortunately, it is more likely that like all the other dream matches this will indeed stay just that, a dream.
