Kurt Angle Calls AEW Star Better Than Shawn Michaels
WWE icon Kurt Angle believes somebody from AEW just surpassed Shawn Michaels.
Kurt Angle believes that Chris Jericho has surpassed Shawn Michaels as the "greatest of all time".
One WWE legend heaped praise on another during his appearance on Lucha Libre Online's YouTube channel; Angle said that AEW star Jericho has "taken over" from HBK as pro wrestling's G.O.A.T. Explaining this, Kurt went on to say that his old pal Chris deserves the praise for continually reinventing himself and proving he's the best all over again in Tony Khan's young promotion.
Previously, Angle thought that Jericho was up there with Michaels anyway as one of the best. Then, after witnessing his body of work in AEW, Kurt began to view the ex-Y2J as even better than Shawn. That, ladies and gentlemen, is seriously high praise.
It'll also ruffle a lot of feathers amongst wrestling fans online.
Angle was keen to point out that he wasn't showering Jericho with praise to "blow smoke up [his] ass". No, the former Olympian just thinks that AEW's Jericho Appreciation Society leader has consistently shown why he's the greatest pro wrestler of all time.
What's more, Kurt thinks Jericho has even more to offer for years to come.
