10 Superstars Kurt Angle Needs To Face Before He Retires

by Andrew Pollard

1. Daniel Bryan

Yes, yes, yes, I know it€™s the obvious choice, but at the top of this list has to be Daniel Bryan. When people talk about dream matches that never happened, one that always comes up is Bret Hart vs Kurt Angle. Whilst we may have missed out on that one, Daniel Bryan going up against Kurt is one other dream match that could just about still happen. Right now, we€™ve got Kurt Angle as a TNA employer who is soon to see his contract expire, and then there€™s Daniel Bryan, a WWE employer who Vinny Mac€™s doctors won€™t clear to wrestle. So, how does this match take place exactly? Well, it involves a lot of wishful thinking on the fans€™ part for a start. Forget logistics, though, for instead think about how great a match-up Angle vs Bryan would be. Two absolute technical masters who are super quick across the mat and who can€™t help but get fans engaged in their matches. The notion of Kurt Angle vs Daniel Bryan is literally the definition of a modern-day dream bout, and we can only get our fingers, toes and nuts crossed that this match can take place at some point, somewhere, somehow before Kurt Angle€™s career finally comes to a close. Agree with these choices or do you have some other suggestions of names Kurt Angle needs to face before he retires? Let us know your thoughts by taking to the comments section.
