There are plenty of young, hungry talents now on the unemployed list, but it is important to remember that AEW has a relatively inexperienced roster when it comes to mainstream televised professional wrestling. The talent pool is as deep as it gets, but working commercial breaks, cameras and the rest is something that takes time. Experience is priceless.

They don’t come much more experienced than Kurt Angle. A WWE Hall of Famer, the multi-time World Champion is regarded by many as being one of the absolute greatest of all time, an Olympic gold medallist who had it all and made the most of that talent. When it comes to wrestling on big stages, Kurt Angle knows a thing or two.

He also knows a thing or two about adjusting to a different world in the blink of an eye. Long before he was an all-time great Angle enjoyed what may well be the greatest rookie year in the history of professional wrestling, taking to the world of sports entertainment like the proverbial duck to water. His knowledge, talent and experience (not to mention intelligence, integrity and intensity) could be a gamechanger for AEW’s younger talent.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
