8 Annoying Traits WWE Stars Need To Stop RIGHT NOW
3. Kurt Angle Is Never In Control
Looking through WWE's official photo galleries for Raw episodes shows Kurt Angle in various states of emotional distress. Whether he's making a match, staring blankly as someone else makes decisions for him (like Roman Reigns) or sweating his way out of another suit backstage, Kurt seems on edge.
He hasn't been in control as Raw General Manager for months now, perhaps even since last year.
This goes against recent WWE storytelling. At WrestleMania 34, Angle teamed with fighting machine Ronda Rousey to beat insufferable harridan Stephanie McMahon and overbearing husband Triple H in a marquee mixed tag match. In other words, he and Rousey put the bad guys in their place, so why is he still running around like a frightened rabbit?
The anxiety angle (pun intended) needs a rethink, if only because it's making Kurt look like a total goof rather than someone who should be fully in power now Steph is out the picture. There's merit to this Constable Corbin gimmick provided WWE don't lean too heavily on the idea that Angle is a befuddled moron.
