The Rock has pretty much stopped appearing in wrestling matches these last few years. But in his time ‘The Great One’ has put on so many memorable performances that the WWE Universe can’t stop talking about him. Even Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle has recently spoken on his arch-nemesis.
Kurt won his first WWE title by besting Flex Kavana all the way back in No Mercy 2000. The duo has competed in quite a few memorable bouts since then. After all these years, King Kurt has nothing but praise for his former rival, “Oh, he [Rock] would have a lot of energy, a lot of fire.”
“He’s the most entertaining guy I have ever been in the ring with and the most enthusiastic, a lot of charisma, and what an incredible athlete, especially for his size. He was 6’5″ and 260 lbs, and he moved like he was a cat like he was a 150lbs. So his athleticism really carried him through the WWE,” Kurt Angle continued.
The ‘Wrestling Machine’ also talked about the genius of his rival to keep things entertaining inside the ring, You know what, what’s so great about him is he comes up with so many great innovative ideas. His mind’s always working.”
“You know, you could tell now to this day, how creative he is what he’s able to do with his businesses and his acting. He’s just a really creative guy and I really enjoyed working.”
The fans can testify to Angle’s comments also. From signature moves like ‘Rock Bottom’ and ‘The People’s Elbow’, to his iconic lines like, ‘It doesn’t matter what you think’ and ‘can you smell what the rock is cooking’, even his signature eyebrow movement, the list of the Rocks entertaining ideas can go on.
Currently ‘Flex Kavana’ is rumored to take on Roman Reigns in Wrestlemania 39. We too are eagerly waiting to see ‘The most electrifying man in all of sports entertainment return to his home ground.
