Kurt Angle gave his thoughts on various topics on the latest episode of his Kurt Angle Show, including Samoa Joe winning the AEW World Heavyweight Title from MJF at the Worlds End pay-per-view event a week ago.
History
Although MJF was injured with a hip injury and torn labrum heading into the bout, that reportedly didn’t cause AEW to take the title off of him and put it on Joe at the show. Instead, that was always the plan.
The first match between Joe and Angle drew TNA's biggest PPV buyrate in company history. Here are the highlights:
Praise
On Joe winning the AEW World Title:
“Congrats, Samoa Joe,” Angle stated. “He didn't get it in WWE, but he got it in AEW, and I'm really proud of him because that guy is so talented. He is one of the greatest big men I've ever wrestled in my life.”
On Joe as a talker:
“I'll never forget, he did a speech for me when I got inducted into the Hall of Fame in TNA. So articulate,” Angle stated. “ I mean, the guy was just so good with words and how he expresses himself. He's one of the best promo guys in the business right now.”
