Kurt Angle had great hopes in the future of Baron Corbin in the WWE, but things did not result as he expected.
The Olympic gold medalist and member of the WWE Hall of Fame recently talked about his feelings about Corbin's professional career after being his final opponent in Wrestlemania 35 in 2019. This occurred in the light of the reports of November 1, where it was reported that WWE would not renew Corbin's contract . Corbin himself confirmed the news on social networks, thanking fans for their support throughout his career.
Angle, Talking to Wrestlezone he did not hold on his thoughts about the management of Corbin's WWE after Wrestlemania. Reflecting on the fight that closed his legendary career, Angle shared:
“Baron, I think he is underestimated. I think he stinks a bit: they started using it in the way they should have done it, they made me defeated, with what was fine, it was my last fight and obviously you will lose your last fight when you retire. Baron, after that, ended up winning King of the Ring and then nothing else happened with him.”
Corbin's victory on Angle seemed to be a springboard for the former NFL player, but the impulse faded quickly. Angle continued:
“It is a bit disappointing to know that he beat a legend in Wrestlemania in the last fight of the legend and that they really did not do much with him after that. For me, it makes me feel as if I had done it for anything. It is not like, 'that you J#$ an, Angle', but, in a way it is.”
Despite Corbin's apparent potential, the company changed its character several times, from the melancholic “King Corbin” To the optimist “Happy Corbin”. Angle suggested that these changes could have hindered Corbin's progress.
