WWE, professional wrestling in general, has over the years had several great men who have overcome barriers and redefined the way giant artists are viewed in business.
Kurt Angle worked with many physically imposing superstars in his heyday, and the Olympic gold medalist named Kane and The Undertaker the two greatest men of his career.
During the latest episode of “The Kurt Angle Show” on AdFreeShows, WWE Hall of Famer talked about the match he had with Kane from 2001 to the WWE No Way Out PPV that year.
Kurt Angle said he felt great working with Kane in the WWE and praised Big Red Machine’s agility and athletic ability.
“He was great. One of the best big boys I’ve ever worked with. He had a knack for, you know, what he did in the ring. He was incredible. Great athlete for his size.”
It wasn’t very hard to work with: Kurt Angle on why Undertaker and Kane are two of the greatest big men in WWE history
Angle also mentioned Kane’s kayfabe brother, Undertaker, and explained why the Brothers of Destruction were the best when it came to the in-ring work of the gigantic fighters. Kurt Angle revealed that both Kane and Undertaker were light on their feet and did everything in the ring to make their matches easier.
Big men are famous for being hard to work with, but Kane and Undertaker were different and extremely skilled in their craft. Angle said it was easy to work with Kane and Undertaker and that it is a huge compliment to fighters who are as big as the Brothers of Destruction.
“He and Undertaker were the best two big boys I’ve ever been in the ring with. They were not heavy on their feet. They were light. They jumped after you when you gave them a suplex. They were not very difficult to work with, they were very easy to work with, and this is, you know, a huge compliment to anyone who has that size in business.
While The Undertaker officially ended his career in the WWE Survivor Series last year, Kane will follow tradition and return to the latest Royal Rumble men’s game.
Kane, real name Glenn Jacobs, is busy as mayor of Knox County and, although he may continue to appear sporadically on WWE TV, his days as an active performer in the ring are long over.
