Kurt Angle was recently a guest on the Table Talk with D’Von and Mo podcast. During the podcast, he spoke about his storyline with Jason Jordan. This storyline was ultimately cut short after Jordan suffered an injury, which he hasn’t returned from yet.
Angle spoke about how he thinks the storyline with Jordan would have played out on WWE television, had Jordan not gotten hurt.
Here is what he said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quotes below):
“They had plans for me to wrestle Jason, but that would’ve been a one off. I don’t think I would’ve been wrestling constantly just because of that. I just think the WWE wanted to protect me, and I completely get it and I don’t blame them for it. I am just happy I came back and was able to retire where I started, that’s all I wanted to do.”
“What I believe is that Jason was probably going to continue on being my son, he was going to start being a pain in the ass to me, I probably would’ve hired him on as my assistant GM, he would’ve started making decisions for me and it would’ve caused a lot of animosity and then him and I would’ve wrestled at WrestleMania instead of Baron Corbin. Obviously they picked Baron. No matter what you think about him, he’s a great in ring worker, his promo skills have gotten a lot better, he’s a big kid great athlete and what I believe, he replaced Jason.
“What you saw happen with him I think was supposed to be with Jason. It was a great opportunity for him, for Baron, and he took it and he ran with it.”
