Kurt Angle took part in a Q&A this weekend (transcript thanks to Bill Prichard of Wrestlezone). Angle revealed his reaction to Jason Jordan being replaced by Triple H on the Survivor Series team. He also shared his reaction when he was told that Jason Jordan was going to be his illegitimate son.
Here is what Angle said:
“I wasn’t happy about [Jordan being replaced]. When you have HHH on your team, though he is really hard to deal with, he’s one of the best ever. Jason got hurt and HHH replaced him… honestly I don’t know if we would have won if we didn’t have HHH. Obviously, HHH wanted to win himself, but it was tough. Jason is my son and I want to help him the most that I can… I can’t believe that I’m saying this laughs.
You know this is a big prank that Vince [McMahon] had when he made this happen. I looked at him and I said ‘Are you serious?’ and said ‘When did I get [Jordan’s storyline mother] pregnant in college?’ The joke was on me, but honestly I’m not going to lie to you, I really hope that this storyline turns into a match with Jason. Whether you like him or not, or his character, you can’t deny that right now he’s one of the top three wrestlers in the company.
Watch him perform; he’s up there with AJ Styles. He’s got a different style, but you will see that Jason Jordan will be a world champion eventually. I know that people can’t stand him right now, but his performance in the ring, it doesn’t get much better than that”
Some big praise from Kurt. So far the storyline with Jordan hasn’t landed with the audience. We will see if that changes as time passes.
