Kurt Angle heaped praise for Nigel McGuinness
The WWE legend was signed to TNA from 2006 till 2016. During his run, he wrestled current AEW commentator Nigel McGuinness, whose ring name was Desmond Wolfe.
Speaking on his show, the gold medalist lauded Desmond's technical ability.
"I loved working with him. He was so good technically, actually too good. He was such a great chain wrestler, what he forgot is some psychology. I'll give you an example. He was a heel, I was wrestling him as a baby face, and he would be chain wrestling me. We would go back and forth, and he would put me in something and put a lock on it so I couldn't reverse it," Angle said.
The Gold Medalist also talked about how Desmond would often forget he was a heel.
"I'm like, 'What are you doing Desmond? I'm the babyface. I'm supposed to out-wrestle you. You have to give me an opening.' And he wasn't quite understanding it, but after a while, he started picking it up. He was like, 'Oh okay, I got you. I'm the one that needs to be out-wrestled. You need to be the better technician because you're the baby face.' I said, 'Exactly,”' he added.
Kurt wrestled his final match against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35.
