5 reasons why Kurt Angle is the perfect WWE Raw general manager
Kurt Angle returned to WWE to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, and it led to him taking the role of general manager on Raw. The fans responded well to this decision, and for good reason.
Despite being gone for 11 years, Angle is still over with the WWE Universe. His work in the ring is second to none, and his personality allows him to switch from serious to funny at the drop of a hat.
The Olympic gold medalist will likely wrestle at least one match for the company, but for now, he is the resident authority figure on Monday nights. He has already established himself as a man of action in the few short weeks since taking the job.
It's only a matter of time before Stephanie McMahon and Triple H return to a position of power on television, and when that finally happens, it should create an interesting dynamic between the three.
This slideshow will look at five reasons why Kurt Angle was the perfect choice for the position of Raw general manager.
#5 The fans love him
The casual fan may think chanting “you suck” during Angle's entrance is a sign of disrespect, but it couldn't be further from the truth. The chants have become linked to his music to the point where it's no longer a negative statement.
Every time his song plays in an arena, the fans get on their feet and start cheering. His popularity hasn't waned at all in the years since he last worked for the company as a wrestler.
Whether it's his ability to suplex anyone from any position or his willingness to put on a tiny cowboy hat and sing, Angle is always willing to do what it takes to make sure everyone leaves the show with a smile.
Angle is one of those guys who could easily find a position once he is retired for good because he will always be a valuable commodity as far as the fans are concerned.
