Bill Apter sent us this quote after WWE RAW:
"Pittsburgh has two legends. They are the great Bruno Sammartino, who we sadly lost years ago. The other beloved city son is Olympic hero and multi-time pro wrestling champion Kurt Angle."
This is high praise indeed coming from Apter, who even covered Sammartino's matches in his prime. Now residing in the state of Pennsylvania, Apter was effusive with compliments for the Pittsburgh native:
"His appearance on RAW thrilled the hometown arena audience beyond his own expectations. It was a night we will, as wrestling fans, cherish and hope we see him in a WWE appearance in the very near future!"
As fans, we can only say that we echo Mr. Apter's sentiments wholeheartedly.
Will Kurt Angle keep making more WWE RAW appearances frequently?
The answer, unfortunately, is no, at this time. As reported by Dr. Chris Featherstone, this appearance was a one-off affair only.
Still can't get over how AMAZING @RealKurtAngle looked on #WWERaw 🤩
