"He's one of those guys that kind of reminds me of Kurt Angle" – WWE Hall of Famer compares Bron Breakker to The Wrestling Machine
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair believes Bron Breakker is ready for a run on the main roster.
Earlier this week, Bron defeated Tommaso Ciampa to capture the NXT title at the New Year's Evil special event. The former NFL player has been on a rapid ascend since making his debut and has earned praise from numerous veterans and active wrestlers.
Ric Flair is the latest addition to the list of veterans impressed by the in-ring abilities of the up-and-coming star.
Speaking on the latest WOOOOO! The Nation's Uncensored podcast, The Nature Boy compared the second-generation star to Kurt Angle and said he's ready for the main roster:
“I think he’s great. I’ve only seen him twice but, to me, he should be on the [main] roster right now. The kid is a hell of an athlete, he’s only had 20 or 25 or 30 matches but, to me, he’s one of those guys that kind of reminds me of Kurt [Angle]." (H/T- wrestlinginc)
"He doesn’t blow up, he keeps going and that’s hard to do when you’re young. I would definitely give him a break on one of the rosters and get him going."
Bron Breakker was signed to WWE in February 2021, less than a year later he’s NXT champion.
Insane.
