Kurt Angle still believes in Attitude, brother.
The Attitude Era is one of if not the highest peak professional wrestling has seen in its history. However, the in ring ability is the only asterisk on that time period.
Skip forward to today, and the in ring quality has never been better as WWE and AEW have put together rosters jam packed of talent.
Kurt Angle spoke in an interview with Grue Rume Show recently and noted that he believes that The Attitude Era in WWE had a better roster than the WWE and AEW rosters of today.
Both companies [AEW and WWE] have a lot of talent right now. I wouldn’t say they have the talent that we had back in the Attitude Era. Back then, everybody was a superstar. Lower card guys, middle card guys, the Godfather, Val Venis, Bob Holly, guys that were midcard and opening card guys were huge stars. Now, there are five or six top guys in the company that everyone knows and everyone else is not as recognized. Back then, we had a special group of guys. Don’t get me wrong, the guys today, they are much more athletic and do a lot more crazy stuff, more flips and acrobatic stunts. Hopefully, they’ll hone that in and come back to the way wrestling was where you have wrestling moves and stuff like that, not just stunts. I think everyone is doing a good job today in WWE and AEW,”

Kurt just recently had a Peacock documentary released about him, titled “Angle.”
