Kurt Angle's rise to fame was his promo work in late 1999 and early 2000.

Winning King of the Ring 2000 didn't make Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle won King of the Ring 2000 because he was already a made man

That's what creative doesn't understand.

That people are really hoping that Gable will win the tournament baffles me. You'd whine after 2 weeks because he's so damn boring and generic. Seriously, his one defining trait is being short. And that is new.

But hey, gotta be a smark right?

Pretty much this.

The winner should totally be Corbin- guy have busted his ass in every position they put him in, always willing to put people over and can actually draw heat and will do something with this win. He retired Ange at mania and should really transition into a better spot.

Or maybe people actually like him? He is good on the mic (not great but good) and a good in ring worker as well. Can be a fun midcarder and heck stick Kurt Angle with him as his manager. Then have him fight Nakamura for the IC title. WWE barely give anyone characther, in NXT he showed his goofiness and had a charm. Also he is a former Olympian which really should be mentioned more.

Can we please just let him be the first Chad Gable? Kurt Angle is one of the greatest of all time, and the comparison doesn't do Gable any favors.

 

[Afrolatino]

Angle himself said in an interview two weeks ago that they should not compare Gable with him while parising his ring skills.
So this is pure WWE crappy pandering to nostalgia.

Gable has the potential to be on his level. He just needs to opportunity to be given so. Its a shame they're treating an Olympic level athlete, a legit shooter, like a fucking joke in these backstage segments but they're making up for it by pushing him.

Gable's a good wrestler but I'd rather see Corbin be King of the Ring.

You're really reaching hard there.

he's more charlie haas than kurt angle.

Chad will lose to Big Daddy Corbin just like Kurt did.

The King of the Ring favours people like Corbin, I think the possibilities for him winning far outweigh him losing. Plus I think Corbin can actually make thie king stuff work, he is already laughably cheesy.

Gable on the other hand will get a lot of exposure well enough from how far he's gotten in the tournament already, seeing if they keep up this momentum and don;t just forget about him after this tournament ends.

Also anyone calling Gable uncharismatic and boring haven't been watching very long or are just ignorant, because if you watched NxT back in the day you'd know he was actually very charismatic and quite entertaining. He just hasn't had the opportunity to show it on the main roster.

Corbin is still winning there is absolutely little sense in Gable winning unless he's Kurt Angle 2.0 from 2000, Gable isn't getting the Bret Hart push either.
