5 reasons why Kurt Angle is the perfect WWE Raw general manager

#2 He brings mainstream media attention

When Angle was announced as the headliner of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2017, every media outlet covered it. WWE loves anyone who can bring more attention to the product.

Vince McMahon has always wanted WWE to be a bigger part of pop culture, so whenever the company gets attention from outlets like ESPN, NBC, Fox and CNN, it takes full advantage of the press.

Lest we forget, Angle is also a legitimate Olympic legend after winning a gold medal in 1996 with a broken neck. Winning the gold is a huge accomplishment on its own, but doing it with a significant injury makes you the toughest man alive.
