#4 Kurt Angle called out WWE Superstars for using his finisher

Known as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, Kurt Angle is seen as the finest Superstar WWE has ever produced. Angle’s past in amateur wrestling helped him learn the ropes of professional wrestling and win several titles in WWE.

Angle had a phenomenal wrestling career inside and outside WWE, and retired at WrestleMania 35 after over two decades. While Angle made several friends along the way, he was unhappy with a couple of WWE Superstars who started using his moves in the ring.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

Angle’s signature Angle Slam and Ankle Lock helped him win several matches during his career, and other Superstars started using similar moves. During an interview with New York Post, the Olympic Gold Medalist called out Jack Swagger and Randy Orton for using his moves in WWE.

“When Jack Swagger copies my ankle lock and Randy Orton does my Angle Slam, it’s disrespectful. I didn’t come up with the Ankle Lock, Ken Shamrock came up with the Ankle Lock but I waited until he retired to do the Ankle Lock. That company has no respect for me.”

Angle was not contracted with WWE at the time and did not like Superstars using his moves in his absence.
