#1. Kurt Angle compares AJ Styles to fellow WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels

AJ Styles is often called the Shawn Michaels of this generation. This isn't a unique distinction in WWE, either, but a sentiment shared throughout professional wrestling as a whole.

Kurt Angle, a legendary performer in his own right, has been in the ring with both men throughout his career. The veteran believes that as impressive as Styles is in the squared circle, he has yet to reach Michaels' level of in-ring brilliance.

Here's what the WWE Hall of Famer had to say on the latest edition of The Kurt Angle Show:

"Listen, let me tell you something about AJ. Everybody has their best match with AJ. He has great chemistry with everybody. I wouldn't put him up there with Shawn Michaels yet, but eventually I will put him up there with Shawn Michaels. He is that good," said Angle.

While Angle and Michaels are retired from professional wrestling, AJ Styles remains one of the most prominent competitors on WWE RAW.

At 44 years old, however, it will be interesting to see how much longer The Phenomenal One can maintain his consistency in the ring.
