On The Kurt Angle Show, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently discussed his Ultimate Submission match against Chris Benoit. The bout took place at WWE Backlash 2001, where Benoit emerged as the winner.

On the subject of Ironman matches, Angle named Bret Hart as someone he would love to face in the ring:

"Bret Hart! Without a doubt! I would love to have one go with Bret Hart. It would have to be a 60-minute Ironman match. The longer, the better. I want it with Bret. Book it."

Angle and Hart have never wrestled each other, with the latter retiring from in-ring competition during the previous decade.

Alexa Bliss and The Fiend's WWE angle has led to extremely positive and negative reactions all across social media. On the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T gave his interesting take on the storyline.

The WWE legend believes that The Fiend's career isn't about wins and losses:

“I said it many, many time and I don’t know if anybody’s hearing me or not — The Fiend’s career is not about wins and losses. I don’t think it should be about wins and losses because I mean, we saw what happened. The Fiend got beat, lights go out, everybody disappeared, so did The Fiend really get beat? Could The Fiend have kicked out? Is The Fiend taking Randy Orton on a ride? What’s going to happen next? ‘To be continued!’ That’s the way I look at it.”

Booker T also seemed pretty optimistic about Alexa Bliss and Bray Wyatt's WWE future in the long run:

“But at the end of this thing, Alexa Bliss is gonna come out a better worker, a better student of the game and Bray Wyatt is just working on his craft. That’s the way I look at it.”

During the latest episode of WWE RAW, Alexa Bliss further descended into darkness and introduced a creepy doll named "Lily." Meanwhile, Bray Wyatt promised a new start for himself and his "fireflies" after Bliss unexpectedly betrayed The Fiend at WrestleMania 37.
