Yeah angle is one of my top picks. Coincidentally he's commented recently he doesn't think it's fair for him to be in the GOAT convo bc he thinks he didn't have enough years (completely not true but it's his opinion) but for this tournament it's easy since his entire career was the 21st century

One thing that gets overlooked is how consistent Angle was in TNA. Some times its harder to carry that sort of company on your back than it is to shine in the WWE. Even his MEM run was pretty great.

And it's even more impressive (and sad because of the subject matter), when you know about what the whole Perc Angle thing was about and what else went on in his private life on top of that.

Takeshita will get his dues but he is still imo in the beginning phases of his career. No shame in losing to one of the goats

I haven’t taken a look at the brackets so I don’t know exactly how this will play out but I’ll be shocked if Angle doesn’t make it to at least the final four

When we re-do this in 10 years the conversation may be different. But Angle wins this one easy.

I said it in the chat the other day... prime Kurt vs. Takeshita would easily be a Match of the Century candidate. The future belongs to Takeshita, but Kurt's career, which almost completely happened in this century, is on a very, very high pedestal only a few can actually reach.
