Current WWE Titleholder Plays Down Kurt Angle Comparisons

One of the fastest rising stars in WWE has recently been compared to the legendary Kurt Angle. According to the star in question, these comparisons are flattering but not quite accurate.

Kendal Grey has a history of competing in amateur wrestling, similar to Kurt Angle. She was also a member of the USA National Team in 2018, which proves her skill. Kendal currently performs on the Evolve brand, where she is the brand’s reigning Women’s Champion.

The rising star recently spoke about the comparisons being made between her and Kurt Angle. Speaking on an interview on MUSCLE MEMORY with MuscleManMalcolm, she stated:

Well I definitely don’t have a gold medal at the Olympics, I will tell you that… I think being compared to him is like, obviously he’s one of the greats. So it is a cool comparison. But I try to just be different. You know I try to you know, I think for women’s wrestling in the women’s division, not many people come from an amateur wrestling background. So I would like to bring that into the Women’s division.”

According to Kendal Grey, her amateur wrestling background has helped her stand out in her pro-wrestling career.

Adding to her previous comments about being compared to Kurt Angle, she said:

Obviously women and men, even in amateur wrestling, like they wrestle so different. So I am just you know, trying to be different and I hope that I can you know, bring my own personality into it and you know, just, I don’t know, just have fun with it. I don’t wanna be compared to someone or feel like I have to live up to someone’s, you know, experience. I just wanna have my own experience and have fun, you know.”
