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.”

The WWE star also talked about her wrestling style
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.”
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Kendal Grey in WWE.
Kurt Angle wrestled plenty of WWE Hall of Famers throughout his legendary career, but there is one name he wishes he could have shared the ring with.
WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently spoke with Sports Illustrated. While discussing his admiration for Bret Hart, Angle makes it clear heâ€s the one man he wishes he couldâ€ve competed against, believing the two of them would have had a 5-star classic.
“Bret Hart, I would have loved to wrestle Bret,†Kurt Angle said. “I talk about technical matches; he had some of the best, and heâ€s my kind of style. Thatâ€s my kind of guy that I like to work with. I think Bret and I would have had a five-star, incredible match.†[H/T: Fightful]
Kurt Angle has high praise for Bret Hartâ€s biggest rival
In the same interview, Angle put over the art of technical wrestling but made a case for Shawn Michaels as the best overall performer in pro wrestling history.
“Oh, I love technical wrestlers,†Kurt Angle said. “Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, the technical wrestlers. Undertaker was a great technical wrestler. Stone Cold Steve Austin. There were a lot of great ones. Now, The Rock could be technical, but he was more of an action-packed kind of guy, and I love working with him, because his pace was unbelievable, and thatâ€s what I liked was a high-paced match.
“But no, I like technical-style matches the most. I have to say my best matches were with Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero. Overall, I consider Shawn [Michaels] to be the greatest in the sport. If youâ€re talking looks, promo skills, and wrestling ability, everything wrapped into one, that guy is perhaps the best of all time.†[H/T: Fightful]

Kurt Angle praised The Rock during a recent interview, mentioning that it’s “really cool” he plays Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine.
During an interview with Sports Illustrated, Angle spoke about how when he first got to WWE, Rock made sure Angle know he was accepted.
Angle said:
“The cool thing about him is he was really giving. I was an Olympic gold medalist, it wasnâ€t like I was a nobody coming into WWE but when you go in there with an ego youâ€re going to get in trouble very quickly. So I never had that ego and I always felt that these stars that I was going to wrestle like The Rock and Stone Cold, I put them at a higher level above me. But Dwayne always brought me up to that level and said, ‘Hey, youâ€re with us. Youâ€re up here with us. Youâ€re not down there with the rest.’”
He continued:
“He was always very generous with the way he wrestled. He was my first world championship match where I won the world championship. He didnâ€t have to say yes, but he did. So Iâ€m just very grateful. I think The Rock has done so much for my career and Iâ€m so grateful that heâ€s in the movie The Smashing Machine, that he played Mark Kerr. Itâ€s all coming back, itâ€s going full circle and I think thatâ€s really cool that heâ€s playing my biggest nemesis Mark Kerr.”
Angle defeated The Rock at No Mercy on October 22, 2000 to win his first world championship. Rock won it back from him that February at No Way Out. In total, they wrestled against each other on 7 pay-per-views between 2000 and 2002.
Also during the interview, Angle gave an update on the movie being written about his life, saying that the script is just about finished.
“Weâ€re almost done with the script. We already got the investors, so weâ€re in a good position right now,” Angle said.
In a previous interview on Talk is Jericho, Angle noted that the film will cover the story of his Olympic gold medal win in 1996. The project will be directed by the Nelms brothers, who directed Red Right Hand (2024) and Fatman (2020).
The full interview is available below:

Kurt Angle has explained how The Rock helped his career.
The WWE Hall of Famer recently had an interview with Sports Illustrated. He talked about things such as making a movie about his life, his start in WWE and more.
During the talk, the former world champion was asked if he had any stories he wanted to share about The Rock. Kurt Angle said that he can’t remember a story but he remembers The Hollywood star being very generous during their interactions:
“Rock and I had such a blast. I don’t have any stories, but the cool thing about him is he was really giving. I was an Olympic Gold medallist. It wasn’t like I was a nobody coming into WWE.
But when you go in there and you go in there with an ego, you’re going to get in trouble very quickly. So I never had that ego. I always felt that these stars that I was going to wrestle like the Rock and Stone Cold, I put them at a higher level above me.”
You’re With Us: Kurt Angle
The wrestling veteran explained that The Rock always treated him as an equal despite his limited experience in the business. Kurt Angle also recalled pinning The Great One to win his first world title in the company:
“But Dwayne always brought me up to that level and said, ‘Hey, you’re with us, you’re up here with us, you’re not down there with the rest.’ So, he was always very generous with the way he wrestled.
He allowed….he was my first world championship match where I won the world championship. He didn’t have to say yes, but he did. So I’m just very grateful. I think the Rock has done so much for my career.”
Kurt Angle is making a movie about his life.
The Olympic Gold Medallist recently had an interview with Sports Illustrated. He talked about things such as his start in wrestling, how The Rock treated him early in his career and more.
During the interview, the former World Champion also discussed the Smashing Machine movie based on the life of his former rival Mark Kerr. When asked if we’ll ever see his own life story being shown on the big screen like that, Kurt Angle revealed that he’s actually working on a movie based on his life:
“Yeah, you know what, we are working on that movie. I have the directors Ian and Eshom Nelms, they’re brothers.
They were former wrestlers in high school and college. So they understand my sport. We’ve been talking to each other. We’re almost done with the script.”
Before We Do Anything: Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle did not reveal which periods of his life the movie will cover. He explained that the project is in the pre-production stage right now, and they want to perfect the script before doing anything else:
“We already got the investors. So we’re in a good position right now, but we’re gonna make sure the script’s perfected before we do anything, before we pick the cast and everything like that.
So we’re taking our time and knowing the Smashing Machine just came out. It might be a good time to breathe a little bit, let that movie digest, and then continue on.
But yeah, the crazy thing is, ironically, Mark Kerr and I are doing a movie, and we wrestled each other for the Olympic team, and it’s just really ironic that his story’s coming out close to mine.”
Former MLB catcher Kurt Suzuki interviewed Friday for the San Francisco Giants’ managerial vacancy, FanSided’s Robert Murray reported.
The news comes four days after the Giants announced former manager Bob Melvin’s dismissal after two seasons.
Suzuki played for five clubs through 16 seasons in MLB from 2007 to 2022. He has spent the last three years working with the Los Angeles Angels as a special assistant to general manager Perry Minasian.
Perry’s brother, Zack Minasian, was promoted to serve as the Giants’ general manager ahead of the 2025 season.
Suzuki earned an All-Star nod with the Minnesota Twins in 2014 and won a World Series with the Washington Nationals in 2019.
He retired in 2022 after two final seasons with the Angels, then transitioned to the club’s front office.
Although Suzuki has no previous managerial experience, his recent work as an MLB catcher could potentially make him a strong candidate for the Giants.
The San Francisco Chronicle‘s Susan Slusser noted earlier Friday that president of baseball operations Buster Posey, who starred as the Giants’ catcher for 12 seasons between 2009 and 2021, has a pattern of considering recently-retired catchers for leadership positions.
Slusser noted that the club interviewed former Giants catcher Stephen Vogt, now manager of the Cleveland Guardians, as a managerial candidate before hiring Melvin in 2023.
According to Slusser, former minor-league catcher and Guardians associate manager Craig Albernaz is also “likely to get a look” amid the Giants’ search for a new manager.
Posey initially said after Melvin’s dismissal on Monday that the Giants are “looking to find a different voice that can take us in a different direction.”
That likely won’t involve a reunion with former Giants manager Bruce Bochy. Posey told reporters Wednesday he doesn’t expect to pursue Bochy, who recently parted ways with the Texas Rangers, as a candidate.
