WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently addressed one of his fellow WWE Hall of Famer and called him one of the best heels ever. Angle himself had been a consistent heel throughout most time period of his professional wrestling career. He worked as both baby face and heel but he earned more success as a heel.
Kurt Angle also talked about one of the worst gimmicks in WWE history. Here he talked about the infamous blade job of Eddie Guerrero from the Judgement Day pay per view event of 2004 where he dropped the WWE championship. Speaking on his latest episode of his podcast “The Kurt Angle Show” the Olympic gold medallist said;
Kurt Angle Calls WWE Hall Of Famer One Of The Best Heels Ever, Check Out Who
On the cut that Guerrero had when he bladed: “Worst gimmick I’ve ever seen. The worst cut ever. He hit an artery, and it would not stop bleeding. It was just pulsating out. I mean, it was horrible. I mean, there was so much blood in the ring and all over Eddie and Bradshaw it was ridiculous.
The Olympic Gold Medallist and the former five times WWE World Champion continued, “It was like half of Eddie’s blood from his body came out of his body. It was crazy. I’ve never seen anything like it before in my life because he didn’t get rushed to the hospital. The dude is getting lightheaded or something.”
Kurt Angle Shares Praise For JBL As A Heel
The event Eddie Guerrero did this infamous blade job was Judgment Day 2004 which was a Smackdown based PPV and he dropped the WWE title to Hall of Famer JBL. Speaking of JBL, he is one of the best heels in the history of WWE according to Kurt Angle. The former WCW World Champion said;
On JBL being a top heel: “JBL was rarely ever a heel. You know, his APA run, they were usually babyfaces. They were over [APA as babyfaces]. I mean, probably better than anybody ever in the history of the business [JBL’s heel turn]. Bradshaw was one of the best heels I’ve ever seen in my life. He was very unlikable. OK, That’s one thing about him. Bradshaw was hated. I mean, he had, he had so much heat, you know? It was pathetic. He’s the master of talking.”
JBL’s World title was only 10 months long and that was it for his main event run. After dropping the title at WrestleMania 21 to John Cena, he never got his main event status back and in only one year time, he had to retire from in ring action due to an injury. But in a very short amount of time he managed to generate a lot of heat and he would remembered as one of the best heels ever.
