During the most recent episode of his podcast The Kurt Angle Show, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle gave his take on a current Smackdown star using The Angle Slam. Apollo Crews has used the move multiple times in recent weeks, and Kurt explained why he has no problem with that. The WWE Grand Slam Champion told listeners:
“I got heat from Randy for tweeting out one time that he stole my finish, and I told him that I was just kidding. But he was pretty pissed off but I was just kidding. You know, anybody that wants to come up with a move or wants to do somebody’s move, as long as you’re not in that company, you might as well use it. So, if Apollo wants to use it, I’m retired. So, it might as well remind people of what I did in the past, and it will make my legacy carry on to some extent. I’m glad Apollo is using it”.
Apollo Crews will face off against Big E at Wrestlemania for the Intercontinental Championship, in a Nigerian Drum Fight. Big E took some time to share his thoughts on the unique stipulation, and told SportsKeeda:
“If I’m being honest, I don’t know what a Nigerian Drum Match is. I don’t know, but I can tell you this, I’m gonna do some research. I’m gonna reach out to some historians. I’m going to hit the Google machine very hard. I might have to learn on the fly because no one has explained this to me. I can assure you, though, I’m sure it will be brutal. There’ll be some violence, I’m sure. But, yeah, I wish I had an answer for you”.
