Kurt Angle’s advice to Gable Steveson
WWE Hall of Famer had words of advice for Gable Steveson. He explained how pro-wrestling’s scenario was totally different to that of amateur wrestling.
Angle highlighted the difference in emotions required for both the disciplines.
Here is what Angle had to say, while speaking on the Jobbing Out Podcast:
“In amateur wrestling, you don’t show emotion… In pro wrestling, you have to show a lot of emotion. You have to show when you’re angry, you’re scared, p*ssed off, happy, excited. It crosses over to the fans, so I had to forget everything I ever learned. Especially my moves because I was very aggressive in amateur wrestling and I had to pull back a little bit and say, ‘Okay, let me give my body to the guys that are in the ring with me.’”
