Former WWE/TNA wrestler Ken Anderson (fka Mr. Kennedy) recently made an appearance on Kurt Angle’s podcast, where he spoke about a wide range of topics, including training Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson as a professional wrestler and the progress the latter has made. He said,
“He’s really taken to it. He’s one of those guys, I remember, he took his first bump, and I told him, ‘Get up this way,’ and he got up the wrong way. Before I even said anything, he just went, ‘Oh–‘ reversed himself back down and did it almost perfectly the first time.”
“People will often say that Kurt took to the business like nobody they’ve ever seen before, that he got it immediately, and you got not only the athletic side of things, but you got the showmanship, the storytelling, and the character stuff. I feel like Gable is on that path. He can do great things. He’s young. He’s very young, but he’s already a man. You know, he’s very young, but when I’m talking to him, he seems you’re talking to an old soul like he’s in his 30s.”
