Matt Riddle recently spoke with Vicente Beltrán of ViBe & Wrestling about Kurt Angle revealing that he turned the role to be the manager of Riddle on SmackDown.
Here is what he had to say:
“To be honest I didn’t know anything because I’m always a bit in the dark every time I go to work,” Riddle said. “No one told me but Kurt and I did talk and I analyzed it and he also said that I could not do it because now he has another company on his hands, he is working outside the company and it will be like that for a while because he does not want to fail and he wants to have his mind only on that.”
“Anyways that wouldn’t hurt, you know… he is Kurt Angle, he is a stallion but if you ask me if I need a manager or a mouth piece or someone like that who speaks for me I would say no,” Riddle said. “I think I know myself well enough and I can handle it and speak for myself.
“If you tell me down the line… maybe a manager is a good idea and I wouldn’t say no, of course, it’s Kurt Angle, but now I don’t think I need anyone, I think for the moment being myself and getting the people to know me like that is what I want and I don’t think I need a manager.”
