6. Kurt Angle Wants Stone Cold Steve Austin To Induct Him In The WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2017

During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, former WWF Champion Kurt Angle was asked who he wants to see induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2017.

Below is what Angle said:

“That’s a no-brainer. I had just started with WWE and had a program with Austin right after I beat Rock for the world title. I had a quick skit with Stephanie and Triple H, and then it was right on to Austin. We had some memorable feuds and some very funny segments, so he is at the top of my list.
Steve was one of the most giving individuals. He took me in and allowed me to shine even when it was still his time. I don’t ever compare myself to Stone Cold.
He is the guy who elevated wrestling to a level that nobody ever went before, but he enabled me to show my talents when he very well could have said no. He was a very giving individual, and he is one of the guys who had the biggest impact on my career.”
