@RealKurtAngle and I were JUST talking about @ToBeMiro yesterday……..he’s is, and still the man. True story- Kurt wanted ‘RUSEV” to be his first match. One of the reasons why he wanted to go back. 💞

It would be the great match up between these two Superstars. It was big money match that Russian version of Rusev against the Patriotic Kurt Angle. But he had his last match against King Corbin at WrestleMania 35 in 2019.
