Kurt Angle was recently interviewed by Busted Open with Dave LaGreca and Larry Dallas(on SiriusXM Rush 93). Angle was discussing his thoughts on Roman Reigns. He ended up comparing Reigns to Cena when he first started with the WWE back in 2002.

Angle had some big praise for Cena and his longevity:
“John was a little green but he stepped up and took him bumps and his lumps. When I wrestled him it was his first time, his first match. You see him then, he still had a great match with me, but you see him now and it’s worlds apart. The kid improved every single year, and I can’t believe he’s been able to do this for 14 years”
He continued:
“I was on year seven and I was spent. I was done. I just couldn’t hand anymore. And I look at John Cena and I’m like, damn. Whether he’s a real life badass, he’s a badass in my eyes because nobody has done it this long. Not Austin, not Rock — consistently, even Undertaker. Taker had a nice run in the 90’s and 2000’s but then he became part-time. Cena has been full-time for almost 14 years.”
