Kurt Angle Preference: WWE Royal Rumble over Traditional Battle Royals

Kurt Angle, the celebrated WWE Hall of Famer, holds a clear preference for the Royal Rumble match over a traditional Battle Royal, citing a couple of factors that set them apart. Despite not clinching a victory in any of the five Rumbles he competed in, Angle revealed his strong inclination towards the Royal Rumble during an episode of "The Kurt Angle Show." According to the Olympic gold medalist, Battle Royals were comparatively easier for him.

He noted that the main challenge lay in maintaining an impeccable memory to ensure the correct order of eliminations. Angle remarked, "They were easy. They weren't much of a challenge for me. The only thing you had to do is have an incredible memory because you have to make sure you don't eliminate a person out of order."

However, Angle expressed his discontent with the format of the Battle Royal due to the fact that all participants were present in the ring simultaneously.

In contrast, he praised the Royal Rumble format for its distinctive entrance spots, highlighting the opportunity it provided for each wrestler to shine individually. "I like that [Royal Rumble] better than everybody in the ring all at the same time.

I do like that because you're showcasing each individual," Angle stated. While Angle never attained his desired Royal Rumble victory, his illustrious career in WWE saw him triumph in numerous other prestigious events, including the King of the Ring tournament in 2000.

Being recognized as the company's fifth Grand Slam Champion and inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2017, Angle's accomplishments speak volumes about his remarkable contributions to professional wrestling. In summary, Kurt Angle's fondness for WWE's Royal Rumble over a traditional Battle Royal stems from his belief that the former offers a greater challenge and a platform to highlight the unique talents of each individual wrestler.

Despite not securing a Royal Rumble victory, Angle's storied career and remarkable accolades have solidified his place among the all-time greats in WWE history.
