Kurt Angle was recently interviewed by Forbes where he said John Cena will go down as the greatest of all time in WWE history. After receiving a bit of backlash for his comments on social media, Angle took to his website to explain in detail why he thinks of John Cena as WWE’s GOAT.

Here is what he said on his website: KurtAngleBrand.com:

“John Cena has been on top for 14 years. He’s been the “go to” guy for that long. Is he the best technical wrestler ever? No. Not even close. But what he’s been able to accomplish is unparalleled. The fact is, John Cena has consistently stayed healthy and stayed “out of trouble” for his entire career. Are there better wrestlers who have tied or even come close to his accomplishments? Yes. Ric Flair. HHH. Hogan. Undertaker. Orton. Is Ric Flair a better wrestler? Of course. So is Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold and HHH and Undertaker and, yes, even yours truly. But none of us were able to stay on top as the marquee guy for as long as Cena”

“Cena came into the company and became THE top guy from almost Day 1. Is it because he was marketable? Yes! He sells millions of dollars of merchandise each year. Has he sold as much as Stone Cold or The Rock did in their prime? Probably not. But was either Austin or The Rock main-eventing for 14 years straight? Unfortunately, no. I myself only went 7 years, and 2 of those years I was out with injury. I don’t believe Cena is the greatest “wrestler” of all time. Flair, Hart, Michaels, Austin, HHH, Undertaker and even myself might be able to stake that claim. But there are so many things that go into being WWE’s greatest ever. It’s not just the wrestling, it’s marketability. And add to that how much Cena has done for charity and kids, which is also unparalleled”
