WWE Raw General Manager Kurt Angle recently guested on an interview Q&A session with iPlay America and he spoke at length about replacing his kayfabe son Jason Jordan with Triple H on the Raw Team at Survivor Series. In the interview, he also spoke about Jordan’s potential with the company.
Here’s his quote: (H/T transcription Aaron Varble of WrestlingNews.Co)
“Well, I wasn’t happy about it. When you have Triple H on your team, though he’s really hard to deal with, he’s one of the best ever. Honestly, I don’t know if we would have won without Triple H. Obviously, Triple H wanted to win himself, but that’s typical Triple H. It was tough, I mean, Jason is my son and I want to help him the most I can.”
“I can’t believe I’m saying this” Angle continued as he laughed a little bit. “You know this was a big prank that Vince had. I looked at him like you’re serious? When did I get her pregnant, in college? And she was black? The joke is on me but honestly, I’m not going to lie to you, I really hope that this storyline turns into a match with Jason.”
“Whether you like his character or not, you can’t deny that he is right now one of the top three best wrestlers in the company. Watch him perform, watch him perform. He’s up there with AJ Styles. He has a different style, but you will see Jason Jordan as world champion eventually. I know that people can’t stand him right now and I’m not sure if it’s because he’s my son, but his performance in the ring, it doesn’t get much better than that.”
