WrestleMania is now right around the corner and the card is really starting to take shape. Ten matches have been announced for the two-night show, with some generating more hype than others. Well, actually, the WrestleMania announcement that may well have generated to most hype so far might not even be a match at all. Whatever Stone Cold and Kevin Owens have planned for the show, as whenever a legend returns for WrestleMania, it's almost always going to please the fans.
Kurt Angle At WrestleMania
A few years ago, Kurt Angle had that opportunity. In fact, the Olympian had the chance to compete at back-to-back WrestleManaias before hanging it up for good. First, a blockbuster match in which he teamed with Ronda Rousey to beat Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Then what wound up being a retirement match against Baron Corbin the following year, sadly not the John Cena dream match he actually wanted.

Despite his run of WrestleManias ending on a low note, Angle is still excited for this year's show. The Hall Of Famer talked all things WrestleMania on AM 560 Sports WQAM's The Zaslow Show, revealing the match he is looking forward to most is Charlotte Flair versus his old tag team partner, Rousey. “I'm excited about the WrestleMania card, I think Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair are probably going to steal the show,” Angle said.
The Better Flair
Angle isn't only excited about the SmackDown Women's Title match because his old pal Rousey is in it. He's also excited to see Charlotte, giving her high praise indeed. “Charlotte is one of the greatest to do it ever... I'm talking even better than her father.” That's quite the claim, and while it might be a controversial one to some, it's likely something Ric himself would agree with.
Charlotte tends to have fans pretty split when it comes to how she's viewed. You either dislike her for the push she gets from WWE, or you're on Angle's side and you think she is not only carrying on the Flair family name but taking it to new heights. Her clash with Rousey might well be the biggest match of her career to date, which is saying something considering everything she has done so far. It seems unlikely she'll be leaving WrestleMania with a win, though.
