There’s been a lot of discussion this week about Roman Reings’ WWE Title reign and whether or not it was the right decision to have him retain at WrestleMania against Cody Rhodes.
On the latest “Kurt Angle Show,” Kurt Angle gave his thoughts on Reigns retaining the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 39
“I’m not going to beat up on Roman Reigns because he is the man. He deserves to be,” Angle said. “But we’re in a time now where if you’re a champion for three years, that’s a little long. It’s just too long because we’re not in territories anymore. When you were in territories, you weren’t on TV every week so fans had to come see you at the arenas. You would only be in that city one day a week. So they only saw wrestling one day a week back then when they were champion for six, eight years.”
Angle continued, “Now Roman Reigns has gone on, you know, it looks like he’s gonna hold the title for another few years. The thing is, he’s on TV every week, sometimes twice a week, and then a pay-per-view every month. It’s just a lot. I don’t believe the ratings are gonna go down, but I do believe some people are going to lose interest because they’re not making other wrestlers. Roman has an opportunity to make a wrestler. He could have made Cody into a megastar, which Cody is already a star, but he would have been a megastar if he would have won at WrestleMania. That’s just my opinion.”
