Kurt Angle Believes WWE Should 'Tread Very Lightly' With Moving Away From Indy Talent

Kurt Angle told Wrestling Inc that WWE should tread very lightly from moving away from indie talent in favor of pure athletes who have no pro wrestling background.

Here is what he said:

"I would tread very lightly on that because there are a lot of incredible independent wrestlers,” Angle noted. “Wrestlers that never did any real sport but they’re very good at their craft, and I would like to see the percentage. Fortunately, for me, I was a real athlete and won a gold medal at the Olympics. These kids that are trained to be pro wrestlers and working at the independent shows, they’re doing a lot of the work and they’re crafting their skills and their character. I don’t know how much character development occurs down at NXT, but I think a lot of character development occurs in independent shows."
