During the show, Thomson was curious to know Samoa Joe’s opinion on the wrestling style of Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar. Joe has faced both Kurt Angle in TNA and Brock Lesnar in WWE.
Joe said, “I like Kurt (Angle) and Brock (Lesnar). Kurt’s an efficient cougar, like an efficient panther, he is a feline predator. Like quick kill, real slick, fastest. I’ve been around few world-class wrestlers of my time. Kurt’s still got that nice little drop double that just comes out of nowhere, real fast and real quick stuff.”

“Brock’s just Boxer Rampaging Bull [‘Raging Bull’ Jake LaMotta]. He’s the juggernaut, and he runs straight through things. What he can’t out-technique, he will out-power. So I think that’s the best way to describe the difference between Kurt and Brock is that, trust me you are dealing with predators just a slightly different species.”
Joe has the ultimate respect for both superstars. It is really nice that we got to see Samoa Joe facing Angle and Lesnar in his career.
