On the latest episode of the Kurt Angle Show, the WWE Hall of Famer talked about Kenny Omega being sidelined with diverticulitis, and more. You can check out some highlights below:

On who he would book against from today’s wrestling: “Well, it’s a match that will probably never take place, but I would say Roman Reigns versus Kenny Omega [for] the world title. Now, I don’t think that’s ever going to happen unless Kenny Omega switches over to WWE. So it’s it’s probably not going to happen but man, I would love to see that match.”

On Omega’s diverticulitis diagnosis: “That’s a shame man, because that stuff is nasty. I mean, I remember when Brock [Lesnar] had to go through that. And it was a long time, he waited a long time. It takes a long bit of time to get through that.”

On his favorite match with Jeff Jarret: “Well, if there’s any match where I didn’t get hit by a guitar, that would be [it]. Because every time that bastard hit me with a guitar, I bled, all right? And it was a hardway [bleed], it really was. It really opened me up pretty badly. So I would say, I think there was one match we had where he didn’t use a guitar, and I would say that match, but I can’t remember it. I like working with Jeff.”
