Kurt Angle sees big things in Chad Gable’s future
“Chad’s incredible. He’s a very talented kid, and I’m just glad that they’re utilizing him properly because I know he’s undersized a little bit,” Angle said during a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet. “They didn’t know what to do with him. But this kid could be a world champion and be very marketable.”
