Kurt Angle Warns 51-Year-Old Ray Lewis Over Potential RAF Match

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 21

Summary

  • Kurt Angle said Ray Lewis would struggle in a Real American Freestyle bout, warning the 51-year-old NFL great could get hurt against elite freestyle wrestlers.
  • Angle said Lewis' high school wrestling background may not be enough because RAF matches are "real" Olympic-style contests, even if Lewis joins partly to represent the promotion.
  • The warning follows reports last week that RAF was in talks to book Lewis for a match before year-end, though no deal had been finalized.
  • Angle, an Olympic gold medalist and former RAF commentator, said he was cut for budget reasons without hard feelings and still expects the league to grow globally.
  • RAF, launched last year by Hulk Hogan, Chad Bronstein, Izzy Martinez and Eric Bischoff, airs on Fox Nation and holds RAF14 in Las Vegas on Oct. 23.
