The Crown Jewel World Cup Tournament was scoffed at by many fans from the very start, especially as it didn't feature any international competitors or WWE's champions. However, things ended in a controversial fashion when The Miz was unable to compete against Dolph Ziggler in the finals, something which resulted in Shane McMahon taking his place and becoming the "best in the world."
Angle was knocked out in the first round when he lost to Ziggler and during a recent Facebook Q&A, the Olympic Gold Medallist shared his thoughts on Shane ultimately managing to win the contest.
"Shane has proven himself to be a great sports entertainer," Angle said. "I would have preferred him to earn the World Cup Title by wrestling in the tournament though." That's a sentiment echoed by a lot of fans but it's been said that this is all part of a planned heel turn for Shane so there could be a good reason for him winning by the time all is said and done. Time will tell, I guess.
