WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has revealed that he wishes he could have won his final match at WrestleMania against Baron Corbin. Fans were disappointed when his opponent at the Showcase of the Immortals was revealed and even more upset when he lost. For what it's worth, it sounds like the Olympic Gold Medallist agrees. 

During a recent Q&A on his Facebook page, he said that "I would have liked to go out with a win, but I understand why it didn’t occur. But my argument as to why it should have been Corbin is pretty strong."
 
"It was my retirement match. As a legend or HOFer or- whatever you want to call me, my job is to leave the WWE by doing the honors for a younger talent. I did that. I would have loved to have won, but I don’t think I would have properly played my role if I did. You leave the company better than it was before you came."

It's a long-standing tradition in the wrestling business for a veteran wrestler to go out on a loss and Corbin can now spend months bragging about retiring Angle whereas a loss would have done him no favours whatsoever.
