In a conversation with Wrestling Life Online, Angle singled out Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson as two wrestlers whom he regards as the cream of the crop:
“The one guy that’s turning my head right now, and he continues to do it, is Kenny Omega. Him and Bryan Danielson, those two, I really think they’re the best today.”
In a recent Twitch stream, Kenny Omega reciprocated the admiration, labeling Angle as the greatest of all time.

Angle expressed gratitude for Omega’s acknowledgment and expressed regret that they never had the opportunity to face off in the ring:
“I’m very grateful that Kenny Omega actually said that I was the greatest of all time and that when he needs to watch film of wrestlers, I’m the one he watches.
It was like, ‘Wow,’ I feel the same way about him, you know, it’s a mutual respect, but I think both of us feel that would have had a five-star match if we were to wrestle.”
