Former WWE star Sabu has explained that Kurt Angle's perfectionist attitude made him a little difficult to work with.Sabu and Angle were a part of WWE at the same time in the mid-2000s and the two had a match against each other on the company's ECW show. The match, which took place in 2006, ended when Rob Van Dam interfered and attacked both men.In a recent appearance on the Wrestle Buddy podcast, Sabu praised Angle's phenomenal in-ring ability, but was annoyed at the Olympic gold medalist's desire to fine-tune matches constantly."Kurt Angle. Yeah, he was kind of a pain in the a** to go over a match with, kind of. He was a great wrestler and a great worker, but a pain in the a** to go over a match with. He kept wanting to fine tune it, instead of letting us do it in the ring. Kept finer tuning it. Yes, [Kurt’s a perfectionist] but so am I but I’m still a professional. I know what I’m doing, you know? I’m a perfectionist too but part of my perfectionist is that I call it on my feet or take it by ear," said Sabu.
