“I think [Riddle’s] going to do fantastic,” Orton said. “I think he’s already outshined most of his little class of NXT that have come up over the last year.

On a recent episode of The Kurt Angle Show Podcast, the 1996 Olympic Gold Medal winner talked about Bill Goldberg and the reason he did not quite work out during his WWE run in the 2000s.
