• The following are excerpts from a Kurt Angle interview with UK's "The Sun:"
  
  The Best Wrestler In The World:
  Honestly, when I'm healthy, I believe I'm the best in the world.
  
  People call me the "new era Ric Flair" and to be compared to Ric makes me ecstatic.
  
  I think Triple H, Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero are some of the best wrestlers around, and Randy Orton and Edge are coming on very well. But when it comes down to it I don't think anybody has as much technique, credibility and charisma as I do – I have the whole package.
  
  Favorite Match:
  My match with Chris Benoit at the Royal Rumble in 2003 was the best I've ever had.
  
  His Role As GM:
  No, I didn't like anything about my job!
  
  I know Vince McMahon wanted to keep me on TV – as I have a strong character – but there was not one thing I enjoyed about being general manager of Smackdown.
  
  They gave me a character where I was supposed to be very angry with everybody, and I felt I was painted into a corner where I didn't have many dimensions.
  
  RAW or SmackDown?
  I think we are already getting better than Raw, it's just that right now they have more notoriety names.
  
  But does Raw have better wrestlers – hell no!
  
  Guys like John Cena, Luther Reigns, Mark Jindrak and Charlie Haas are really going to start stepping up for us and Booker T is on the verge of superstar status.
  
  WM21 Main-Event:
  I would love to do a programme with The Undertaker, as we haven't done anything solid for about three years.
  
  I know the fans want to see new guys coming in – and Smackdown is all about creating new superstars for them to cheer or boo – so Undertaker and I will do our share of making other wrestlers into stars.
  
  But I think at an event like WrestleMania it should be the two biggest names going at it.
  
  And right now the two people on the top of their games are me and The Undertaker, so I'd like to face him and he feels the same way.
  
  Brock Lesnar's Decision To Leave:
  It hurt when Brock left as we were best friends and, at that point, we were also carrying the company.
  
  However I also wanted Brock to be happy and he wasn't. But I think one day he'll remember that old saying – "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone".
