I've met this man at 5am in NY/Newark Airport after WrestleMania... I've never been so nervous to approach someone who was interacting with my 5yo son... This man is a straight up Humble, American Hero
Heck yeah! He once came into the Joe's Crab Shack I worked at for a pickup order (king crab dinners, of course). I went out to just tell him I loved his work. He was nice, shook my hand and thanked me, and I left it at that :)
Angle had everything. Incomparable timing in comedy and in the ring, having some of the best matches with myriad of fellow Hall of Famer’s like Austin, Hogan, Rock, Sting, taker, HBK, Cena, Orton and so many more. I wish we got to see Kurt vs Bret
Iron shiek did an interview with Sean Oliver(the one where he plays "What's In The Bag"), and u can tell Shiek had his " medicine" before the interview started lol
Kurt sounds like a really good and nice guy. He understands wrestling and he respects the business. Also, he's amazing in the ring and got amazing and funny promos.
Respect for anyone in the wrestling business but especially Kurt. I'll always remember when he was a heel and his theme song and the crowd would chant "you suck" 🤣
Lol facts bro he's totally loaded. Apparently he used to take up to 65 a day which is amazing without overdosing. If he took them all at once it be a different story glad he's doing better nowadays.
I never appreciated Angel at the time but honestly he should be discussed as a serious candidate as the best ever. Athletic, can do all the styles, high flying, technical, grappler, the slams. Great heel. Maybe other guys are better on the mic or cut better promos or were even better characters but it’s not like Angel is bad at that stuff.
I was JUST thinking about that, he’s no a high flyer but he was a GREAT tactical wrestler now thinking about it, all his matches from 1999 - 2007 he was on 🔥
The way the feud intertwined between Jericho and angle wanting triple h taken out it would if made sense for it to be a triple threat match and have triple h overcome huge odds to win his big comeback title, payoff would of felt better
Damn you can tell he is all pilled out in this video. He has oxy eyes and the node scratch to boot. I’m glad he is clean now because he is a living legend❤️
One of my favorite WWE memories involves Kurt Angle. We had gotten some pretty crap tickets to the first PPV show in Dallas. Fully Loaded from Reunion Arena (circa 2000). Then, as we pull up to the show, my buddy who worked for the local rock station (97.1 KEGL if you care) called me and asked if we'd gone in the building yet. I said no. He told me to meet him at a certain gate and gave us 2 tickets for floor seats, right by the ramp. This is also my first ever WWE show. I'd seen lots of wrestling over the years. Von Erichs when I was a boy, local matches in Fort Worth. But I'd never seen a WWE (well, WWF at the time) show before. It was incredible. Great roster, great matches, some of my lifelong favorites right there, bigger than life. Then, Angle and 'Taker have their match start. Which is already huge because obviously I'm a fan of both guys. But during their match, 'Taker hurls Kurt into our row! He's right there in front of me while they're brawling. So much fun. After that I said I would always upgrade to floor seats if it were possible, because there's just nothing else like it. If you have the chance and the means, I highly recommend it. Not sure what's going on in WWE lately, I haven't had time to watch. But no matter what, there's nothing like a live wrestling show.
It’s sad that this is the most clear I’ve heard Angle speak in like 10 years he seems to have trouble even speaking nowadays just hope that he doesn’t regret sacrificing his own well being to entertain us cause he’s gonna live the rest of his life in serious pain
Kurt in his prime vs Bret Hart in his prime is the ultimate dream match for me They could match each other hold for hold on the mat of the wring and keep the crowd on the edge of their seats with a series of take downs quick covers submission holds I could just see it in my head happening at wrestlemania
Despite all of his talents, I always felt Kurt spent most of his career as the ultimate jobber to the stars. He always seemed to be around the top of the card in storyline, but was constantly putting everyone else over.
Its sounds like Kurt's journey describing the dynamic w/ Steve Austin thats going on rn on RAW with Riddle and Orton, Vince probably says the same thing about Riddle "he's a dangerous moron"
In my opinion, Kurt Angle should have won the Undisputed Championship that night and faced Triple H at WrestleMania 18 instead of Jericho. Not only that, and even though Triple H did feud with Angle before WrestleMania 18, they should have picked up right where they left off with their 2000 love triangle storyline that ended abruptly. That was a missed opportunity.
GOAT. Not HBK, not Flair, and not even Bret and Owen. Kurt was better than all of them AND was money on the mic AND was the most legit ever. Only remote competition is Macho Man when it comes to overall ability.
@@bradlee5874 he didn't sly Cena tho he just said he tasked to teaching him how to work at the time because he was over but still very green and then he literally said he was so proud of him and he is teaching himself to be great now.
Angle looks like an older more jacked version of Corey Haim. 🤣 But definitely one of my all time favorites. 👍 The match he put on with Shane at KOTR was insane!
Angle really screwed himself letting Jericho win the undisputed title though. Angle was stuck working KANE at Wrestlemania 3 months later while Jericho was in the main event.
i forgot the wrestler who said this it isnt the belt holder the most impt person of the company but the one being trusted to make their opponent look good is the most impt wrestler
Damn, would have loved having Angle beat Rock and Austin instead of Jericho, gave him way too much ego after that, Angle would just have been more to my liking since he's a favourite of mine.
It makes sense his role changed to put others over. He would obviously destroy almost anyone in a shoot wrestle so they had fun with it. Still a monster in the ring
Undersized and wrestled everybody Austin was afraid to with similiar injuries that austin used as excuses. True respect ! Now that’s an 🇺🇸 ! Oh it’s true!
John may be good wrestler but when comes to business I always find it stupid that he let a man own his name Vince owns his real birth name I don’t understand how u of that to the point of he makes that man millions and millions every movie I believe it was 20 % he talks about it on the Howard sterns podcast
Lol Cena ain't that great of a wrestler my guy. Sounds like you have a hard on for baby faces. 👶 John Cena was the modern day hulk Hogan. Can talk on the mic. Got a gimmick that appealed to younger/ family oriented people, sold a shitload more merchandise than anyone else. Did shitty movies. And as brett hart said 1/10 wrestler
@@mikehunt8247 Cena doesn’t have a thread of the Charisma that Hogan had. Check out Hulk’s reception after returning to the WWF in 2002. Hulk had the the men, women and the children.
kinda hard to watch as this was clearly during angles abuse issues. anyone whos ever done pills can tell hes awfully fucked up during this lol. glad he got his life together.

They’ll never be another kurt angle. Somebody who could be so comical yet retain an absolute killer aura when he stepped in the ring.
A comedy act outside the ring. A destroyer of worlds inside the ring.
Dangerous Dork as Vince put it
There will never **

Kurt is such a good guy. He really understands things. He is very respectful in person too. 🙏
He a Pennsylvanian lol just like me

Perc angle right here
Yea, u can tell he's pulled up a lil bit, good interview though!
Definitely seems fuzzy
Iron shiek did an interview with Sean Oliver(the one where he plays "What's In The Bag"), and u can tell Shiek had his " medicine" before the interview started lol
That should say pilled up lol
No. That glow in his eyes is his wrestling prowess 🤣
Kurt sounds like a really good and nice guy. He understands wrestling and he respects the business. Also, he's amazing in the ring and got amazing and funny promos.
He made Cena look good in his first match. Gotta respect the business and Angle certainly did that! A true pro!
Respect for anyone in the wrestling business but especially Kurt. I'll always remember when he was a heel and his theme song and the crowd would chant "you suck" 🤣
I love how even later in his career, he embraced the "you suck" chants as GM
Kurt always seems so humble despite the fact he is one of the greatest WWF/WWE stars of all time
He's pill drunk here
Kurt as first unified champ wouldve been cool
Rumor has it if you stare directly into Kurt's eyes long enough here, you'll start to feel the effects of Vicodin.
Lol facts bro he's totally loaded. Apparently he used to take up to 65 a day which is amazing without overdosing. If he took them all at once it be a different story glad he's doing better nowadays.
@Marc Carran Pretty sure he’d admit it himself.
@Marc Carran Uhh, he literally made a career out of taking the piss out of himself.
@Marc Carran You didn’t like the joke bud. You’ve made that known. You can now move along. Maybe go to a party. I’m sure you’re a blast at them. 👍
@Marc Carran Thanks for making my point. 😂
This is Perc Angle. Look at his eyes
Definitely medicated.
Listen to his voice, no doubt about it
Not saying he wasnt but he could just be tired you know ?

@@POSITIVE_TALKS24 not a traditional high flyer* Kurt can still give you a picture perfect moonsault and launch over top rope
@@BlackLightning522 yeah he's not Jeff Hardy or RVD but a great moonsault and drop kick. He had no probs using the top rope. A genuine all rounder.
Probably the prettiest moonsault I have ever seen
Kurt was absolutely amazing on the mic
U can tell why McMahon wanted kurt back. His brains about wrestling and the business is just brilliant.
GGMU
No disrespect to Y2J, but Angle vs HHH at WrestleMania X8 would’ve been a way better main event.
The way the feud intertwined between Jericho and angle wanting triple h taken out it would if made sense for it to be a triple threat match and have triple h overcome huge odds to win his big comeback title, payoff would of felt better
Still would have had to follow hogan Rock…
@@GerardMichaels that should’ve been the main event…
Kurt was one of the best to combine comedy and intensity.

It’s sad that this is the most clear I’ve heard Angle speak in like 10 years he seems to have trouble even speaking nowadays just hope that he doesn’t regret sacrificing his own well being to entertain us cause he’s gonna live the rest of his life in serious pain
Kurt your a gentle man and a scholar!
John became incredible later inring around 2014-15, so many new moves + that inredible roll-over AA.
Kurt in his prime vs Bret Hart in his prime is the ultimate dream match for me
They could match each other hold for hold on the mat of the wring and keep the crowd on the edge of their seats with a series of take downs quick covers submission holds I could just see it in my head happening at wrestlemania

I agree, never hit that #1 guy level but was always there when someone else hit it. Often with his help.
Hardly. He was world champ numerous times.
He beat guys like Brock and Austin clean. Hardly jobbed out.
Brock said the same thing in his book. Vince never saw Kurt as his #1 guy.
Can't call him a jobber. What a stupid statement.
Its sounds like Kurt's journey describing the dynamic w/ Steve Austin thats going on rn on RAW with Riddle and Orton, Vince probably says the same thing about Riddle "he's a dangerous moron"
I HATED Kurt when I was a kid. Just shows how great of a heel this guy was! So much respect and great memories of this guy!
In my opinion, Kurt Angle should have won the Undisputed Championship that night and faced Triple H at WrestleMania 18 instead of Jericho. Not only that, and even though Triple H did feud with Angle before WrestleMania 18, they should have picked up right where they left off with their 2000 love triangle storyline that ended abruptly. That was a missed opportunity.
HHH didn’t want that. He was jealous of him.
Jericho also suggested to bring in a love triangle storyline in their feud, but Triple H shot it down.
That's a really cool butterfly effect to think of Angle with the undisputed title run
Angle is a once in a lifetime wrestler.
GOAT.
Not HBK, not Flair, and not even Bret and Owen. Kurt was better than all of them AND was money on the mic AND was the most legit ever. Only remote competition is Macho Man when it comes to overall ability.
Ya right.
This was angle after his first WWE run am actually amazed that he didn't try to bury anyone just because he was working for another company
He did though back in 2006. You can see the interview somewhere on here. He slighted Batista, Cena and even Mark Henry.
@@bradlee5874 he didn't sly Cena tho he just said he tasked to teaching him how to work at the time because he was over but still very green and then he literally said he was so proud of him and he is teaching himself to be great now.
