‘I was a liability' - Kurt Angle provides honest take on his WWE comeback and more
Image via WWE Wrestling icon Kurt Angle has never shied away from telling it like it is. In a recent series of interviews, the Olympic gold medallist pulled no punches as he opened up on his complex WWE journey, controversial creative calls, and why he still hopes WWE acquires TNA Wrestling's library. Angle kicked things off by taking a light-hearted dig at The Undertaker's long-held backstage image. 'He said, 'Kid, I don't rib, and I don't like to be ribbed.' But that mother**r ribs people! He's full of sh*t,' Angle said with a grin on Inside the Ropes. While he acknowledged Undertaker's intimidating presence, Angle shared that he earned the Deadman's respect early on, thanks to his humble attitude and gold-medal pedigree. Kurt Angle reflects on disturbing Sharmell plotline But the tone turned serious as Angle revisited one of the lowest points of his WWE career, the infamous 2005 storyline where he was made to stalk Booker T's wife, Sharmell, on live TV. Calling it the 'worst storyline' of his career, Angle didn't hold back on where the idea came from. Kurt Angle SHOOTS On The Undertaker's Backstage Advice 'Vince McMahon had this thing… I dated a Black girl once. So he was like, 'Hey, I'll have you stalk Sharmell.' It made me miserable,' he revealed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Stylish New Mobility Scooters Available for Seniors (Take a Look) Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Search Now Undo Angle admitted the storyline was deeply uncomfortable, especially given his respect for Booker T and Sharmell. 'God, I hope you guys didn't enjoy that,' he added. Kurt Angle feels WWE mishandled his comeback The WWE Hall of Famer also addressed his underwhelming 2017 comeback, which began with a Hall of Fame induction instead of an in-ring return. According to him, WWE viewed him as a 'liability' due to his past exit and opted for a cautious approach. 'They didn't really do much with me,' Angle admitted. 'I didn't win a lot of matches, and they flipped the traditional order - Hall of Fame first, wrestling later.' Looking ahead, Angle hopes more fans will get to see his lesser-known but highly acclaimed TNA Wrestling work. He's optimistic WWE will eventually buy the TNA tape library, bringing classic matches against stars like Sting and Samoa Joe to a broader audience. 'When I was in TNA, a lot of WWE fans never saw that side of me. Now that WWE and TNA are working together, I hope they make it happen,' he said. For Angle, the spotlight has never been about just titles - it's also about telling the whole story. These quotes were first transcribed and published by Ringside News .
