WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently pressed the record button for another episode of his podcast The Kurt Angle Show. During the podcast, the 4-time WWE Champion spoke about an angle he was involved in, while in the middle of a storyline with Booker T and Sharmell. Kurt shared his thoughts on what went down, and explained:
“No, they didn’t have me do anything too crazy, but you know, my angle with Booker T and Sharmell. I wasn’t comfortable with that. I still did it because they wanted me to, but I actually wish I wouldn’t have done that. I didn’t think it did anything for my character. It might have drawn a little bit of heat, but it wasn’t good heat (laughs); it was pretty bad heat. So, other than that, I didn’t regret anything else I did, and I didn’t turn anything down”
The Olympic Gold Medalist also talked about the Attitude Era. Kurt gave his thoughts on the wildest time in wrestling, stating:
“I wasn’t for it, but I understood that wrestling was changing. I knew that the Attitude Era made everything different. Vince McMahon became more risky. Took a lot more chances and did a lot of crazy stuff. It drew ratings. I mean, you know, the Attitude Era was the top-rated era in the company’s history. What he was doing was working. So, I understood why he did it. I didn’t agree with it, but I understood”.
