Kurt Angle Interview

Forced Simon to do this.

WHENEVER a WWE wrestler comes on our WrestleCast they are controversial, funny and, with a couple of notable exceptions, very honest.

So our very first guest from rival federation TNA knew he had a lot to live up to.

And boy did Kurt Angle deliver in spades, giving one of the best interviews we’ve ever done.

For those who haven’t listened yet, here are some of the best bits:

On Triple H burying him backstage when people cheered Kurt over John Cena – “Triple H obviously wanted to bash me because I was a better wrestler than him and I deserved to be in the spot that he was in but he was never going to give up, he’s Vince’s son-in-law.

“I had to deal with that stuff all the time. I’d wrestle Shawn Michaels and I’d get a little rough with him, then I’d get heat from Vince McMahon because I beat up on Shawn too much.

“So I’m like: ‘Well you know what, I’m tired of the two long-haired sissies. If they can’t go up against me then don’t put them up against me.”

On Vince McMahon – “TNA is where I want to be and I’m happy where I am. Vince McMahon can kiss my ass.”

On Chris Benoit – “About a year before what happened I was talking to Chris – and they (WWE) were kind of running him ragged – and he pulled me aside and said: ‘Listen, I’m ready to snap.’

“And I could see it in his face, it wasn’t like a normal: ‘I’m ready to snap, I’m really run down.’ He was looking at me real intense like he was going to kill me.

“He got some time off but when he came back they ran him ragged him again and he ended up getting concussion, brain damage and somewhere along the line he did snap.

“But everybody wants to blame it on WWE and Vince McMahon – and it’s really not their fault.”

On TNA when he first arrived – “When I stepped in, what I saw were a bunch of good wrestlers flying around the ring. Nobody really cared about them. That’s the philosophy and psychology I’ve been trying to teach these wrestlers. We need to build characters.”

On Awesome Kong – “She is without a doubt one of the most dominant female wrestlers I’ve ever seen. She makes Chyna looks like c**p. Awesome Kong knows how to wrestle. She’s big, strong and weighs 280lbs. She could probably whup my butt.

“I actually came up with an idea that I presented to Jeff Jarrett. I said: ‘Why don’t you have me wrestle her? We could have a hell of a match.’ He said: ‘Kurt, we don’t want to push her that way.’

“I wouldn’t lie down for her. I would let her beat the hell out of me but I would have to win in the end.”

Kurt also discusses his painkiller addiction, how the WWE Wellness Policy caught him, his recent alleged drink-driving incident, why Samoa Joe needs to win the TNA world championship, his thoughts on Goldberg, Brock Lesnar and who really leaks stories to the Internet.

Kurt's so fucking stupid it's kind of funny. Why the hell would he get rough with HBK? Is he that stupid?

I remember how awesome it was in the fall of 2006 to wait and see what outrageous lies Kurt would come up with next. He's so damn entertaining.

When you consider HBK wrestle's with a steel plate in his back,I doubt Angle could get rough enough to annoy HBK.

The Benoit stuff bothers me; it's like he's playing the WWE for it but then covers his ass at the end.

If WWE never released Kurt, Benoit would still be alive. Kurt knows everything. Everyone else thought Benoit was okay, but not Kurt. He is just so fucking smart.

When Kurt dies in the ring I'll be the first ti tell TNA marks "I told You So", and I'll be the first to burst out laughing. I don't give a shit really, fuck Kurt. He can bitch about HHH and HBK all he wants, but him and Jarret are exactly the same.

You seriously wouldn't care if Kurt Angle died? Wow.

People ahve speculated that Kurt is going to die in the ring since the day he joined TNA. He wrestles one day a week and spends the rest with his family. I think he'll be all right.

I laughed how he said he wouldn't lay down for her. That is sad.

I honestly don't think he's serious, I think he finds comedy in this, just like we do.

No, Advo, he'd still be dead.

Now, if Benoit went to TNA, he'd still be alive, but only if Kurt was still there.


Anyway, my favorite part of the interview was when it seems as if he was insinuating that is was WWE's fault, but then went back and said it wasn't. And he also said long haired sissies.

I listened to the whole thing and Kurt didn't come across as crazy. He was just proud of himself and a little bitter vs WWE.

The worst thing he said was "if Orton matures, then WWE will have a chance against TNA" he really believes in TNA, other than that, yea, he did sound like he bullshitted a little, but no worse than any other wrestler and he seemed pretty sane.

Obviously kurt didn't care enough about benoit to try and do anything about him.

Kinda feels like he threw that in there just to go 'nobody saw it coming? Kurt sees all that is coming and going'

Wat a dam idiot in general though... at least it does bring some lolz

Did you actually listen to it? He didn't come across as an idiot, in context, he just sounded like he knew there was a problem, but admitted he had a problem too.

He didn't make it seem like it was obvious, just that Benoit said it to him, which doesn't mean that he's saying he knew about it before, just something that in retrospect points to it.

Ah ok, see I only read the first post and didn't bother listening to the whole thing... so my bad.

The context I read it was apparently wrong so I thought he was trying to big note himself
