Pro Wrestling Stories was honored to host a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” session with Kurt Angle just prior to his historic induction into the WWE Hall of Fame and second run with the company. Over 800 comments came through, and Kurt held nothing back with his responses!

Angle recalled some amazing stories – from the time he talked Vince McMahon into letting him main event WrestleMania with a badly injured neck, Hulk Hogan’s reaction to having to tap out to him, John Cena and his weak punches, Undertaker recommending Angle be the one to break his WrestleMania streak, and so much more!

"I didn’t know Undertaker and I were going to have that type of chemistry. You’re talking about a giant versus a world-class Olympic gold medalist, a world-class athlete."

Kurt Angle on “Robotic” John Cena

"I really liked John. I talked to him, and I had heard from some promoters out west that he had everything that it took to be a top-tier guy. He had the look. He could wrestle, but he was a little robotic in the beginning..."

“The milk wasn’t what you thought it was!”

Kurt Angle: "When I sprayed the milk on everybody with the truck in Sacramento, California, in 2001, the milk wasn’t what you thought it was!” (laughs)
