On his latest podcast, Bruce Prichard talks about the shoot fight between Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle:

“Weeks or maybe even months of the boys stirring the pot. Here you’ve got two world class athletes in Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar. Both amateur [wrestlers], both at the top of their game, both legitimate tough guys. So the boys kind of poking both bears with sharp sticks and guys going to Brock Lesnar and saying, ‘hey Brock, Kurt said he’d take you no problem.’ And then going to Kurt and saying, ‘wow, did you hear what Brock said about you? He said he’d take those Olympic gold medals and shove them up your ass if he ever had the opportunity.’ And this goes on and on and on and on and on. Kurt and Brock didn’t say s–t to each other and there was no argument and there was no nothing, but the talent would get each one of the riled up in their own way leading up to I found them both out in the ring at the same time together and it wasn’t a heated ‘f–k you – f–k you’ at all. It was like, ‘okay, you want to try, let’s go.’ And the entire encounter lasted maybe eight seconds because as they started to lock up, Vince McMahon came out onto the floor and saw what was going on in the ring and abruptly, ‘hey, Goddamnit! Knock it off!’ and put a stop to it pretty quick, so there was no winner. There was no loser.”
