Kurt Angle on on the real-life drama with Edge, Lita, and Matt Hardy
Kurt Angle gave his thoughts on various topics on the latest episode of his Kurt Angle Show including why he thinks WWE took advantage of Kane, the drama between Lita, Edge, and Matt Hardy in 2005 that led to an on-screen rivalry, and more. Here are the highlights:
On Kane:
“No. You know what? I didn’t hang out with Glen that often. He was a really nice guy. Nobody could [say a bad thing about him]. He was like the perfect employee; you know, he never got in trouble. Yeah. He did everything he was told to do. He showed up. He worked his ass off. I think he was a little too nice because the company kind of took advantage of him. He did a lot more, had a lot more losses than wins, and was a dominant character. So, you know, but he was one of those guys that was in the main event that really made other wrestlers because when you’re going up through the ranks, you had to go through Kane. And when you beat Kane, that’s a big plus on, you know, on your shoulder. You can continue knowing that you’re a bigger star after you defeat Kane. So he was one of the obstacles you had to go through to get to the main event.”
On the real-life drama with Edge, Lita, and Matt Hardy:
“All right. Listen, I was good friends with all of them. I didn’t like it. I felt like it was really uncomfortable to be around this situation, you know, knowing that Matt was Lita’s and Lita was Matt’s, and then, you know, edge came along and kind of took her away. It didn’t sit well with me and I wasn’t gonna be there and, and, and chastise anybody. I kept quiet, but I didn’t agree with it.”
This is yet another validation of why Glenn Jacobs is widely respected.
@DB
Was, until he decided to appeal to the lowest common denominator (i.e. the stupid who want to force their way of life upon others). No longer is. You respecting someone does not mean that someone is “widely respected”.
Just try to not get any of that Big Red Machine juice in your eyes. And if it gets chunky, bail…
@Luke – I’m going to regret this but when you say, the stupid who want too force their way of life upon others, do you mean conservatives, liberals, or both?
@Joseph I believe a certain someone is covering for their own inadequacies via projection of those same inadequacies onto others. I hope they seek some help with their mental health.
Now where did I put the microwavable popcorn?
@Joseph
Neither. I don’t care about politics. Stupid is as stupid does, not as it advertises politically. And stupid needs idols to blindly follow.
@Luke – I’d say both but yeah, stupid is as stupid does.
