The Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle recently appeared on WrestleZone Radio’s WZ Weekly where he was asked about several questions. Among them, he told us what he was asked not to do during his Hall of Speech. Check out below what he said;
“They didn’t let me do everything I wanted to do! (Laughs) I wanted to drive the milk truck into the arena. (Laughs) The higher-ups said, “That’s a little too much.” You know what? The reason I wanted to come back to WWE, whether it was just for the Hall of Fame or they talked to me about being an ambassador or the GM role or me wrestling again. I really don’t know about that yet. I wanted to come back and thank the WWE Universe, the fans. I also wanted to give a message to the younger talent on how to deal with your career and not make the mistakes I made and also to take chances.”
Angle wanted fans to see what they wanted to. He believed many of the attendants of the hall of fame audience never saw him wrestle. So he wanted them to know who he actually is and what he is capable of. Here is what he said about it;
“I really tried to give the fans a moment I thought they wanted to see. I thought the only way to do that was to show them by example. Not that those guys didn’t watch me back then. A few of them probably never saw me even wrestle. A lot of these guys are pretty young. I wanted to show them what it is like to take a chance. Especially in a Hall of Fame speech. I don’t think anyone has ever done that before. I figured this was the best way to send a message.”
