Kurt Angle took part in his standard Facebook Q&A yesterday. During the Q&A, he revealed his favorite Rumble match that he was a part of, his thoughts on inter-gender wrestling and more. Here are the highlights:
On If He Had A Favorite Royal Rumble Match That He Took Part In:
I never fared well at the Rumble. I defended three of my World Titles at the Rumble though. HHH, [Chris] Benoit, and [Mark] Henry. That’s what I did best at Royal Rumble. I defended World Titles.
On Inter-Gender Wrestling:
As long as a male doesn’t physically punch or kick a female. If it’s just wrestling then it can work. I love it.
On The Mistake That Actually Helped His Career:
My biggest mistake that helped my career? When I got choked out by Taz at 2000 Rumble. Big mistake. But I claimed it was an illegal move and since it was illegal, I was still undefeated. It worked! I got a lot of heat for it. Classic heel Angle, lol.
On Steve Austin’s Intensity In The Ring:
Austin and I were both a bit stiff. He was so good at his craft. He was intense. I had to step up my game to match his intensity. I loved working with him. Reminded me of working with Benoit.
On Differences Between Kurt Angle Of Today & Angle Of The 1990s:
When I started, I was a lot more diverse. I had more personality, many depths to my character. I was fun. I can do it again, but I need some good storylines to get me moving. I miss those days.
On His Favorite Heel Moment:
When I got beat by Rey Mysterio and I said, ‘I can’t believe a 12 year old just beat me.’ I loved doing those heel segments.
