Whats the best way to quit WWE? Let us know in the comments!
Go out like Chris Benoit
@@buffalobillsbasket122😂😂
this dude lmao@@buffalobillsbasket122
chris benoit style
Taking a 10 million dollar dump on an interns chest and leaving the company in flames.
I like how he speaks about his own behavior. I dont hear much bias in his words. In my experiences, honorable men talk about their mistakes like this. Proof that you get wiser thru life experiece, good or bad.
Except for when he talks about the tough enough incident lol
@@kmk900___he said he went off script
@@fupalover off script my ass lol
You're so smart dude, do you got a water spoon?
@@kmk900___ What happened there?
Kurt confronting his problems, admitting them, and not trying to hide who he was or what his problems were or the root causes, is what makes him a real hero.
What were his problem 🤔
@@ringmaster996were u listening? He was clearly in pain
Not that he could, we all know and Love Perc Angle
@@ringmaster996he literally has an whole ERA titled PERC ANGLE 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was driving an airport shuttle one afternoon and my passenger was already seated in the back seat (unusual). As I started driving, he told me he was from Pittsburgh. We had a fantastic conversation about Pittsburgh teams in hockey, baseball, & football. When I opened the trunk to gather his luggage, I asked, “ Are you Kurt Angle?” You bet he was, and we talked more. He asked me my name twice, and shook my hand again before departing that Easter Sunday. Wonderful guy, great spirit, authentic, and my favourite passenger on the shuttle to YWG. 🇨🇦
I met him last year and got a picture wit him I got it under my community page scroll down
Never thought I'd see a tear from Kurt, what an absolute legend. Bless him
Looks like you missed his crybaby era 1999-2000
Kurt Angle is naturally hilarious both in his backstage promos & in off the cuff moments like this interview.
A monster schedule and monster drug habit. It's such a blessing that Kurt survived. This buisness has enough bad endings.
I'm glad Vince took him seriously when he said how bad he was. Plenty of higher-ups/corporate bosses wouldn't. I think Vince took him seriously BECAUSE we've lost so many greats. Glad Kurt is still here.
@@felinemoonchild Not only that, Kurt looked up to Vince as his fatherly figure (which not a lot of guys did).
I honestly think Kurt might be my favourite wrestler of all time (i dont say that lightly), fantastic talent & a absolute brilliant human being away from the ring
I dont understand how he walked into the office with all those injuries. Hes a freaking maniac.
Drugs
@@ItsWhatever24lots of them. Over 30 percocets a day at one point.
@@willymassey8273he was on vicodin, not percocets... vicodin is half the strength of percocet. It's a very weak opioid.
Painkillers are a hell of a drug.
Pittsburgh strong we wrestlers out here are built different lol
Kurt knows how to tell a story
I could see the change in Kurt Angle. When he finally decided happiness over career. Like you can physically see it
Perc angle was awesome
Kurt made TNA look legit throughout the majority of his tenure there (which was difficult to do). But man, I honestly wish he would have came back to WWE much sooner and finished his in-ring career properly.
I can listen to kurt for hours, such an amazing story teller
I never understood why he went straight to TNA after quitting WWE. If the main reason for him quitting was the injuries and painkiller abuse, wouldn't you want to stay away from wrestling all together? At least for some time?
Tna would give him a part-time contract
@@HorribleSmileProductions I see, but man, from what I remember, Kurt was going all out on TNA.
@@ResistingDeath fair point... if i remember it was a series of events where he got cheated on/divorced or something and wrestling became his crutch for survival. The whole perk angle era came out cause of that in tna.
I think back then tna had a lighter schedule and they did their shows in the same venue. So there was less or no days on the road.
Also gotta realize he was going through a divorce as well, him being in tna possibly saved his life if he was actually that out of control
I think working for ecw helped him work in smaller place like tna
I love these interviews and pod casts. It reveals what wrestlers were dealing with behind the curtain.
Only a honorable man speaks the truth every single time. Yes, he was high on drugs, but he did speak the truth, love Kurt
He’s on that coke lol 😂
23yrs back I knew only Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar ❤🇮🇳
Kurt was a true wrestler and a great entertainer.
Kurt you’re a smart man to admit your problems and not hide there are times in life you have to decide what’s best for you the same as when you listen to your body when your body shuts down to tell you you have got to stop before you do damage to yourself let’s face it everyone has limits
Such a brutal business. Physically, emotionally, financially. Glad he survived and I hope he’s doing ok.
Such a genuine bloke…
Amazing entertainer… he made everyone hate him… that’s what made him so great…
Especially when he is actually such a lovely and incredibly likeable person
He's the original face of Neck Strong. Idk how you break your neck more than once, let alone multiple times AND be a great wrestler
4 or 5 neck breaks total I believe. Oh it's true, IT'S DAMN TRUE.
Ironically, ecw Kurt is one of my favorite versions of Kurt.
Yea but he also hated they cut out the you suck chants
Hated Kurt angle growing up but he’s my guy now. Much respect!
One of my favorite wrestlers of all time, the you suck theme might be one of the top themes of all time
Sabu told the story of Kurt Angle’s groin injury
Great good guy and even better heel 👠!!!!!!
With how much I hated him throughout my whole childhood, and how much I love him now.. He might have been the best heel of all time.
That was his greatest move because I liked him more in tna than wwe.
Kurt my favorite
If this doesn't tell you about the character of Vince McMahon on top of the latest allegations, nothing will. Here's a man who has worked the likes of Kurt Angle, an incredible human being, to the point of wanting to kill themselves all for HIS product, greed & needs. Many weren't as lucky as Kurt.
Wrestling has needed a union or some form of regulation dating back to the 80's, if not an off period in their schedule of a month or so at least. It's scandalous how these people have been treated over the years.
I get your point but I don’t understand how Kurt’s account here enforces any of that. From the sound of it, Vince was dealing with a perc’d out Kurt who didn’t even remember threatening him while high and then immediately released him when he told him about his problems. Hell I think I also read that Vince wanted to keep Kurt but send him to rehab to clean up and Kurt wouldn’t do it and that also contributed to him leaving WWE.
Vince is without a doubt a prick, I just don't see evidence of that here. If anything I'd say this was one of his more human moments.
Its true, its damn true.
They overworked Kurt while being injured....
In TNA, you don't travel much, and you work 1/3 of the time you did up north
If you're a big name, on the downslope of your career, its the perfect final chapter of your career
He spoke the truth
Oh, yeah, it's true
Kurt really should do stand up 😂
WWE are more flexible these days with contracts. They let their biggest names sign a casual position. Aka Roman reigns. 😂😂
What do you mean? Isn't he on the main event every month?
I do wish he could have left a year and came back clean. I didn't watch tna much so no idea what he really did there.
Just Look up "Perc Angle" when I tell you Kurt was on some impossible high risk shit, I ain't never seen my boi moonsault off the top of a six sided cage.
Wow ..just wow story from kurt😮😮😮.... straight fact story 💯...the part kurt said he want to kill himself ..remind me benoit tragedy...benoit should quit like kurt before he suicide
Real shit 💯 💯
It’s a miracle we got that last Kurt run
Its funny cause the match vs rey was said to be a loser leaves wwe match or at least that what was on the tv outside the rose garden. First time smackdown had a show in portland so glad i got to see it and the debut of miz tv
GOAT.
He seems lit right here.
I wear a fetnyl patch plus pills for break through pain and never texted because I was high booze maybe but never pain medicine
Does he return back to WWE after this
Vince couldn't trust him on the main roster at that time because he was drugged out of his mind
Wow. That's insane
He is not Jeff Hardy.... He is Perc Angle!!! A God!
He was on vicodin.. 😂 it's really not as bad as he makes it out to be. The fucking Tylenol in those pills did more damage than the hydrocodone.
I like the part.......while high on pain killers......and texting others.....😁😳👀
That's the worst time to be with phones,,,,texting .........etc...
If he allowed Vince to do that to his head, he might regrow some hair. Good on him.
? 3:45ish, "It's true, OH, it's damn true"?
Not no unnecessary products and b.s designer stuff
Only for Vince’s messages to be exposed lol
Totally missed the chance to say "WHAT, WHAT, WHAT".
Such a rollercoaster in 4 minutes. Hilarious and utterly sad
When these wrestlers say they were working 300 days a year, how is that possible? These shows are aired once a week so how are they working so many days? Do they also mean training ?
This, tapings, house shows, other appearances, speaking engagements, press stuff, training, going over matches, traveling, it all adds up. And they don't always travel by flight either... much of it is by bus if you're not on the top of that card. Maven goes into this a good bit on his channel.
They brought ecw back on Tuesdays on some channel I think it was syfy
If was stupid
They were not going to do any of the big ecw matches
It was boring
The weird thing ecw became nxt and that sucks to
Play 3:08 out of context for a good laugh.
lmao that got me 😂
@@willbennett7993 then my work is done.
Wwe should definitely not take Kurt angle back
KA was always one of my favourite wrestlers
Oh look boss is in trouble! Time to say what I really feel !
I don’t understand how going to TNA fixed the issue.
They gave him part time contract which wwe didn’t
part time lighter schedule same venue
PERC ANGEL WAS WILLLD
Vince tryna beat him up ater he revealed himself lmfao but not for revealing himself they're way too comfortable lmao
I bet he is now so glad he left when he did...
We all know the truth now.....Vince wanted to poop on his head.
You didn’t leave or quit. You were fired.
Money 💰💰💰💰💵💵💵💵
Dam. That’s a man talking there.
$ , simple
that was not ECW that was WWECW like pre-NXT era before there was a NXT. it was terrible.
Here something funny. You post a video with Jericho on Orange Cassidy... Got comment dislike him and AEW. Come to this video, you got one or two comments. We see who is stirring the "toxicity". Btw, its not you. It the fans who love WWE so much, they belittle everyone else.
yup
You don’t have to love WWE to know that Jericho and OC are fuckin toolbags
I don't think I'll ever understand why they put themselves through that kind of abuse, taking decades off their lives. What keeps them coming back for more? Like is it the roar of the crowd or something?
I give you the same contract the contract is the reason why I'm leaving
In 2000-sex?
I wanna see a movie about Kurt Angle
One of the goats 🐐
He’s on that coke 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's the Carny way...
THE MAN LOVES HIS MILK!
Really takes being black from the waist down to a different level 😂😂😂
Wow wwe is fake yet that injury sounds real to me
it is fake , are movies real now?
look either enjoy it for what it is, or don't but stop trying to pretend it's real
Virgin
His last run was not right. He deserved more. Really had more to him. Shame.
Lol now.all the former wrestler comes to talk shasattt about vince lol
Vince pooped on him
THEY WERE BLACK
He should had stayed in WWE and took a hiatus and rehab from wrestling
Lot of shit happened to Kurt...
only option he should have sat is ass at home for 6 months I don't mean to come back to the WWE but the man was a train wreck he needed time off to heal regardless of where he went after.
I never seen any business ever lose so many people due to accidents and suicide like the WWE. 😮
You can’t help but appreciate Kurt Angle and so many other wrestlers 🤼 that work so hard to put on a show. ❤
And then he got his wife stolen in TNA
Kurt "If i dont leave imma kill myself"
*Chris Benoit flashbacks*
Vince: GO!!!! You are released!"
Chris Benoit's case was in 2007. Kurt's release from WWE was in 2006.
Bullshit he was in on it too
I can't understand being so high off painkillers that you don't remember what you've done during it.
Shame kurt angle backed out of a fight with vince mcmahon would of been box office stuff
