Touring all over the world nearly every day of the year is an exhaustive part of being a wrestler. But during that time, not only do they get to meet a lot of their fans but also make a lot of friends in the company as well. But these friendships don’t last, according to this legend who went toe-to-toe with Brock Lesnar himself at WrestleMania 19.

This legend is none other than the former WWE Champion Kurt Angle. Being a staple of the early ’00s WWE, Angle made many friends who are now legends in the business. But as he explained in a video, all of these friendships fade away as time flows by and no one has connected to wrestling again.

WWE Hall of Famer speaks out on being ghosted by Brock Lesnar

On the Kurt Angle Show, the WWE Hall of Famer talked about keeping in contact with his wrestling friends. He said, “I mean, I text Triple H every couple of months. He’ll text me back, or he will get a hold of me every couple of months, but it’s not a lot. I don’t hear anything from Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, you know, all my closest friends. Even Shelton Benjamin. I never hear from him. It’s a sad business in that category.

No! I didn’t even see him! I didn’t even know he was there. My wife told me, and I was like, Brock wasn’t even backstage; I didn’t see him. So, I think he just went there, did his segment, and then left. I didn’t see him at all.

It is indeed sad that the people with whom you have travelled so much of your adulthood will lose contact with you when it’s all over. But like they mentioned in the interview, these anniversaries feel like a family reunion.

How close were Kurt Angle and Lesnar in the locker room?

There have been many times that Angle, and Lesnar have talked about each other during interviews. During his first run, Lesnar often butted heads with Angle, which led to their monumental match at WrestleMania 19. Also, in a friendly manner, Angle discredited Lesnar’s NCAA achievements.
