Kurt Angle on The Undertaker

On Apr 15, 2021, in an episode of ‘The Kurt Angle Show’, host Conrad Thompson asked Angle about his experience on Undertaker’s entrance after Angle’s win over Mark Henry for the Royal Rumble 2006 – World Heavyweight Championship. Kurt’s reply was with nostalgia and awe alike as he said,

“It was euphoric. Any time I’m in a ring and Undertaker’s entrance hits, I mean I- I’m -I’m not being disgusting here but I want to or***m. I mean it’s-it’s or***mic you know? Being out there you just mark out you’re like holy sh*t, it’s Undertaker, and he’s coming toward me nice and slowly, and he looks scary as hell. It is the coolest entrance I’ve ever seen of anybody, period” 

Undertaker Wants To Face Angle

Kurt revealed that The Phenom wanted to face him at WrestleMania, to which Kurt replied with a resounding yes. With both Taker and Angle in agreement, they went over to Vince for the booking of the match. But Vince had other plans and rejected the idea on the spot. Kurt explained that Vince declined their request to keep the Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania intact. Vince McMahon then booked a match between the two at No Way Out. Kurt said,

“He didn’t tell me why I would end his undefeated streak, but the reason was I was going to win the world title right and then uh you know? and then go to WrestleMania and then I would have to wrestle somebody for the world title holding the world title.

“I think that Vince McMahon felt I was gonna help hold the world title at WrestleMania which I didn’t, and we’ll get to that later- but um you know Taker, it was it was really awesome that to have him at uh No Way Out but the reason that Vince booked it was we wanted the match at WrestleMania so Vince said no but we’re making it No Way Out, so he booked the match.
