WWE legend Kurt Angle established his legacy by setting out his career as an outsider. He has a history of an accomplished amateur wrestling career with a significant Olympics Gold Medal in 1996. During his two tenures in the company of Vince McMahon Angle has tussled with many great superstars of the Attitude Era, including ‘Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H, Big Show, and even John Cena in The Prototype’s debut.

Kurt Angle’s second WWE tenure started in 2017 after he departed in 2006. Also, he was the headline inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2017. However, recently Angle revealed an unpleasant memory he had with Vince McMahon as the WWE chief gave his pyro to the Hardy Boy, just a minute before his entrance, during WrestleMania 33.

Kurt Angle returned to WWE after officially retiring match at WrestleMania 35, losing to Baron Corbin. The Hall of Famer’s speech at the induction event was so memorable as he reminisced about his legendary career, which also included his milk celebration. His entrance during WrestleMania 33 was also planned to be most spectacular.

The WrestleMania 33 had an honoring ceremony for The Hall of Fame 2017 inductees. The entrance theme for the ‘American Hero’ included fireworks that were in Red, White, and Blue. Instead, Mr. McMahon gave to the Hardy Boys who came back to WWE the same night after several years away and captured the Raw Tag Team Championships from The Bar in a four-team ladder match.

Last-Minute Change By Vince McMahon That Made Kurt Angle Unhappy

Recently, on his ‘Kurt Angle Show‘ the Wrestling Machine reflected on the incident. Angle said, “Yes, I was pretty pissed off about it too. When I was going out for WrestleMania to be acknowledged as a Hall of Fame inductee, I’m getting ready to go out there and Vince tells me, ‘Hey listen, we’ve got red, white, and blue fireworks for you.”

“When you go out there, point your fingers in the air and we’re going to have the fireworks go off. Then we’re going to celebrate your Hall of Fame induction.’ So I go out there and I raise my hands and nothing goes off. No fireworks go off, I lower my hands and raise them again, nothing goes off.”

Furthermore, the WWE Hall of Famer added, “I came back from out of the arena to go backstage. And I said, ‘Vince, what happened?’ He said, ‘Well, unfortunately, The Hardy Boys were winning the Tag Team Titles tonight and every World Title match has fireworks but theirs. So I called an audible and I stole yours. And I’m giving them to the Hardyz because they’re on the segment after you.”

“The Hardyz got the red, white, and blue fireworks. The b*****ds stole them from me.”

Moreover, The Olympic hero also had expressed his wish to have another retirement match, preferably with John Cena. Many fans also agreed on a second retirement match, as the one with Corbin did not go as he deserved. Kurt Angle has been a full-time general manager for WWE RAW. Angle also refereed the inaugural Fight Pit on NXT between Matt Riddle and Timothy Thatcher in May 2020.
