One of the best elements to WWE entrances are pyros. It adds the energetic effect which hypes the audience and creates the environment for the matches. Unfortunately, Kurt Angle did not have an enjoyable experience with pyro for the first time.

While in conversation with Conrad Thompson, Kurt Angle revealed that he had forgotten about his pyro. He kept walking down the ramp, and when it went off, it scared him to bits.

“We didn’t really get affected by pyro because we were so focused on our matches. It didn’t bother me that much. But, at the first time I got pyro, I forgot about it. I walked out to my entrance music, I was supposed to stop and put my hands in the air and my pyro was supposed to go off. I forgot, I kept walking down the ramp and the pyro went off, I was like ‘holy sh*t!’ It scared the hell out of me. I turned around and you could tell I was scared to hell from that. It was a little bit embarrassing but I played it off like I was supposed to.”
