He added, “so he work your arm and then when he’s done shining he ‘ll he’ll he’ll have you take his knee out and you know it’s usually he’ll run into the corner with a high boot and mess and I’ll move and he’ll hurt his leg and it’s the same equation every time but it works you know for him it was perfect so uh you know that’s the way it always went with the undertaker but he called the whole thing up until the comeback and finish”.

Kurt Angle recalls his first match with The Undertaker

Angle claimed that even though the match resulted in a defeat for him within eight minutes, it was great to wrestle a main event wrestler.

He mentioned, “this match it was an eight-minute match it was more of an elevation match for me and an enhancement match for him because I was an upcoming talent and it was a good win for Undertaker and for me it was my first time going into a pay-per-view wrestling a main event wrestler.”

“It wasn’t the main event but it was a main event wrestler so it helped me dramatically to be paired up with him but it also helped him because he got a good win.”

Kurt also stated that he was unaware of the fact that the plan for him was to main event SummerSlam. It came as a surprise to him. He only got to know that probably two weeks before SummerSlam.

He further added that he had no idea that Vince McMahon had big plans coming up for him. Soon, he got to know that he would win the world title that year instead of winning it next year.
