Speaking on his latest podcast, Angle revealed that the scary antics of the host made him nervous, and lose his wit. He said, “You know what? The questions weren’t hard but when you are standing there and you are infront of that lady who is really like imposing. She’s like Hitler. Pretty scary the way she is. She has no personality and she just talks straight at you.”

He even compared this moment with his Olympic gold medal match, and stated that even during that iconic moment he was not as nervous as he was in the studio.

Angle further claimed, “‘These people are here and this woman is asking questions.’ And you know you end up getting stupid. And then I got the first question right, and the second one I got wrong. And I was out of the game petty quickly. So, it wasn’t that great of an experience for me. “

What could have turned into a great experience, instead turned bitter for Angle due to the host’s scary nature, and imposing attitude. Nevertheless, a revered superstar won the contest and triumphed over other notable wrestling personalities.
