“Vince Didn’t Let Us Know” – Kurt Angle Reveals How His Fued With Stone Cold Steve Austin Started

Kurt Angle and Stone Cold Steve Austin have cut several promos back in the day. In fact, whenever their names were mentioned, especially together, the WWE Universe knew something interesting was about to go down.

Now, during his conversation with Conrad Thompson on The Kurt Angle Show, the veteran Superstar revealed how his feud with The Texas Rattlesnake started.

He revealed that nobody knew Vince McMahon was planning to put Angle and Stone Cold against each other. Moreover, he thinks even Vince McMahon did not know Angle and Stone Cold would end up against each other.

“We didn’t know and Vince didn’t let us know. I think that it just naturally happened. I think Vince said ‘Hey, these guys have great chemistry together, working together. If I pair them up against each other, they’ll probably have even better chemistry’.”

“And Vince was absolutely right. So I don’t think it was planned. I think it was brought up in the moment. And Vince decided that he wanted to pit Stone Cold Steve Austin versus Kurt Angle.”

When Stone Cold Steve Austin delivered a pile driver on Kurt Angle

The pile driver is a WWE maneuver which the company banned the Superstars from using. It had several red flags and one was, it could gravely injure a pro-wrestler if not executed properly.

However, during a match between Stone Cold and Angle, the Texas Rattlesnake applied the pile driver on him.

Kurt Angle revealed that even though he wasn’t supposed to be taking a pile driver because of his neck injury, he went ahead with the idea because he had immense trust in Stone Cold.

In fact, Stone Cold Steve Austin ensured to execute the pile driver in a way that it doesn’t have any impact on his neck.
