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.”
