WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently took to an episode of his Kurt Angle show podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including the heat he got in WWE in 2000.
Angle said, “It was like, every week, I was getting a stunner from Steve. Stone Cold Steve Austin, or getting a pedigree from Triple H or a rock bottom from The Rock. I mean, they were abusing the shit out of me, and that this is around the time that I told you where Pat Patterson was like, ‘Okay, enough’s enough. Yeah, you need to give this guy legitimate wins.’”
His storyline with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon:
“Oh, it was great. I mean, we all got along really well, so we played our characters well. Nobody was pissed at anybody for real. We just had a lot of fun doing it. It really was a lot of fun, being teamed up with Stephanie and Triple H doing this program.”
Why the company decided to not continue his pairing up with Stephanie McMahon:
“I don’t know if somebody got upset or didn’t want to do it anymore. Triple H separated from me because they didn’t want the threesome to go on while he and Stone Cold Steve Austin would be doing a program. Gotcha. So, Steve, our biggest star, was back, and they wanted to give him a formidable opponent. So they decide to take Triple H away from me and give him the Stone Cold Steve Austin.”
