1. “They wanted me to blow John Cena’s a$$ in his debut match” – Kurt Angle
During a recent interview for RF Video’s ‘Reflection’ series, WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2017 inductee Kurt Angle talked about facing John Cena in Cena’s WWE debut match, WWF locker room when he debuted & more. Below are the highlights:
On How He Viewed the Talent When He First Entered a WWF Locker Room:
“From an athletic standpoint, that is what got me intrigued. I started watching Raw in 1998, and I was seeing the Rock, Stone Cold, Undertaker, Triple H, and seeing these guys doing tremendous things, they were athletes who can move, world-class athletes, which is what drew me in first. I went out there and did it. I don’t know how, but I think that was when Vince saw me and said, ‘okay, this guy is going to make it.’”
On Working with John Cena:
“I didn’t kill him, or dominate him, and there was this new kid, a little green, good build..his name was John Cena, and I was going to have his debut match so they said, ‘blow his a$$ up.’ Nobody knew him, but he looked so damn good, he was such a good looking guy like, crap man, he’s going to go above all of our heads, and he did, but they were like, blow his a$$ up, embarrass him.”
