• WWF Legend Says Vince McMahon Always Wanted Him To Be A Heel
On an episode of his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle revealed that Vince McMahon always wanted him to stay a heel for most of his WWF/E run.
Here’s what the former WWF Champion said:
“The reason was Vince McMahon always wanted me to end up being a heel. He really just loved me as a heel. He enjoyed watching me as a heel. He always put me in a situation where I would become the heel.”
The only times during his original 1999-2006 WWF/E run that Angle didn’t work as a heel were in 2001 during the Invasion storyline, from 2003 until early 2004 and briefly in 2006 before he went to TNA.
In addition, Kurt also spent his entire 2017-2019 WWE run as a babyface.

In early 1996, he joined Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling as Loch Ness, a member of Kevin Sullivan’s Dungeon of Doom.
Loch Ness was booked for a feud against Hulk Hogan, but that never happened as Ruane was diagnosed with cancer and left the promotion.
Giant Haystacks is ranked #5 on a list of THE single heaviest professional wrestlers of all time, listed as weighing 690 lbs / 313 kg when he was at his heaviest.
