It was a guy that was the hero that died at the end. “It was a blockbuster movie,” Angle stated when talking about the situation on his podcast. Vince didn’t want to lose any other top guys to Hollywood because of that, and as he learned in the Monday Night Wars between WWE and WCW, if you have a significant talent, you hold onto it and you try and feature it as best as you possibly can. Kurt Angle reflected on the latest installment of his official podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, about the former WWE CEO and Chairman refusing to allow him to accept what Angle claims was one of the “leading roles” in the film that was released in 2001.ĭwayne “The Rock” Johnson was emerging as someone who would go on to become a major motion picture legend.

Unfortunately for the decorated amateur wrestling and pro wrestling legend, he wasn’t given the opportunity to add major motion picture legend to that list. Kurt Angle didn’t get to be part of this, even though he was given the opportunity to do so by the producers of the film. “A date which will live in infamy,” was the quote about the unannounced attack on Pearl Harbor, which was considered by the Tokyo Trials to be a “war crime.” Y2K is in the rear-view mirror, as is one of the most savage attacks on American soil was the back-drop for a star-studded film about the Operation Z sneak-attack that led to the second World War. Great year for many reasons, and also the prelude to one of the biggest years to alter the globe and every piece of land on it. The WWE and IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Fame legend had to unlearn some of these traits when making the transition from legitimate athlete to sports entertainer.Īngle did that as well as anyone in the history of the business, and as fast as anyone, something Ronda Rousey was able to do in similar fashion when she made the same transition, coincidentally enough, alongside Angle in her first high-profile squared circle showdown on “The Grandest Stage of Them All” at WrestleMania 34 back at 2018.

It was also Kurt Angle’s mindset when he won a gold medal - with a broken freakin’ neck. That was the mindset during Pearl Harbor.
