I don't buy that the Angle interview was a shoot. Obviously, when you are a heel, you want people to chant "You suck." That's the kind of reaction that heels strive for. The worse thing that can happen is if the fans chant nothing at all and don't even acknowledge your existence. I'm sure that Angle is happy about how over he is as a heel. I don't think people really meant a genuine shoot. Just a promo with lots of real emotion and real life examples. Also I guess he was just real pissed off and the You suck chants just finally got to him.(kayfabe)

Yes, I do find it quite preposterous that Cena, the posterchild for rich, spoon-fed WASPS, is hailed as a "Peoples Champion", while Angle, the quintessential definition of "dedication" is booed.

Kurt Angle is definatly one of the all-time greats. Assuming that thing about his wife is true, he really has sacraficed a lot for the WWE. I remember once some Olympic medalists in wrestling came and visited my school, and when I asked them if they like Kurt Angle, they started laughing in my face. So, besides the whole thing with his wife, he also sacraficed his whole reputation as a respectable amateur wrestler to come work for the WWE.He's made them a lot of money, so whatever he gets from them he deserves it and then some. Favorite Kurt Angle Quote: "I was the first Euro-Continental champion in WWF History....well, except for D'Lo Brown, but he doesn't count!" I'm sure Kurt Angle is losing sleep (which would have probably been on his very expensive bed bought with his WWE earnings) at the thought of losing his reputation as an amateur wrestler. All Kurt Angle needs to remember about his amateur background is that the history books will always say that he won the gold medal and "with a broken freaking neck" at that.

He gets booed because he's a heel. Not because people don't really like him, but because he's a heel.
Out.

These wrestlers are talking to high schoolers for a living now. Kurt Angle is probobly the most recognizable amateur wrestler!!

Angle doing his entrance over and over had me in tears laughing! That was easily the funniest thing WWE has done in a very long time.

Probably didn't get to hear her first words. Probably didn't get to see her first steps. Did lose his wife. And that is because he is dedicated to wrestling. Not shoot as in, "I hate you guys cause you chant "you suck" at me." It's obvious he was striving for MORE heat. I love Kurt Angle and I really, really, really hope that if he wins the title at Survivor Series that he gets a damn good run with it.

I feel bad about Kurt's home situation - LDRs are tough and don't always work out, especially when you're gons almost 300 days a year and have a small kid.

Didn't he marry a stripper? Wasn't she on Net blasting everyone Kurt worked with (RVD, esp.) for not wrestling safe enough and were hurting Kurt?

Whatever the situation, i'm surprised that no one picked up on the fact that when he mentioned his fam, he started to mist/tear up. he really felt that and you could see it. It was supposed to just be one or two stupid lines in a promo and he almost broke down in front of millions of people. i know he's hurting from it
All that aside
BEST EVER!

According to our friends at 411mania.com, Angle & his wife indeed seperated a few months back. So, it's true...it's damn true...according to the internet. THE INTERNET IS ALWAYS RIGHT! DO NOT QUESTION IT'S... um.... INFORMATION! But yeah, she left him a few months ago.

No, that was a rumor. She's actaully a flowershop owner from what I heard.

And we all know that's a lie. Kurt Angle was a stripper, and a damn good one!

He says she worked for some company or something doing advertising, and she hung around him for a couple months promoting something. She was the spokeswoman/model for Iron City Beer, which was how they met. When last I heard, she had a manicure shop. The stripping thing is news to me. And here she is:

Wow. I'd pay to see her strip...All that aside, that had to have been the greatest Promo I've seen in 15 years. It was Jake Roberts in his prime good.
