Kurt Angle tells a great "hair vs hair"/Edge story

[héad.casé]

As part of the Q&A segment, Kurt was asked about Edge. Kurt laughed and brought up the hair vs hair match. He recalled Vince calling him into his office the afternoon of the event to discuss the match. Vince told Kurt out right "you're going bald" and told Kurt that his reason was because he was sick of looking at his receding hairline. Kurt told the audience that he accepted this and didn't have any issue with it at all. Vince ordered Kurt not to say anything about it to Edge and that "we're gonna f*** with Edge!" So Edge comes in and Vince tells him Edge is going to do the job that night and go bald. Kurt recalled that Edge's face went chalk white, he said ok and they both left. Outside of the office, Edge in a panic started saying to Kurt how he couldn't go bald because he grew his hair out to hide his ugly face. Kurt said it was hard to keep a straight face, but he told Edge that he has to do the job and if he didn't like it, then tough. Before the event, Kurt was walking backstage and saw that Edge was out front in the stands appearing to be crying. In the end, Edge was told 5 minutes before the match that it was all a rib and that Kurt was losing his hair that night.

I can imagine Edge's face when he was told he was losing.

Edge in a panic started saying to Kurt how he couldn't go bald because he grew his hair out to hide his ugly face.

Jesus, dude, you're not that ugl-

Well...

Hmmm...

I have to wonder if Kurt was being ribbed too, just because of how dramatic it is, with the "I have to have long hair to hide my ugly face".

He looks like Michael Barryman's healthier cousin.

I've seen that bald Edge pic pop up a lot... trying to remember the context for it, because I honestly don't remember Edge EVER having anything but long hair until he finally got it cut after he retired.

The story is hilarious though.

It was on Smackdown before the Judgment Day 02 PPV where Angle was showing how Edge would look bald.

Got to get some crazy stories out of Vince Mcmahon and the boys before his time comes. A roundtable like that would be hilarious

The visual of some twist of fate bringing Vince to tell his life story in front of an RF Video curtain is hilarious.
