Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero had some memorable encounters in the ring, and Angle has said in the past that he and Eddie were “like brothers.” Even though they were close they didn’t always see eye to eye and during a recent interview with The Hannibal TV Kurt Angle shared some interesting details about a backstage fight he got into with Guerrero.
According to Kurt Angle there was a misunderstanding between himself and Eddie Guerrero backstage after a segment on SmackDown, and Big Show had to step in and break things up.
“We were in the ring and we had to get heat on him in the ring. That means beat him up. My gang of guys, that means Luther Reigns and Mark Jindrak and myself, I didn’t touch Eddie but they did. I guess they laid into him pretty hard and he came backstage, he was mad and he approached me and said, “Why did you lay into me like that? You beat the cr*p out of me.” He actually used a lot more swear words *laughs* and I said “Eddie, I didn’t touch you” and he said I did and he pushed me. I said “Don’t push me again” and I pushed him back. He tried to double-leg me and it wasn’t that hard to fight him off, me being an amateur wrestler. It was pretty easy and I put him in a chokehold and started choking him out and then Big Show broke it up, thank god, because I loved Eddie and I didn’t want to fight Eddie.”
Angle went on to say that a few minutes later JBL asked Eddie Guerrero why he would try to use a double-leg takedown on an Olympic gold medalist, and Eddie had a humorous response.
“The crazy thing is, 10 minutes later, JBL goes to Eddie and says “why would you double-leg an Olympic gold medallist?” and Eddie says, ‘Because I’m a dumbass,’ so it turned out to be pretty funny but it was pretty intense.”
