Hall Of Famer Says Kurt Angle Beat John Cena “Half To Death” For Unplanned Spot During Match

John Cena has faced some big opponents throughout the course of his career, and he was first arriving in WWE he clashed with Kurt Angle on more than one occasion.

Angle helped make Cena, but Arn Anderson noted on a recent episode of his ARN podcast that at one point Kurt Angle decided to teach John Cena a lesson the hard way.

According to Anderson the two stars were working a match at a live event when Cena rolled out of the ring and went into the crowd to grab a foam finger. The spot did not go over well with Angle.

“He was wrestling Kurt Angle, as we know Kurt Angle is the real deal, he’s an assassin. All of a sudden I see John, out of nowhere during a random time in the match he rolls out of the ring, goes over the rail about 15 rows deep, grabs one of those big foam hands and folds it into a bird and points it at Kurt Angle. The audience popped, but as he gave it back and came over that rail to rejoin the match, guess who was waiting on him and not too happy about what just happened? That would be Kurt Angle and he proceeded to beat John half to death.

“He got a little stiff and snug with him because it was something that did not work in the match, it was unprofessional, it was just a foolish thing to do during that point in the match. It’s just one of those things that goes through the learning process, if you learn from those mistakes you can accelerate and move forward.”
