Most people would agree that Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle are two of the most talented performers to ever step in the ring, and at WrestleMania 21 they clashed in a classic match on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
The match received rave reviews from fans, and it sounds like the match also received some very favorable reviews when the two stars went backstage.
Kurt Angle recently discussed the match on The Kurt Angle Show, and he noted that when he and Michaels went backstage Pat Patterson was crying, and Vince McMahon gave him a hug.
“Pat was over the moon about it. He was crying. Pat was an emotional guy, especially when you had an incredible match. He knew how hard we worked and what we wanted to accomplish. He was crying and so proud of us. Shawn, me, and The Rock were his three favorite wrestlers. Pat took an extra interest in us and cared about us more than the other wrestlers. Not that he showed it, but you knew it. Him getting emotional made me emotional…….Vince and I were not fighting but having some arguments over certain things at that time, but he forgot about it that night. He gave me a big hug and said, ‘I’m so proud of you.’ That meant a lot to me because I was struggling through some things at the time, and Vince wasn’t real happy with me. I made a lot of mistakes. He said, ‘You are the best.’ That’s what he told me.”
