Original Plans For Team Angle Revealed

Back in 2002, Kurt Angle took Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin under his wing when he formed Team Angle, and together the group found success. The group had a good run, but it sounds like Kurt Angle originally wanted the faction to expand and continue on for longer than it did.

During a recent episode of The Kurt Angle Show the WWE Hall of Famer talked about how he wanted Team Angle to add more wrestlers, but Vince McMahon didn’t see it that way.

“Yeah, I was upset because I thought this faction would be one of the best factions in the history of the business. If we went two, three, four years, I thought Team Angle was really special. I thought we were great; I thought we could build on it and bring in more wrestlers eventually.”

“Maybe even though it wasn’t going to happen, maybe Brock Lesnar joined for a little bit because he was an amateur wrestler. So, it was all about amateur wrestlers, bringing them in, and I think Team Angle would have become bigger and bigger, and it would have continued on; even when I left and retired, I was hoping that Team Angle would continue on with amateur wrestlers. That was my focus, that’s what I wanted to do, but unfortunately, that was not in the plans with Vince McMahon.”

Do you think WWE should have kept Team Angle going? Sound off in the comments below.
