Triple H and Kurt Angle are top names in the world of wrestling. Both are WWE Hall of Famers and are among the best wrestlers in history. Their feud has been known to all. However, what might not be known is the fact that The Game once almost ended Angle’s career.
The Hunter made an appearance on the ‘Impaulsive‘ podcast. During that, he was asked about the “craziest moment” of his career. He then talked about the match, where he was supposed to put Angle through the announcer’s table.
He then went on to say how they went up on the table, and as Triple H was about to nail the Pedigree, the table broke from beneath. As a result of that, Angle’s head got smashed into a control box, and he started snoring.
The Game said, “I watch his head smash into a control box and I hear Kurt start snoring, he wakes up, and he starts trying to get up and take a mouthpiece that he doesn’t have in, out of his mouth, and when you watch that match back, you go like, oh my god. I would never know anything was wrong, but for us, we were flying without the radar and just going“.
The Chief Content Officer of Stamford-based promotion explained the level of shock they received after Triple H seriously hurt Kurt Angle with a botched pedigree. Indeed, if things had been more serious, it could have put a full stop to Angle’s career. However, everything was alright moving ahead, and the two WWE legends went on to deliver several outstanding performances following that.
The history between Triple H and Kurt Angle
Paul Michael Levesque, also known as Triple H, and Kurt Steven Angle, popularly known as gold medalist Kurt Angle, have currently retired from professional wrestling. However, during their prime, both of them delivered extraordinary performances and bagged several Championships to their name. Not only that, they share a long history together.
Angle and Hunter primarily feuded with each other over the WWF Championship. However, later they were a part of a love triangle storyline, which featured Angle, Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon.
The feud over the WWF Championship led to a Triple Threat Match between Angle, The Game, and The Rock at Summer Slam 2000 for the WWF Championship. This is the same match where the announcement table broke, leading to Angle suffering a concussion. However, as a result of that, The Rock retained the championship.
Finally, the feud between Triple H and Kurt Angle came to an end at Unforgiven 2000, where the former nailed a pedigree to defeat his opponent. The duo was previously seen together on WWE television in January this year, during the 30th anniversary of RAW.
It’s been quite a while since both Superstars made an appearance on WWE television. It is to be seen when they will be seen next within the Stamford-based promotion. Till then, fans will have to wait with eagerness to see their appearance.
