WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he discussed several topics, including the hardest of the three I’s to follow.
Angle said, “Integrity. Sometimes intelligence, I do some stupid things.”
On the stupidest thing he has done in wrestling:
“Oh God, moonsault off the top of the cage. I did that actually against Chris Benoit, Ken Anderson and — I did it one other time and I can’t remember who was with.”
On the Anderson one being the worst on:
“Yeah, I landed on his face. And usually when I do it, I miss. The guy moves. For the first time Ken’s like, ‘I’ll take it.’ I’m like, ‘You don’t want to take that.’ He said, ‘No no no, I’ll take it. I’ll be okay.’ So we did it and I landed right on his face… he was a little bit [too close], but I went straight up instead of back. So I kind of gauged where I was going to be, and I was able to land on him — barely but I landed on his face.”
On knowing it was bad right away:
“Yeah. Actually, I was hurting. You know, it hurt my stomach. I knocked the wind out of myself. But I figured, ‘If I’m hurting this bad, Ken’s hurting worse.’”
