The first year I was with WWE I pitched for Kurt Angle to come back and wrestle. That was before I knew about the John Cena situation.
I wanted to wrestle Kurt. I talked to two people. I’m not gonna say who they are. They’re really up there. I said, how about we bring Kurt, I think it’s gonna be great. One, he’s the greatest professional wrestler ever. Two, just USA coming back and I was still the Russian, like I was still doing the Russian flag, Putin and everything.
He said that Kurt was the greatest wrestler and wants to face him like Russian. But they said that they don’t want feel responsible for his coming back and hurt.
They told me no. This is verbatim for the person who told me. He said, “We don’t wanna feel responsible if he comes back and dies.”
