Kurt Angle On Hardcore Holly's 'Tough Enough' Controversy

Kurt Angle is a 14-time professional wrestling world champion, with titles collected in WWE, TNA, and Japan. He is in both the WWE and TNA/Impact Hall of Fames, a two-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion, and has also won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Games with, as he likes to say, ‘a broken freaking neck.’ At every stop in his career, Angle has reached the top of the mountain, and now he’s taking his Three I’s; Intensity, Intelligence, and Integrity, to the podcast world as he joins host Paul Bromwell to take a look back at some of the matches, feuds and moments that turned an Olympic gold medalist into one of the greatest sports entertainers of all time. It’s True. It’s damn true

Except everyone who was there said he picked on the kid for no reason

I don’t believe it’s a secret that hard-core Holly had anger issues within himself! After watching the tough enough with Billy Gunn, Billy Gunn said something very interesting. He said when you step in that ring, you are responsible for the other person‘s safety! Teaching people a lesson because you mad in the ring is not being safe! If he didn’t like what was said, then, he should’ve addressed it by using his words!

What about the incident with Renee Dupree where RVD had to interfere.

[JeremiahLOsborne]

I think Angle can relate to being in an incident with someone who may be a little more talented but a little less politically powerful, so to speak, in the industry. So of course, it couldn't have been just Bob Holly's terrible attitude. Matt capitelli must have done something to him. I wonder what Daniel Puder did to Kurt.

[kenterminateddq]

It wasn't about what Matt Cappotelli said to Bob.
Holly got mad because Cappotelli was laughing a lot and didn't take the match seriously.
I think I'm the only one who didn't mind Bob being a little stiff with Matt (god rest his soul).

For me bob holly is a joke gives it the big one but never made any money for the business! Clown!

[derekthemagician]

Angle was bullied by Bob and was scared to call him out...lol

[joeyspagnola]

still extremely unprofessional and unnecessary

[johnnyjrkirch]

I thought you had integrity, intensity, and intelligence Kurt why are you defending a bully
