Kurt Angle on working with Bob Backlund

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 Conrad Thompson 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

At another time, in a different reality, Kurt Angle vs Bob Backlund would have been a great-match.

I like how you put the date and place during the discussion Conrad.

Bob Backlund of 1980 will totally beat Kurt Angle of 2000 any day of the week

I love Bob Backlund! He called Kurt Mr Angles when he came out and it looks like Kurt started laughing?

Those true old-schoolers were tough all the way until the end.

Backlund is one of the most legit tough guys to ever step foot in a WWE ring. Backlund was a monster as an amateur wrestler.
