Kurt Angle calls his Wrestlemania X8 match with Kane

On this episode of The Kurt Angle Show, we look back 20 years at WrestleMania X8, which took place March 17, 2002 from the Sky Dome, in Toronto! The guys discuss the build - and match - between Kurt Angle vs. Kane! 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

Your co host owes Kane an apology. This match was good. Wtf Kane as a limited worker? You're only allowed to be so versatile as a monster otherwise it looks goofy. And what other 7 footers are taking bumps like that? Kane's easily a top 5 big man worker all time. Also kinda comes across like you dgaf about Kane and he wasn't good enough. Should distinguish whether it was that or just that they put y'all together randomly w/o much background, hype & insufficient time

I commented a long time ago your match with Kane was "good." I'm sorry. Your match with Kane was very good. Legit very good.

I wish you won The Royal Rumble that year. And you should've been in the main event at WMX8 against HHH. HHH should have defeated Jericho for the title at the rumble or at No Mercy.

You should've won The Royal Rumble. I love you Kurt, lol. You're everyone's top 5 of all time for a reason.

Needless for Kurt to win with a roll up as Kane was headed to surgery for his bad ankle straight after. Kurt should've won decisively here.

Sorry to Kane but I’ve always felt like Kane excels at WM in tag team matches. Waste of a wrestlemania match for angle. Might as well have just had Angle vs HHH
