Yep

[@michaelking2582]

I see everyday, "who is your Mt. Rushmore", and every body always says Stone Cold, or Rock, or 'Taker. I laugh. At one 5-8 year juncture in Professional Wrestling, no one, and I mean NO ONE, can touch Kurt Angle. Not even in the same BALL PARK !!! Because he had "credibility" nobody else had. And his work, just like Bret & Benoit's, had a "snap" to it. A lot like Arn, from back-in-the-day. I truly believe this. From a guy who saw his 1st wrestling match in 1973, since he debuted, other than POSSIBLY, and I said possibly, MJF, Kurt has been the last Generational Talent. I mean that walked in the door and was good at EVERYTHING from DAY 1 !!! I don't believe we will ever see that again.....

[@user-nl9me3er7w]

I had one Perc in my life. I went to ER with a toothache. They gave me one and tried to discharge me an hour later. I said, nope, and I need to take a nap and sleep this off and give me Tylenol 3's. I never understood why people got addicted, and I was in the medical field. When I took that pill I did, I would have gave up sex. I have never felt that good in my life.

[@ajourneysaved4311]

I totally understand why he was addicted and why he felt dependent. That level of pain and the crazy schedule while working injured. I'm glad he got through it safely. A lot of people don't. The 3 I's still mean something, especially Integrity!

[@LordRaptor]

I'm glad he's not shying away from the fact that he really was the best wrestler in the business.

[@theunhingedgamer3762]

because he honestly was and unlike a lot of talents today he didn't let his ability go to his head and it got him far in the business

[@cianreidy97]

Him saying it hurts his feelings but also will not take issue with fans doing it because he knows they mean it as a term of endearment genuinely makes me want to not call him Perc Angle anymore, I really liked how he handled that.

[@Kerwin-white]

You a a good mature man

[@Marcell2aG]

I feel the same way. It made me put myself in his shoes. Would I be okay with “Perc” replacing my first name after having to relieve daily pain to perform? Probably not. I appreciate the clarity of him never wrestling while high, meaning he was choosing to endure that pain for the fans and his fellow wrestlers.

[@AxleTrade]

Years of the "you suck" chant too. It's the same thing and around the 2010s you can tell he didn't really like it but knew it was also a term of endearment by the fans so he took no issue with the prevalence even during his HOF induction.

[@MichaelHemotoxin]

The idea that people celebrate the worst times of his life is fucked up and it always has been. I really never got how fans could see how calling him Perc angel was ever a term of endearment. Dude is legit chained to wrestling fans in such a way he can’t even say fuck you for making Perc angle a thing.

That was really mature of Kurt, felt his pain when he said it hurt him and not that I did use it before but I’ll let it go out of my mind now.

This is something I struggled with after a back injury. It wasn't just the fact that all my pain went away, the pills just made me so damn _happy_ .

[@ItDoesntMatterReally]

They couldn't have been because WWE wouldn't allow a heavily medicated Angle to wrestle. He can justify it in his head all he wants, but starting and ending the day with pain pills is what drove him to do the crazy stuff he did in TNA. He knew he could moonsault off of a cage, do a flipping seated senton off of a stage, or attempt a 450 for the first and only time in his carer because he knew that the pills were going to be there for him at the end of the day to make things feel fine, and there again in the morning to make sure the pain didn't keep him in bed. If I could trade Perc Angle for a happy, healthy, still insanely talented Kurt Angle who may have erred toward a more safe style, I'd take the happy and healthy Kurt Angle. He doesn't need to do crazy spots to be one of the best to ever do it.

@@kingstarscream320empathy is lost on this generation and we’re all worse off because of it. Stay great, buddy.

[@klassvice9752]

Kurt was truly a generational talent. He could do it all and that's why he's so respected. The fans LOVE Kurt because he was a true example of greatness, and he STILL is

[@owl509]

Kurt Angle is the GOAT

[@RobRotz-t6g]

Hearing this, Im glad ive never personally called him perc angle. Granted i had stopped watching during that time of his career. Ive been around addiction my whole life from family and friends even my own for a short time. I know how it makes people feel. He understands at least most fans dont mean harm by it still doesnt make it right. Kurt you are the man. One of the goats would love to see you back as a manager of some sort you have a knack for cutting grade A promos. And with wwe going uncut on netflix unleash a different version of attitude era kurt as a manager would be must see tv

[@Slhazzard]

PERC ANGLE WAS MY FAVORITE WRESTLER. Smackdown vs raw 2006 he was unstoppable. GOATED.

[@work-outrobert]

CVV thanks for the shoutout on Cameo

[@CVVCLIPS]

You bet!

[@naderzein2435]

After seeing this ill never call him that again. He's right it is a term of endearment but I didn't know it hurt him to hear it. Kurts the GOAT

[@kingstarscream320]

Shame on you. Clearly you’ve never suffered from addiction. Maybe now you will have more sympathy for other addicts too.

[@tylerstout3809]

Kurt was my favorite wrestler when he was on his tna run, gave me something to look forward to when I was a kid! Recovery is always a beautiful thing and I hope he hears that

[@FedUpVet]

Damn Kurt is looking rough these days

[@judemabuzatv3209]

Growing old tends to do that.

[@murphymoerf]

Apart from the neck he looks like a pretty average 56 year old man to me. It's weird seeing him "old" and with skinnier arms, but all things considered I'd say he's doing just fine

[@amirpourghoureiyan1637]

Severe neck trauma and atrophy across his body, all done in the pursuit of entertaining us

[@TheRealDirtyDanIsIn]

To break your neck twice and still was able to wrestle and in general just be able to walk when people who have broke their necks either died or got paralyzed forever or hopefully just temporarily is gifting at the most. Stay healthy Mr. Angle and please enjoy you're retirement with you're family and friends. Thank you for the great years of you're sacrifices and entertainment. Much love and peace. And thank you CCV for pumping out these amazing episodes you bloody legend!

[@jedimasterjosh87]

I hate when fans call him “perc Angle”. He has said that he never wrestled while high, and I believe him.

[@namelessfacelessyoutuber6017]

I don't believe him because that's not how the pills work! They build up in your system and it could take up to 24 hours to wear off and 48 hours to fully leave your system!

[@kushclarkkent6669]

I'm sad a legit American hero had to battle addiction. Kurt's been through a lot and from what I've read, losing his sister had a really profound impact on him. I'm glad he got clean and he's still with us to share these great stories.

[@usamatexas]

Perc Angle is a GOATed nickname he was the absolute best but if he doesn’t like the nickname then fuck it hate seeing him upset over it

[@WCGreeny]

I appreciate how real he is in this interview. Not everyone can do that.

[@MedalWelder]

Perc Angle was awesome cause those painkillers gave him more drive to do some crazy shit in the ring. All wrestlers do some kind of drug or drink so I ain’t hating. I think it’s funny how nobody talks about the USO brothers having DUIs.

[@JamesStephens-qk9xo]

Kurt was my hero growing up. The segments he did with Austin and the McMahons are truly legendary. So happy to see guys like him, Matt and Jeff and HBK are still with us after getting clean and sober. Having battled with my own addictions, I've got an even greater respect for the guys who got out clean on the other side. It also gives me a slightly better understanding of the ones we lost to drugs and alcohol. The world was robbed of guys like Scott Hall and Eddie well before their times and it saddens me knowing they loved the business more than life and still had so much they wanted to give. They could've developed some serious talent after hanging up the boots.

[@DukeDeNiroDollas]

0:13 its all love Kurt a term of endearment.

[@markwilliams7054]

Okay so I guess he has to be okay with it then…

[@fr3dv103]

Reminding someone of their darkest time isn't a term of endearment

[@purplefidelity5162]

Maybe to you. To him-whether he wants it to be or not, is a reminder of the darkest point of his life. Respect that and leave it alone.

[@Scrubthulhu]

That's like twisting the knife and calling it love

[@yashchaturvedi4782]

I love that Kurt is all chill and humble almost all the time, but when he said that he was the best in the business, i loved it even more

[@Stonehopper1067HMG]

Damn Kurt looks like he needs a Perc right now

[@battlerap314]

He has been through a lot with his body he looks good to me

[@Stonehopper1067HMG]

@ good for a skeleton

[@battlerap314]

@Stonehopper1067HMG he been through alot you probably wouldn't even be standing if you want through what he went through. Cut it out bruh he does look good for what he has been through

[@Stonehopper1067HMG]

@@battlerap314 I wouldn’t be doing the same drugs that he did. I would’ve found a better life.

[@PPP-dr8ng]

​@@Stonehopper1067HMG you wouldn't do it because you don't wrestle weekly with a damaged neck

[@fatbobby420]

The man put his hurt and soul into his craft and didn't let the sauce get in the way. I thought he sucked as a kid but the older i become, nothing but respect

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

Shouts out to Kurt man, he did some of the best stuff in the industry. I hope he continues to live a happy and better life now! Bless up to him

[@jjseluk]

I massively Respect the fact he is man enough to admit being called Perc Angle hurts his feelings but humble enough to know fans mean it as a term of endearment. Also glad he’s getting the recognition and respect he truly deserves!

[@JackNapiier]

Man what a fuxking month of legend after legend got interviewed on this channel !! 🔥🔥

[@Spankyscorner316]

Thanks!

[@idgaffub]

Im so glad kurt is so open to spe Ak about the name and speak on how he feels about it and he is just great

[@Helzakath]

The fact that it was all Kurt fighting through pain clean makes it even more incredible. Will never refer to him as Perc Angle again. What an absolute legend.

[@Keadas1991]

Percules was unbeatable

[@maxtogbenou245]

Big respect for Kurt! God bless you! 🙏 You have done so much for WWE and for us Fans around the World. Greetings from Germany. I wich you all the best!

[@MirthGoddess]

Kurt was one of the few things that had me hooked to TNA in it's heyday. Where others were lesser versions of themselves in other companies, he was the BEST. Thanks for the memories Kurt.

[@papifuego5273]

Respect to being in a dark place and still putting in so much work for me as a child to just be entertained.

[@S_King117]

Man regardless to what this man is a living legend who was great at what he did and very entertaining at that. Thank you Kurt for giving me great childhood memories 🙏🏾
