I think Cornette said repeatedly that Shawn was really insecure. This seems in line with that. But that said, perhaps this means less than it seems. Kurt said recently that it was Shawn that came to him before the WM match and told him he wants Kurt to win by tapping Shawn out to make him look strong for a feud with Batista. This was a major WM match, between two of the best ever, so the result of this match meant a lot too. Both had their fair share of great moments prior to this match I'd say, so it was actually pretty big of Shawn to go and do this.

Not really. It's a relatively tame way of telling a bully or asshole that they can clean up their act before something happens. What bullies want is a reaction and for other people to be bothered by their stupid antics, which the bully wants to explain to himself as him being superior to people who want no part of his ineptitude. Telling them that you're not afraid of them lets them know that you disapprove of their actions and avoiding them does not mean that you are incapable of handling them but just disgusted and have better things to do so they can as well stop being cringy and if they don't then stiffer measures may be introduced.

This was in the middle of Shawn's redemption song. He might've felt a little guilty about his past and at this point was putting over the newer guys, something the old him wouldn't dream of doing, particularly at a WM. A new hungry guy with the skill level and tenacity of Angle would understandably have something to prove to someone with HBK's reputation, and Shawn might've sensed that. Hearing Angle's side of this story, it makes much more sense why Shawn would say that. Shit, he might have saw the ghost of Bret Hart for all we know.

[@kwrbt2979]

How does hearing Angle's side of this story make sense out of why Shawn said that? Angle himself doesn't even understand why he said it.

[@labbaby189]

@KWRBT2 First time I heard the story was from Shawn. Like any other HBK story (Taker at WM14, Montreal screwjob, etc) there's always holes in his side of the story, mostly because he doesn't know why ppl look at him crazy for the crazy shit he says/does. From Angle's perspective, this is just another day at the office. He didn't kiss HBK's ass like everyone else. When someone with an ego like Shawn, albeit reformed, meets with a focused individual like Angle, the end result is usually "go home Superman, you're drunk".

Kurt and Shawn had a weird timeline prior to this. Like Shawn was the biggest star in the WWE for years and right when he left, Kurt Angle became a big star for years. And then for 3 years, they were doing their own thing on 2 separate shows. (Kurt on SD, HBK on RAW) I kinda get why HBK said that to Kurt cause it's two of the greatest in the business that never seen eye-to-eye before that Wrestlemania.

[@immortallegacy100]

I think a bit of context for Shawn's comments is necessary because he was legitimately intimidated by Kurt Angle's work rate and wasn't sure if he could keep up. He mentions in his book and DVD that he trained extra hard so as not to disappoint fans and also so that he wouldn't be outclassed by Angle. Shawn Michaels is one of the greatest of all-time and views himself as one of the greatest of all-time, but Kurt Angle was one of the few guys who he felt he had to train extra hard for. I doubt Angle or Conrad are reading this comment, but if they are I would recommend hearing what Michaels had to say about the match and Angle. Sounds to me like his comments are a testament to just how good Michaels thought Angle was in 2005. Also, Angle intentionally or not is an intimidating guy, and for someone who's only interaction with him was basically a dismissal, I can see Michaels having a chip on his shoulder. That's what made both guys so good in my opinion.

Also, Kurt has a habit of stretching the truth a bit just like all wrestlers, but the difference in what he had to say in his RF Video shoot interview a decade ago compared to now is proof in my mind that Kurt is more interested in telling a good story and putting himself over, which shouldn't be surprising.

@@chrismorgan8330 That wasn't the point at all. The point was to try and prove that those kids were not "Tough Enough" to handle the pro-wrestling ring. They thought that putting a legitimate-shooter out there (Kurt Angle) that he could make them look bad. Well, it backfired because Daniel Puder was a legitimate Mixed Martial-Artist and while he may not have know much or anything about the style of pro-wrestling, he certainly wasn't a punk and he proved that. The whole idea was just brick-stupid. You had the Big Show out there throwing working-chops that no one was selling. One guy was even laughing.

[@T3l3MuNd0]

OMG the "sexy kurt" song he made in Smackdown with Sensational Sherri R.I.P. I'll never forget it. I was laughing out of his talent & him pulling it of with Sherri. & then once Angle attacked her. .. Sherri's scream, drama, tears, sell etc....made me go back to hating Angle again. 🤣😂🤣 But more like "Aww why you gotta do that Angle....I was Rooting for you until now" 🤣😂🤣😂

Conrad has created a podcast empire.

[@ninjanunch27]

2 of the best of all time 🐐🐐

[@wilbertrobles1123]

Got to respect our Olympic Hero! Stepped into the ring against them all. Unlike scsa who weasels his way out matches with Hogan, Goldberg, Lesnar using his neck as an excuse. Then squashes Spike Dudley, Santino and stuns old folks with the same neck. Win or lose always a great match with Kurt Angle. Can dish it out and take it as well. True top tier performer who’s legacy as one of the Greats is cemented.

[@g-dub5272]

Angle in my top 3 all time (next to Rock and Austin)

[@soramirez5473]

Ultimate Warrior, Kurt Angle, Christopher Daniels

[@Rodzilla97]

my top 3 all time are HBK(goat), Undertaker, Angle

[@Amos_Huclkeberry]

Kurt could've probably ripped his arms off! He's an olympic freakin gold medalist in wrestling!

[@dacechasinghawk3910]

Only reason I think Shawn said that was because maybe he thought it was gonna turn into a shoot? I didn't like Shawn back then but have tons of respect for him now that I've smartened up to what he did.

[@nathanlewis6480]

Should of tested him on the spot. He is lucky Kurt didn’t eliminate Shawns smile. Success to this channel!!

[@cappy2282]

Kurt vs Shawn is one of my favorites. I would have loved to have seen Kurt's face when Shawn told him that 😂

[@diggadirt393]

Reading the title I literally laughed out loud

[@2682shark]

Shawn isn’t dumb, pretty sure he knows Kurt would destroy him in a shoot fight.. I think he was referring to in-ring working,

[@ThePunk01]

That's exactly how I took it

[@Rodzilla97]

yea he was just saying if you get stiff and start shooting, you'll get it right back. i won't back down. Angle respected that, and they had an amazing match. 3 classics together really, and the 4th(their last match on raw, was quite solid as well, but interrupted sorta)

[@bassclay100]

i love how when hbk left in april of 98 the wwe took off when he came back in summer of 2002 after austin left i stoped liking the wwe

[@EGarrett01]

It's not a coincidence. He and his buddies were heels who pissed off the audience and wouldn't put anyone else over so they just made the product frustrating.

[@Rschr101]

As did most of the world.

[@marcusmcgee1398]

For me the angle v Michaels matches were some of the best wrestling I’ve ever seen

[@ThePunk01]

Idk why Angel acted like he didn't know what Shawn meant here but on WWE untold, he says why HBK said that. Shawn meant that he isn't afraid to go in the ring with Kurt because Kurt is known to be intense

[@Waynes-Way]

Kurt Angle is just awesome

[@stewartburns2473]

my dream match would be Kurt Angle vs Bret Hart (in their prime) what a match that would be!

[@Ccolonrod]

That would've been an amazing match

[@fishhookism]

He probrably said it because every other wrestler beat him up and he didn't want Angle added to the list.

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

Didn't Cornette say there are very few wrestlers who couldn't beat the crap out of HBK in a real fight.

[@brandontbrown1]

When he would hit the Angle Slam with swag and pop right up!!!

Damn.. kurt is looking in extreme conditioning, vascular as all hell and looks 10 years younger.

[@mattysquizzato7094]

He may be clean and sober off rec. Drugs and alcohol; but I'm almost certain he's on TRT and GH therapy. Heck, he sounds like he's slurring his speech here a little. Hope he's still doing good.

[@JW0143]

@@mattysquizzato7094 True TRT is a therapeutic dose to get T levels to normal ranges. It won't make you look like that.

Lol. If you have money a doctor will claim anything is normal levels.

[@RakanRabih]

The only reason angle is relevant, is because Shawn put him over at Mania 21… And gave him a classic at Vengeance.. wakeup Kurt angle cant be compared to Shawn Michaels..

[@jonsnipe5484]

Kurt was a wrecking machine.. best pure athlete in the business

[@bendassut6533]

Would have loved to have seen a prim Kurt Angle in the ufc

[@Uzaair]

I think Shawn Michaels was just letting Kurt know that he was up for defending himself, regardless of whether it meant he would end up getting his ass handed to him - which he probably knew would be the outcome.

[@gambit3950]

Is this Kurt angle official channel?

[@sidmahasuverachai3722]

Didnt he take advantage of Cena at No Way Out? I listened somewhere kurt said if himself that Vince told him to prep Cena for mania. Kurt was pissed at something at the time (might be his health) and just went at Cena HARD. Sure the match was great but it didnt need to be as physical as it went down.

I bet Shawn did that because HHH was shit talking him about how legit Kurt was, and how Kurt could probably hurt him. We all know how HHH can get Shawn riled up, and vice versa.

I loved Kurt's WrestleMania video, but I think the Oscar that year should have went to John Cena and JBL. If you haven't seen the WrestleMania promos for that year check them out. They were all great
