Kurt Angle on his backstage fight with Eddie Guerrero

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

Rest In Peace to the legendary Eddie Guerro

[@dabellwrites6888]

Gotta give it to Eddie for fighting an Olympic gold medalist.

[@carlDJS]

That backstage fight with Eddie never gets old, lol. I miss Eddie so much, man. Damn.

[@dustinmasterson411]

UPN 23, thursday/friday night smackdowns were the best of the best. Better than Raw. It had heart.

[@DrinkmoWater.]

Everything changed after the loss of Eddie Guerrero One of a kind.

[@dukes1993724]

Kurt is mixing up his dates by about a year. Eddie died at the end of 2005. These stories he’s referencing happened about a year prior, not 1-2 months.

[@hush5640]

Kurt always comes across as genuine top bloke

[@Rschr101]

RIP Eddie. He had some badass matches with Kurt and Benoit and even Edge back then. Good old days.

[@International_man_of_mystery]

Just imagining Big Show picking each person up by their waistband with one hand each like a parent with 2 little kids lol

[@juniorhernandez3347]

Pretty sure everyone made the “oh no” head sway when Kurt said Eddie tried a double leg takedown on Kurt.

[@JadenArchibald]

That Lumberjack Match took place on September 9 2004 SD!

[@silverback9572]

I think that Eddie match happened in the Fall of 2004. It was the night The Big Show returned. I remember watching that night. Rest in peace, Eddie

[@TophDaGreat]

The odd Eddie moment I remember was the match with Benoit at ONS in 05. Near the start there was a spot where Eddie just rolled out the ring for a bit and just looked gassed. Crowd was chanting all kinds of crazy shit at JBL so it wasn't as noticeable but I thought something was off when I watched at the time.

[@jamesstewart8377]

I never appreciated how good that era was at the time but looking back I can see how great it truly was with hindsight.

[@justamurse5646]

I heard Angle talk about this fight before and when he said “gave him the hips” when Eddie tried to double leg him I popped 😂 sounds like something a wrestling coach in high school would absolutely say

[@nilsriedel63]

Rest in Piece Eddie Guerrero We miss you thank you Kurt Angle

[@imalwaysbluffing]

That shows why JBL was a great commentator, he knew what we were all thinking and how to say it in a succinct manner

[@alexyerkey3141]

I remember Kurt mentioning his last of three matches with booker t, there was a three count that happened too early.

[@kingphoenix418]

Lmao “Why would you try to double leg an Olympic gold medalist” that definitely sounds like jbl

[@jessedewayne2304]

Man I love kurt R.i.p Eddie
