Kurt Angle, the WWE Hall of Famer, recently shared his thoughts on various topics during the latest episode of his Kurt Angle Show. One of the highlights of the episode was Angle discussing the lackluster run of Luther Reigns in WWE and his experience working with the late Eddie Guerrero in 2004.
When asked about doing comedy with Eddie Guerrero, Angle responded, “Yeah. But that was Eddie. You had to do comedy with Eddie because he was so damn entertaining. People like to laugh when they see Eddie Guerrero. And that’s what Eddie did. He made people laugh.”
Addressing the reports that convinced Eddie Guerrero to lose at SummerSlam and why Luther Reigns didn’t work out, Angle was quick to dismiss the claims made by Dave Meltzer. He clarified, “No, Dave Meltzer is full of s**t. Okay. I had nothing to do with it. It was all Vince McMahon’s call, and you know what? Who needed the win more? Eddie beat me at WrestleMania. Then he got beat for the title against JBL. So we kind of both need the win. And I never in a million years would say, Hey, make sure Luther Reigns and Eddie Guerrero team or go head to head, and, in the next program, Luther Rains wasn’t even ready.”
Angle went on to explain that Luther Reigns didn’t put in the necessary work ethic and didn’t spend enough time training in the ring. He stated, “As talented as he was, this guy didn’t work very hard in the ring. He didn’t spend that extra time before the show to get in the ring and train. That’s why Luther Reigns didn’t work out. He didn’t pan out because of his lack of work ethic.”
Angle made it clear that he would never suggest a match between Luther Reigns and Eddie Guerrero because it wouldn’t make sense. He added, “If Luther were ready, I would’ve pushed it, but he wasn’t ready. He was full of shit on those two things. I never even spoke to Eddie about it. Vince McMahon made the call. I didn’t even speak to Vince about it.”
These revelations from Kurt Angle provide a behind-the-scenes look at the decision-making process in WWE and shed light on the importance of work ethic in the wrestling industry. Angle’s insights into his time working with Eddie Guerrero also highlight the late wrestler’s ability to entertain and make people laugh.
