In the interview, Angle said that he and McMahon didn’t part on good terms and the two didn’t speak for eleven years after he left WWE and reconciled only when he made his comeback. He added that he’s always considered McMahon to be a father figure to him.
Delving into the details, The American Hero said that when he announced his decision to quit in 2006 in a meeting, McMahon pulled out a series of pages that had detailed threats from Angle, something that the latter didn’t remember doing as he was high on painkillers and somas. He recalled:
“He pulls out 5 typed pages of text messages and phone call messages I left him. And I’m reading it and it says, ‘Vince, I’m gonna beat the $h#t out of you when I see you. Vince, you better answer the call or I’m gonna kick your a**.’ Really, really crazy stuff. At the time, unfortunately, I was taking painkillers and somas and every once in a while, I would blackout.”
He revealed that he then left the room and broke down.
The great Kurt Angle’s request for a release was eventually accepted and he left the company and went on to sign a contract with Total Nonstop Action (TNA) wrestling. Upon his comeback in 2017, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and had his last match against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35 (in a losing cause).
