During The Kurt Angle Show, the WWE Hall Of Famer spoke about the match he and The Undertaker had in Japan. Angle went on to explain why he kissed The Phenom after their match.
“I had a great moment with The Undertaker,” Kurt said. “It was very intimate moment. We got done wrestling a match overseas, I believe was in Japan, and I put my hand out to shake Undertaker’s hand. I shook his hand and said, ‘How about a hug?’ He pulls me in for a hug and I grabbed him and kissed him right on the lips. That was my favorite thing I did with Undertaker. He wanted to kill me!"

The Olympic Hero also shared how The Undertaker got back at him by threatening him while he was asleep on the flight back to the USA.
"Later on that night, we’re on the plane and he just wanted me to know that he was thinking about me. He came over and he put his nose this far away from my nose while I’m sleeping. I woke up and he goes, ‘I just want to tell you that I could get you at any time.’ It’s scary, but he didn’t do anything to me, thank God. But I think, I’m not saying that he enjoyed the kiss, but I think he got a kick out of it. He was laughing.” (H/T Fightful)
