"Took my pants down all the way"- 54-year-old legend recalls showing his genitals to Vince McMahon before quitting WWE
WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently shared a hilarious story about the time he had to pull down his pants to show his balls to Vince McMahon.
The 54-year-old is arguably one of the greatest stars to have stepped inside the squared circle. However, his glorious career was also full of injuries, ultimately leading to him hanging up his boots in 2019.
During a recent edition of The Kurt Angle Show, the Olympic Gold Medalist recalled taking down his pants in front of Vince McMahon to show how bruised he was after a match with Rob Van Dam, where he tore his hamstring, groin, and ab muscles:
"I went to the next day, we had TV. We had three house shows before the TV. Next day, we had to go to SmackDown and I showed up early at the writers meeting. I walked into the meeting room and the people, the writers were behind me and Vince was in front of me in a desk, the front of the room. And I walked, took my pants down all the way down to my ankles, all you could see is my balls and everything completely nude. And if they’re black, it’s black, my leg’s black all the way down to my foot."
The WWE Hall of Famer added that he soon left the company after the incident:
"Vince is like, 'Oh my god, I guess you’re not wrestling tonight,' I said no, I’m not, Vince, we need to have a meeting. That’s when I quit." [H/T- ITRwrestling]
