Triple H helped concussed WWE legend during high profile matchup: "It was just incredible" (Exclusive)
Wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently shared his experience with Triple H while discussing his 2000 SummerSlam match against The Game and The Rock. During the bout, Angle suffered a concussion.
Angle is regarded as one of the best in-ring technicians ever to set foot in the business. As an Olympic gold medalist, he replicated his success in professional wrestling, becoming a five-time World Champion in WWE. He also had a very successful stint in TNA Wrestling before being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017.
Kurt Angle was in conversation with Sportskeeda Senior Editor Bill Apter this week. The veteran mentioned that Triple H took care of him and led him through a match when he was concussed. Kurt revealed that Hunter managed to keep him calm during the bout, and they, along with The Rock, managed to close the contest successfully.
"I was in the ring with him when I got a concussion. It was a Triple Threat with me, Rock, and Triple H. I don't remember anything I did and when I watched the whole match back, I noticed that Triple H led me through the whole match. It was just incredible how he was able to talk to me and keep me not panicking and keep me, I guess, calm and collected." [From 1:41 onwards]
Hunter will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. While he was inducted as part of DX in 2019, he will go in as a singles inductee this year.
