Kurt Angle recently spoke about his experience working with Brock Lesnar while talking on his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show. The former WWE Champion revealed that the two men did not initially get along because of something Brock Lesnar had said.

While Kurt Angle is a former Olympic Gold Medalist in amateur wrestling, even Brock Lesnar has a background in amateur wrestling. Angle revealed that Lesnar had said he would crush Angle in an amateur match, which did not sit well with him.

“Someone asked him how he’d do against me in an amateur wrestling match and Brock said 'I’d crush him, I’m too big for him'. That was like, okay we have a problem, I’m going to have to confront Brock because when the boys start talking it gets really crazy."

Although Kurt Angle initially found Lesnar's comments disrespectful, he said the incident helped break the ice between them.

''It actually broke the ice between us, now we could start communicating and feel comfortable around each other.''

It’s true! It’s damn true!
