10 Things We Learned From Something Else To Wrestle With On Biker Undertaker
8. Fully Loaded 2000 Changed The Undertaker's Opinion On Kurt Angle
The match between Kurt Angle and The Undertaker at Fully Loaded 2000 was supposed to be a one-off attraction that would bolster the "Triple Main Event" branding for the pay-per-view. There was nothing else for either man to do anyway, and they ended up having a short, albeit fun, seven-minute match.
It wasn't one 'Taker fancied when it was pitched to him.
Bruce's recollection of a bemused Deadman approaching him backstage is pretty funny. The Undertaker didn't have a clue what the hell he was going to do with Angle at Fully Loaded, and he actually thought it'd be impossible to have a good match. Prichard, sticking to his creative guns, knew differently.
After the match, 'Taker again approached Bruce and said he'd been surprised by how good Kurt was. He immediately pitched a program against Angle, and said to Prichard and Vince McMahon he wanted to work extensively with the relative rookie.
That's why they worked again at Survivor Series.
