Do not adjust your TV set; this really happened.

Plenty of wrestlers are linked by incredible achievements like becoming a Grand Slam champion, main eventing WrestleMania, or being the youngest holder of a certain belt. Others are tied together for the silliest of reasons; this is one of those times!

Starting in 2000, Kurt Angle was in a love triangle with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon after the Olympic gold medalist and the Billion Dollar Princess started to get close. The Game tried to fight off Angle, but, after hitting the Cebebral Assassin with a sledgehammer, Kurt kissed Stephanie. It sounds even worse when you put it like that, but this was one of the tamer romantic storylines during the Attitude Era; we live in better times now.

Kurt Angle's next kiss was far more fun.

The Wrestling Machine had just finished a match with Brock Lesnar; the two were going through a feud where they were both faces who respected each other. They'd developed chemistry unlike any other pair of wrestlers during 2003, but it went further than Angle realised...

Brock extended a hand to Kurt, who gladly accepted. The next thing he knew, the Beast Incarnate was leaning in for a quick peck on the lips. Angle told SportsKeeda in 2023 that he couldn't believe it; Lesnar was always serious about their matches, but he was being silly in the ring.

WWE can be a romantic place sometimes, but not in either case here.

When I'm not trying my hardest to visit all 50 U.S. states, I'm listening to music from the 80s, watching TV from the 90s, and reminiscing about growing up in the 00s. I'm currently living in Melbourne, Australia so WWE premium live events are on Sunday afternoons for me; the absolute dream.
