10 Observations From An Evening With Kurt Angle

2. Ribbing Edge Over Hair Vs. Hair

The greatest story of the night dates back to 2002, when Edge faced Kurt Angle in a hair vs. hair match at Judgement Day.

Angle recalled being in Vince€™s office the day of the show and finding out he€™d be getting his head shave. Vince commented that €œI€™m sick of looking at your receding hair line€, which provoked a roar of laughter in the room.

Vince and Angle then played a rib on Edge where they told him he€™d be getting his head shaved and only let him in on the joke at the gorilla position five minutes before the match. Edge remarked €œWhat am I gonna do Kurt? I€™m a weird looking guy, all I have is my hair€.

We all know how the story ended, with Kurt getting his head shaved and the temporary headgear and wig combo he sported on WWE for several weeks after the show.

This story was another example of Angle engaging with the crowd whenever they asked him a question, he would try to give as much information as he could to make sure that audience member felt like they got their moneys worth.
