This was another highlight, albeit for very different reasons.

Angle and Eddie Guerrero were great friends most of the time, but they did have their run-ins. During the interview, Kurt spoke about backstage scraps with Eddie, and things took a dark turn once he discussed how Big Show manhandled both men to break up a fight behind the scenes.

Kurt recalled seeing Eddie looking deathly pale and unwell during the day before shows, then being amazed at how he'd spring to life upon strolling through the curtain. Further, Angle noticed that Guerrero was struggling to keep pace with some of the faster sequences in their matches throughout 2004. He put that down to injuries carried over from Eddie's car wreck in WCW years before.

Nobody knew Guerrero had heart problems at the time. Looking back, it makes so much sense to Kurt, and that's pretty damn chilling. Austin visibly found it challenging to talk about this subject too much. That's hardly a surprise, or something he can be blamed for.
