10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Kurt Angle
8. THAT Stephanie McMahon Angle
Stephanie McMahon often goes missing from WWE television, but she's never shy of partaking in her favourite hobby upon returning: emasculating full-time performers.
2018 saw Steph admonish Kurt for allowing SmackDown to invade the red brand prior to Survivor Series, stating the show had become a mockery on his watch, and that she didn't want to hear "his pathetic excuses." Like so many before him, Angle was torn to pieces by WWE's most toxic TV character, and he'll never get his own back.
As bad as these interactions were, WWE will proudly revisit them whenever they feel like presenting Steph as dominant, but the same can't be said for her dabblings with the 'Olympic Hero' 17 years prior.
2000 saw Angle, Triple H, and Stephanie engage in a brief love triangle storyline, with Kurt repeatedly trying to woo McMahon away from her devious husband. Tension was in the air, and Angle even sneaked a kiss just as the program was heating up. It soon met a sudden end, though: 'The Game' reportedly told the writers that Stephanie leaving him for Kurt wasn't believable. Triple H defeated the Olympian at Unforgiven, and the story was promptly removed from history.
