The Undertaker: 10 Best WWE Stories From Shoot Interviews

4. Chocking Out Kurt Angle For Real

Kurt Angle recounts an Undertaker story in his WWE autobiography 'It's true, it's true'. Angle had been playing around for weeks with Vince McMahon in a game where they would take the other man down by surprise. Much to the Chairman's delight he had actually managed to score a takedown over Kurt and wouldn't let it go - he reminded Angle of it on every occasion he could. It was all good natured, but the Olympic gold medallist wanted revenge, he started to plot a surprise 'play attack' on the boss. The time to execute his own takedown came during a plane ride to Europe. Spotting the boss unawares, Kurt pounced on Vince like a cat... little did he know the can of worms he had opened. The Chairman spent the entirety of the rest of the plane ride waiting to jump Kurt back and eventually did in a takedown that spilled out into the aisle as a fun play fight. One man who had been unaware of all of this was The Undertaker, who was literally a sleeping giant. The scuffle continued and Taker was awoke by the commotion, reacting with shock to what he thought was his boss getting beat up. He reacted the only way he naturally would - jumping on Kurt and applying a chokehold which was seconds away from putting the star to sleep! Luckily Vince explained the situation before Angle's lights went out and they all had a good laugh about it.
