The Kurt Angle Show
Kurt Angle is a 14-time professional wrestling world champion, with titles collected in WWE, TNA and Japan. He is in both the WWE and TNA/Impact Hall of Fames, a two-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion, and has also won a gold medal in free style wrestling at the 1996 Summer Games with, as he likes to say, ‘a broken freaking neck.’ At every stop in his career, Angle has reached the top of the mountain and now he’s taking his Three I’s; Intensity, Intelligence and Integrity, to the podcast world as he joins host Paul Bromwell to take a look back at some of the matches, feuds and moments that turned an Olympic gold medalist into one of the greatest sports entertainers of all time. It’s True. It’s damn true.
Our Editor's Take
The Kurt Angle Show is for wrestling fans and for fans of Kurt Angle himself. This podcast is all about the legendary wrestler. He became most famous for winning wrestling gold at the 1996 Olympics. It's this determination and competitiveness that is prevalent throughout this compelling podcast. Host Paul Bromwell interviews Kurt in each episode about his exciting career. Together they review old competitions, including that famous moment at the Olympics when he won gold. Plus, with many episodes created since 2021, listeners have plenty to enjoy.
Special guests, including wrestlers and promoters, join The Kurt Angle Show to share their wrestling stories. Canadian wrestler Josh Alexander talks about battling through injuries. Other inspiring wrestlers to join the show are Jay Lethal and Jason Jordan. WWE founder Vince McMahon is also a special guest on the podcast. Kurt shares his first impressions of Vince and what it was like working with him.
Paul and Kurt also dedicate episodes to particular contests throughout Kurt's career. Listeners will hear clips from the matches and all the show notes. At Backlash in 2001, Kurt was up against Chris Benoit in a tag-team submission match. Paul asks him about the numbness he felt in the buildup to the game, the so-called stinger. At Armageddon 2002, Kurt faced Big Show for the WWE championship title. The show notes reference ankle locks, choke slams, and a final F5 before the pinning of Big Show. Other contests include Victory Road, when Kurt partnered with Samoa Joe. During the episode, they also discuss Kurt's beating of The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. These were great matches, each with unique storylines.
Throughout the series, Kurt makes time to talk to his engaged community. In special "Ask Kurt Anything" episodes, Kurt will respond to questions from listeners. It can be on anything from particular moves to the common claims that wrestling is fake.
