Kurt Angle says he and Eddie Guerrero were like brothers.
Angle faced Guerrero a number of times during his career, as they were two of WWE's top stars during the Ruthless Aggression era. In addition to their battles in the ring, they also fought backstage on more than one occasion.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Kurt Angle looked back on getting into a fight with Eddie Guerrero.
“Okay, Eddie and I had a little scuffle one night. What happened was I was in a faction called The Honor Society. It was with Luther Reigns and Mark Jindrak, and we were supposed to get heat on the Guerreros. It was the end of the show, we went out in the ring, and Luther and Mark Jindrak beat up Eddie and I was beating up Chavo. We got backstage at the Gorilla, where you enter the arena. When we went backstage Eddie started yelling at me. He said ‘You were stiffing me. You were hitting me hard for real.’ I’m like, ‘Eddie, I didn’t touch you.’ He’s like, ‘Yes, you did’ and he pushes me. I said, ‘Eddie, don’t do that again.’ He pushed me again, I shoved him, and he tried to double-leg me. I got him in the front face lock and I choked him out. That was that day. The thing was, when we went to talk, I went over to him and said, ‘Hey, I want to apologize.’ He goes, 'I’m not ready to apologize.' I said, 'Oh really?' We start going at it again. So Eddie and I were like brothers. We loved each other and we hated each other hard. But that was right after that occurred. That’s when Eddie calmed down and said 'Listen, I know, let’s just let bygones be bygones. I love you Kurt, you know I do.' So that photo right there is right after that incident," Angle said.
