Kurt Angle found a new version of brown-nosing.
Kurt Angle was one of WWE's top stars at a time when the business was quite different, as wrestlers used to go to extreme lengths to rib each other during the Attitude Era.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Kurt Angle looked back on some memorable ribs. He was asked whether anyone ever ribbed him really badly. He responded by recalling the time that Rikishi gave him a Stinkface in a match after he went to the bathroom.
“Rikishi did. I came in humility, I was humble. I got along with everybody, and I was a team player, but Rikishi got me during a match. He had to go to the bathroom before the match, and he didn’t wipe his butt, and he did the Stinkface on me [laughs], and man, you talk about brown-nose, [laughs], yeah, it stunk so bad, too. I went backstage, he was laughing. I wasn’t even mad. Yes [it was a TV match]. The boys can be cruel," Angle said.
Angle noted that he didn’t want to get Rikishi back, as he didn’t play pranks on anyone. He then stated that no one else ribbed him much.
