Shane McMahon teases redoing iconic street fight match with Kurt Angle
Around 25 years ago, in 2001, Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon fought each other in one of the most brutal matches in WWE history at King of the Ring.
On the 25th anniversary of the match, McMahon shared a few posts on social media talking about the match and how he reconnected with Angle about it.
“25 Years Ago Today! It was an honor to share the ring with my friend [Kurt Angle] and so proud that the match has stood the test of time.” McMahon further teased redoing the match again with Angle for the fans. “We did it all for you then and would do it all over again today….Maybe we should?“
The match became iconic for the spot in which Angle suplexed Shane McMahon through a glass wall that was part of the stage. Talking about the match, McMahon further wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), “I Just got off the phone with Kurt where we reminisced about this match and how proud we both are of it and that it has withstood the test of time. Thank you all for supporting us both over these many years. You guys are the greatest fans in the world.“
Mike Chioda, who was the referee during that match, also broke his silence on it and reflected on the bout. “I thought I was getting fired by Vince that night! Vince was screaming in the background Tell Kurt to STOP! [Shane McMahon] proved to the WWE universe at KOTR he was ready for professional wrestling!!”
