Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar’s relationship goes way back in WWE. Both superstars faced each other several times in the ring. But outside the ring, both of them are good friends. The Olympic Gold medalist even once confirmed that he and Lesnar are good friends off camera.
Both Lesnar and Angle played freestyle wrestling before joining WWE. Although King Kurt went on to win a Gold Medal in Olympics for his wrestling skills, Lesnar was an NCAA champion. But this didn’t stop both wrestlers from going toe to toe in the ring. The story of The Beast’s Unofficial match with Angle is still famous among wrestling fans.
