Hulk Hogan Tried to Impose His Will in MSG but a WWE Legend Humbled Him Instantly: “I Knocked Him Off”

Hulk Hogan is known as the face of the classic era of pro wrestling. He has been with the WWE since the first WrestleMania. The Superstars he performed with watched him while growing up, so the respect for him among the Superstars is impeccable. But once, Hogan tried to go in a different direction than how the script was originally planned for the show. Recently, a WWE legend reminisced about that incident.

At Madison Square Garden, a WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, who was just starting his wrestling career at that time, did something unexpected. When Hulk Hogan imposed his own idea for changing the script, the Olympic gold medalist stopped him. Kurt revealed this incident while talking on his YouTube channel The Kurt Angle show.

“We had a house show at Madison Square Garden [….] it was a six-man tag three on three and Hulk Hogan during the match I had to hit him in the back and knock him off the ring apron so we can get a quick false finish in so we can make the fans believe it was going to be the finish when I went over to hit him I hit him and he held on to the rope and stayed over the ring apron.”

“I’m like he’s staring at the finish like this he should be on the floor, selling so the next time I went over and I laid into him as hard as (laughs) I could and I knocked him off the apron the second time,” said Angle.

Kurt made an honest judgment

The decision of Kurt Angle to go according to the script was not to disrespect the Hollywood Hogan. He explained how he felt bad, after his act of going against Hogan. But in the defense of Kurt, he didn’t grow up watching the Hulk Hogan like other Superstar. Kurt was new to the show business, and he was just adhering to the script.

The credit for Kurt Angle’s success can be given to his persistent hard work and dedication. Whether it’s the freestyle wrestling competition in the Olympics or the show business, Angle never fails to give his 1oo percent. His hard work has assisted him in achieving the Hall of Fame by WWE, along with the other titles he won.
