Kurt Angle talks about how difficult it is to pull punches

According to creative, Kurt Angle was supposed to beat Guerrero while his hands were tied behind the back. The Olympic Gold Medalist on the latest edition of The Kurt Angle Show spoke about how difficult it was for him to beat up a handcuffed Eddie Guerrero.

Kurt said, “When you know somebody’s handcuffed, and you have to beat them up, it’s really hard pulling punches because when you’re natural, you got your hands in front, you’re protecting yourself. So you can block some of the punches; they won’t get to your face.” 

The WWE Hall of Famer further stated that one is vulnerable if someone has hands tied behind the back.

. “It is a very difficult thing to do is to get heat on someone when they are handcuffed, especially if you don’t want to stiff them. And you don’t want to stiff Eddie Guerrero,” Kurt Angle added.

Kurt Angle was scared to knockout Eddie Guerrero

The incident took place a year before Eddie Guerrero’s unfortunate demise. Kurt Angle and other professional wrestlers knew he was not in a healthy condition. So The Olympic Gold Medalist could not knock out the late Eddie Guerrero when handcuffed.

Kurt Angle added, “So Eddie did not like to be stiff, and I think a lot of the reason was he was really banged up. The less physicality, the better for Eddie. I think that if he was a hundred percent healthy, he would have said, ‘Lay it in, do whatever you want.’ But Eddie, at this particular time, was very vulnerable. So this was a tough time for Eddie.”
