During a recent appearance at the Steel City Comic Con, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle discussed WWE’s move into more family-friendly PG content soon after he left in 2006.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his 2006 WWE exit: “I had a lot of issues going on — personal issues, I was getting injured quite a bit, the company was still working me to the bone. I had no choice. So, I left in 2006 and went to TNA.”
On WWE’s PG era being a good move for the company: “I liked [the Attitude Era], don’t get me wrong, I loved the Attitude Era, that was the best era in wrestling but they got a little crazy, a little too crazy. I mean, one character was a pimp, another character was a porn star? It was ridiculous!”
