In a previous interview with Fightful, Kurt Angle shared his experience with the 2006 WWE Draft and described his reaction to being drafted to ECW.
Angle revealed that he didn’t have any prior knowledge about where he would be drafted to. He said,
“I didn’t know on any of the drafts. I didn’t know where I was going or what I was doing. I wasn’t told anything. It was just a surprise. You’re sitting there waiting and your name comes up. I think I got drafted in the first round for ECW and the second round for Smackdown and I didn’t know beforehand that I was. It was a surprise. I don’t know. I really don’t know how the fans reacted to it. You’re doing your job. It doesn’t matter where you go. You’re gonna continue to do it whether it’s WCW, WWE, ECW. Doesn’t really matter. As long as you’re working, you’re making a paycheck, that’s all you care about.”
