The world of WWE is filled with chaotic plots and unexpected events, and a love triangle with Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, and Kurt Angle is something many would never anticipate, but it happened anyway.
Surprisingly, the story was orchestrated by former WWE chairman Vince McMahon, who made his daughter and Angle kiss on screen. According to the latter, it was not the most uncomfortable smooch ever.
WWE’s Kurt Angle Was Not Thrilled To Share A Steamy Kiss With Stephanie McMahon
Speaking on his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, wrestler Kurt Angle talked about how uneasy it felt for him to kiss Stephanie McMahon. He was in a love triangle situation with her and her now-husband Triple H.
“It was weird. It was very uncomfortable. Vince, not only was he directing, he was literally two feet away from us.”
Stephanie’s father, Vince McMahon, directed the scene, so it was even more strange for Angle to perform the task without feeling conscious and tense.
“So I kissed Stephanie, and I do it like this because I’m nervous as hell. I look like a duck, fish lips. Stephanie afterward said, ‘You kiss like a fish.’ ”
His anxiety got the best of him, and the supposed romantic kiss turned into an awful one. The smooch did not look good, and both of them were not happy about it. Finally, Angle defended himself:
“What the hell do you want me to do? Do you want me to slip you the tongue while your dad’s watching? Plus you’re married to Triple H.”
It’s truly a very awkward situation when the father of your kissing partner is right there watching the scene unfold. Thankfully, it did not change Stephanie’s opinion of Angle.
Kurt Angle And Stephanie McMahon Remained Solid Friends
Despite the failed kiss that took place years ago, McMahon still wished to collaborate with Angle in future projects. She told The National News:
“I can’t wait to work with Kurt. Kurt is so entertaining. He is really funny. I think it is going to be so much and hopefully having that interaction, and this time the situation is a little bit different as I am the boss.”
They remained good friends and maintained their connection. Now that the love triangle storyline is over, they can finally upgrade to something more compelling than a romance plot. Still, Angle was very thankful for the opportunity to work with McMahon and Triple H. He said via Pro Wrestling Stories:
“I loved doing my stuff with Triple H and Stephanie, too, which was the beginning of my career, and it really set the tone for Kurt Angle and the direction he was going.”
The scripted love story certainly put him on the map along with other famed wrestlers, which gave Angle the opportunity to show the world his talent inside the ring.
He is one of the most prolific athletes, and he became a four-time world champion. Not only that, he was also a Triple Crown winner and a Grand Slam victor.
