Kurt Angle has revealed what he texted to Vince McMahon after it was announced that McMahon has retired.
As noted, there have been a lot of changes within WWE as of late. Vince McMahon stepped down as WWE CEO after some sexual misconduct allegations came to light.
He then decided to retire, handing the reigns of WWE creative over to son-in-law Triple H.
Now, various professional wrestling stars have offered up their reactions to the news. Recently, WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle was interviewed by Bleacher Report and offered his take on the situation.
Angle revealed that he actually texted McMahon after the news of his retirement broke, and divulged some details on the conversation.
“I text him five days ago when he decided to retire. I said, ‘Love you, Vince.’ I didn’t want to go into detail, what happened, this and that. He said, ‘I love you too.’ That’s all we said to each other.
“Vince has always been kind of a father figure to me. We did have a falling out in 2006, but we mended that in 2017 and I love the guy to death. He’s such a great individual.
“We all make mistakes as human beings and Vince is no different, but he’s an excellent individual.“
Kurt Angle and McMahon worked closely together when the former Olympic Gold Medalist wrestler was brought into WWE in the late 90s.
He would go on to become one of the company’s biggest stars of his generation.
Although he doesn’t wrestle anymore, having retired and been inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, Angle still regularly gives his take on the current goings on within the business on his podcast, “The Kurt Angle Show.”
