The latest episode of ‘The Kurt Angle Show’ was about ‘No Way Out 2001’. If you don’t remember, the winner of the WWE Championship gold medal went to The Rock in the main event of the PPV.
Kurt Angle and The Rock put together an excellent game to close out the show, but the end of the game almost threatened to mark the overall quality of the tournament.
The original finish for Kurt Angle was to get pens after the second Rock Bottom. Angle did his job without kicking out, but referee Earl Hebner thought this was the first Rock Bottom of the game and broke the count.
The weird thing about it all is that Kurt Angle had no effort in getting his legs or shoulders up. The retrospectives showed that Angle had not fought out since the fall, and Hebner had randomly broken his account. As the narrators did their job to kick out Angle’s story, something was clear.
The Rock would go on to apply another Rock Bottom to win the game and the WWE title. Angle talked about the botched ending in the latest episode of his podcast on AdFreeShows.
Kurt Angle explained that he had made a bump for Rock Bottom earlier in the game that Earl Hebner unfortunately forgot. Hebner felt that the second Rock Bottom was the first, and it was obvious that he had ended the count.
“Well, you know, I remember very well that Earl thought that was the first Rock Bottom. I believe we had Rock Bottom earlier in the game, and Earl forgot. So it was right. at the end to be the second Rock Bottom, and Earl thinks the second is the first. So that’s why he cast doubt on the account. “
We all make mistakes: Kurt Angle on The Rock ‘s response to the botch
Angle noted that The Rock was livid over the wrong step, and the big man even screamed at Earl Hebner to make the count after he delivered the third Rock Bottom of the game.
The Rock finally settled down after the game, and Hebner was saved back on stage.
“Dwayne, The Rock pissed. He picked me up, Rock Bottomed picked me up, and told Earl, looked him in the eye, and said, ‘Count end m ********* ing (laughs) He’s pissed! Earl is going to get it when we get back to Gorilla.But Dwayne, he was crazy at the time, and when he got back on stage , it cooled down. It didn’t turn or anything. they all make mistakes. “
While mistakes happen in wrestling, Kurt Angle praised The Rock for showing a mental presence to take the initiative after the vote. Rock didn’t waste time delivering another Rock Bottom to end the game, and that, according to Angle, was an example of Rock’s experience as an actor.
“Things like this happen. You have to move on and keep up with the game, and that’s what Rock did; he gave me the drive to Rock Bottom again and, you know, get the So, you know, that’s an experienced keeper. “
