Kurt Angle opened up on his memories with The Undertaker
The Undertaker will be inducted into the Hall of Fame Class of 2022 on April 1. Vince McMahon will be inducting ‘The Phenom’ into the prestigious group.
Kurt Angle, who is a WWE Hall of Famer in his own right, hailed The Undertaker for positively influencing him during the nascent stages of his professional wrestling career.
Angle, recently told The Zaslow Show, “Taker taught me a lot,” and elaborated, “I worked with him quite a bit when I started and he taught me the ropes. He was really good. His psychology is very basic, but it absolutely works well. And following him and letting him lead me really helped me out in my career.”
The Undertaker is one of the most respected characters and human beings in the professional wrestling fraternity. He is one of the greatest to have entered the squared circle. Not only his phenomenal streak at WrestleMania but his positive influence on the present and future generation of superstars will be hailed forever. The Undertaker’s aura is unmatched and his name should be enshrined into the coveted WWE Hall of Fame.
