Kurt Angle Calls Out The Undertaker for Backstage “Ribbing” Hypocrisy

Kurt Angle has plenty of wild wrestling stories, but one of his sharpest came at the expense of The Undertaker himself.

During a conversation with Inside the Ropes, Angle talked about one of the most memorable pieces of advice he got in WWE—and why he didn’t buy it for a second.

When asked about Taker’s best advice, Angle quoted the Deadman with a smirk:

“He said, ‘Kid, I don’t rib, and I don’t like to be ribbed.’”

But then Angle dropped the punchline that left fans stunned:

“But that mother**r ribs people! He’s full of sh*t! He just doesn’t like to be ribbed. And if you rib him, you’re in for it. He’s going to beat the sh*t out of you.”

Angle explained that despite The Undertaker’s intimidating presence and backstage rep, he didn’t have a hard time earning his respect. The Olympic gold medalist’s legit credentials and attitude helped smooth the path.

“With me, Undertaker respected me right away. I think it’s because of my credentials—winning the Olympic gold medal with a broken freaking neck. But I also had a good attitude coming in. I was very pleasant, I was very modest, and I took everything with a grain of salt. I was very agreeable with everybody, so I made it easy for people to like me.”

While Undertaker’s legacy is built on intimidation and respect, Angle’s blunt honesty added a little humor to the mystique.
