Kurt Angle in “Unfinished Business”

Kurt Angle

This is a dark time in the life of your Olympic hero. You see, at Judgment Day, not only did I lose to an inferior man to me, Booker T, but I was also embarrassed by his gutter-(bleep) wife, Sharmell. And I am ashamed of that. It was a joke. But it's not the only joke going on around here. Apparently Vince McMahon was sitting in his office one day, and he asked himself, how can I flush a bunch of money down the toilet and disgrace everything that wrestling stands for? I know. Bring back ECW. Now that's a freakin' brilliant idea. [crowd chants "ECW"] ECW can kiss my (bleep). See people, I know wrestling! I eat, sleep and breathe wrestling, and ECW is not real wrestling. ECW is garbage! Oh I know, I know firsthand. I was at an ECW event after I won an Olympic gold medal back in 1996, and it was so horrible and disgusting, that I left halfway through the event and vowed that I would never return again. But it looks like I'm gonna return one last time. That's right, I'm gonna buy a bunch of tickets just like Bischoff on Raw, and I'm gonna lead a group of SmackDown! volunteers to ruin ECW, just like it ruined the sport I love! And Tazz, I'm gonna bounce around your ECW buddies just like Paul Heyman bounces checks. [Tazz removes his headset and angrily stares at Angle]
