5 WWE dream matches rejected by legends

#3 – Bret Hart rejects dream match with WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle

Just like the WWE Universe, the superstars themselves have dream matches in their minds. AJ Styles revealed he wanted to face Shawn Michaels, and as for Kurt Angle, he tried to go one-on-one with Bret Hart.

The plan was to have a match in early 2000s for Kurt Angle but Bret Hart rejected the idea. In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Kurt Angle said:

"Me being at 51 now and looking back, a young Bret Hart came to me right now and said let's do our dream match ...I would be like.. it's not going to be the dream match I like to be. I probably don't want to get in that ring."

"So, I understood why Bret didn't want to do it. Because he had the stroke and he had a lot of bad luck, you know, some things happened that made it medically difficult for him to come back and be at his very best."

"I told him, you know, listen, you didn't even have to bump at all. I'll do all the bumping and he was like, 'Nah, it won't be the Bret Hart match that I want to be and I can't do that."

Kurt Angle has now retired from WWE in-ring action, just like Bret Hart.
