Kurt Angle's Hall of Fame experience at WrestleMania wasn't exactly what he had hoped for.
On the latest episode of The Wives of Wrestling Podcast, Giovanna Angle, Kim Orton, and Jon Alba were joined by Reby Hardy to discuss a variety of subjects. During the podcast, Reby told the story of how The Hardy Boyz returning at WrestleMania 33 created an amazing and memorable moment:
"It was the big debut of Matt and Jeff, the big surprise at WrestleMania," Reby Hardy began. "So that is a big, huge day for the Hardys. Otherwise known as f*** Kurt Angle day, because right — so apparently I didn’t know this until after the fact. It was a beautiful moment. They’re going down this beautiful long ramp, and all the fans are going crazy, and it’s a great moment, right? And there’s pyro, and there’s fireworks in the sky, and Matt’s going in slow motion like this. It’s amazing, right? Beautiful moment."
It wasn't until a few days later when Reby was told by Angle's wife Giovanna that The Hardys' pyro was initially meant for Kurt:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"So I don’t know if it was like right after a couple of days or what. And Giovanna said, ‘Hey, did you notice how you know at the end of Matt and Jeff’s match there at WrestleMania that the fireworks were red, white, and blue?’ And I was like, ‘No, I didn’t. I was all preoccupied,’ right? I didn’t know what the f*** was going on. And she goes, ‘Yeah, those were Kurt’s fireworks.'" (H/T: WrestleZone)
Kurt Angle didn't get his pyro at WrestleMania 33
Just before the tag match that featured The Hardys' triumphant return, WWE presented a segment featuring its 2017 Hall of Fame class. However, when Kurt Angle made his grand entrance and posed in anticipation of his red, white and blue pyro, nothing happened.
On The Wives of Wrestling podcast, Giovanna provided insight on Kurt's reaction to his lack of fireworks at the show, stating he was very "butthurt" about it because nothing happened when he raised his arms:
"It’s funny as sh*t. Okay?" Giovanna Angle chimed in. "If you see a video of Kurt, you know how he comes out, and they do the Hall of Fame? He did this (lifts arms for Kurt Angle pose), waiting for his pyro, and it didn’t happen. And Kurt comes out after I come up to him; he’s like, ‘They didn’t do my pyro.’ He was so f***ing butthurt. Because that’s his thing, fireworks!" (H/T: WrestleZone)
