After dating for nearly five years, WWE Hall of Famers Booker T and Sharmell tied the knot in February 2005. That same year, the couple worked together on a storyline with Hall of Famer Kurt Angle. The angle saw the Olympic Gold Medalist stalk Booker T's wife and express his desire to get intimate with her.
During an episode of The Kurt Angle Show in 2021, the 4-time WWE Champion addressed the storyline, disclosing that it was Vince McMahon's idea.
"I have no idea where the idea came from. Vince (McMahon) is kind of a ribber. He'll do stuff to mess with you a little bit and shove it in your face. I think that he thought I had this fetish for black women. I like all women, white, black, hispanic, it doesn't matter. My wife is half Hispanic and half Italian," he said.
Angle also revealed that he was uncomfortable doing the storyline, claiming it was "the worst storyline I've ever done."

"I think Vince thought I had this fetish for black women and he thought it would be a funny program. I was not comfortable by any means. I had so much respect for Booker T and Sharmell. To do that and pretend I was stalking his wife, it was the worst angle I have ever done. It was the worst storyline I've ever done. I did it anyway because I've always been a team player, but I was not comfortable doing it," He added. [H/T: TheSportsRush]

"I'm not going to lie to you. There were times I had to get intimate with Stephanie. It was a little bit crazy. I enjoyed it, you know, it got a little uncomfortable at times, but for the most part, I really liked it. It was a lot of fun," he said on The Kurt Angle Show.
