Kurt Angle (@RealKurtAngle) is a retired professional wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer. He sits down with Chris Van Vliet in Pittsburgh, PA to discuss his legendary WWE and TNA careers after winning a gold medal at the 1996 Olympics, the merchandise he wishes could have been made, the origin of his "It's True" catchphrase, why he wishes he could have ended his in-ring career 10 years sooner, his legendary matches with Chris Benoit, being the odds-on favorite to induct John Cena into the WWE Hall of Fame, the 'Perc Angle' nickname and his battle with addiction, getting into a backstage fight with Eddie Guerrero and more!
