Kurt Angle Insisted That He Tap Out To Drew McIntyre This Past November On WWE RAW

Drew McIntyre shares some information about the Olympic Gold medalist.

During the Fall of 2018, WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle began to wrestle more in WWE including working a house show loop for a weekend. Kurt Angle stepped into the ring with the likes of Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, Chad Gable, Apollo Crews, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Drew McIntyre. On the November 5th edition of Monday Night RAW that was taped in Manchester, Kurt Angle was routed by McIntyre and tapped out to his own “Ankle Lock” submission maneuver. Drew McIntyre shared during his interview with ‘Snapmare Necks’ that Angle insisted that the finish happen the way that it did and added that the WWE Hall Of Famer wanted to do whatever he needed to do to make McIntyre come out strong.

“Its crazy to me that he wanted to work with me in both TNA and WWE. Roode, Lashley and me. Drew fae Scotland, the guy who used to be in 3MB. It was his idea to tap out to the Ankle Lock when I wrestled him on RAW. He was insisting, “This is what’s gonna help you, tapping me out.’ Who am I to argue? He was taking my mad moves, like the Finlay roll off the top. The big Alabama Slam. The big heavy chops. It took me to a different level. That meant the world because the Drew McIntyre name was mud at that time. That was Drew Galloway that done that and it helped me rebuild myself to the point that I could come back and make it happen as Drew McIntyre.” McIntyre continued, “The match in WWE in Manchester, we did the match in a way where I pretty much annihilated him and he was totally ok with that. He wanted to do that, because he believes in me and he was happy to make me look like a killer in that match. It means a lot to have him in my corner. He had me hitting his own moves on him and tapping him out with his own finish. It was mind blowing to me and I can’t thank him enough. He made me look like a proper badass. A real asshole heel, and I’m very appreciate of it all. He is a legend and I’ll never forget him doing that for me”
