Kurt Angle, a legendary figure in WWE, has expressed regret over never having faced Bret Hart in the ring. Angle joined WWE (then known as the World Wrestling Federation, or WWF) in late 1999 and quickly rose to prominence, winning his first world title within a year of his debut. Over the next six years, he became a six-time world champion, competing against some of the most recognizable names in wrestling history, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Randy Orton. Despite his many memorable matches, Angle said his favorite bouts were against The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. However, he never had the chance to wrestle Bret Hart, who left WWE in 1997 after the infamous "Montreal Screwjob" incident, a controversial finish to a championship match that led to Hart’s departure from the company. Angle explained that he missed Hart by just a year—he signed with WWE in 1998, while Hart had already left. He also noted that WWE had offered him a contract in 1996, which he declined. Angle suggested that accepting the offer earlier might have allowed him to wrestle Hart. He praised Hart’s technical skill, saying it had influenced his own wrestling style, which is known for its athleticism and precision. Looking to the present, Angle expressed interest in wrestling current stars like Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay, both of whom are known for their high-flying, acrobatic style. He said he believes his wrestling style complements theirs well. Angle also highlighted his match against The Undertaker at No Way Out 2006 as one of the best of his WWE career. The two had first wrestled in 2000 at Fully Loaded, and they had planned to face each other at WrestleMania 22, but WWE chairman Vince McMahon moved the match to No Way Out, a less prominent event. Angle and The Undertaker had hoped to headline WrestleMania together, but the match was ultimately moved. Angle reflected on The Undertaker’s long undefeated streak, which ended in 2014 when Brock Lesnar defeated him. While Angle did not personally want to end the streak, he acknowledged that having an up-and-coming wrestler like Cody Rhodes or CM Punk do so might have helped their careers. However, he believed that Lesnar’s return to WWE after his UFC career was a safe and well-received decision, as it was a high-profile moment that satisfied fans and closed a significant chapter in wrestling history.
