The call to go ahead with Kurt Angle as the replacement for Roman Reigns in the main event of Sunday, Oct. 22’s TLC pay-per-view (PPV) was reportedly made at the last minute, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by the material put out by WWE’s production team.
Switching on the fly from the story being about the return of The Shield to the return of the Hall of Famer, the company cranked out great packages all weekend long. Now on Monday, we’re getting their latest behind-the-scenes video. It’s another stellar piece of business, featuring Kurt talking about what’s different this time as compared to his last WWE matches (as expected, his career between 2006 and this year are glossed over) and the internal struggle pitting his desire to work safer so he can be sure he’ll be around to see his kids grow up against his drive to be the best at everything he does.
Whether you loved or hated his match, or the fact he wrestled at all, this is worth a watch.
So what are you waiting for?
