Kurt Angle Names His Favorite Heel Moments Of His Career, Why He Prefers To Be Heel

Kurt Angle recently looked back at some of his favorite moments as a heel and why he prefers to pay the heel to a babyface. Angle played a lot of variety of heels during his time in the ring, most notably adding a comedic bent to his character. He noted in an interview with Dos and D that he enjoyed being able to “make an ass” out of himself as a heel, something you can’t do as easily as a babyface.

Angle specifically named his promo against Rey Mysterio as one of his highlights. You can see the highlights below:

On His Favorite Heel Moments Of His Career:

“You know what, what I loved about being a heel is that I could make an ass out of myself, and be funny. Fans — even though they hated my guts, they loved the entertainment I gave to them, and they they would laugh at me. When the fans would chant, you suck and I reacted to them, ‘Stop saying that!’ They’d say it louder.

“I just remember like doing promos like, ‘Rey Mysterio, you’re a boy in a man’s world and I’m a man who loves to play with boys. No, no, that’s not what I mean!’ It was just having those kind of entertaining promos. And even the milk truck, when I brought the milk truck out and sprayed down Stone Cold Steve Austin. Those memories were just uh they’re endless. And those are the things that defined my career. You know, you wouldn’t you wouldn’t think that driving a milk truck into an arena would define someone’s career, but I mean it did. And you know, people never forget that. They also, I’ll do Cameo voice message, video messages. And they’ll be like, ‘Hey can you do the Rey Mysterio promo?’

On the Appeal Of Being a Heel:

“But I really enjoy being a heel, because I could make an ass out of myself. That gives you the ability to — you know, when you’re a baby face, you’re supposed to be cool. When you’re a heel, you could be like a complete idiot. It’s just uh it’s big, big difference.”
