“I want to thank you for your time then, and I want to thank you for your time now.” Bro is so respectfully, really nice to see.

I love how excited Kurt is for CVV, and so humble about it too. He just gets it, that he is someone people really appreciate, and that interviewing him is huge for most wrestling fans. He didn't even need prompting to point out how cool it was that CVV now gets to interview him. But at the same time there's no arrogance to it at all, just pure class

I don't watch much wrestling, but Kurt Angle seems like a real stand-up dude. I've worked in a higher-end steak house in a big city for a long time. Kurt would come in every time he came to the city. He would always bring in tickets, shirts, merch, etc. for the staff and spend time talking to everyone. Super nice guy!

You can tell Kurt genuinely appreciates his fans...you could see how happy this conversation made him

Chris is such a good dude, and so is Kurt.. two genuine humans here, talking about the most interesting stuff out there, Thanks for what you do, Chris!

Damn this was so wholesome. 10/10 for the both of you :)

Kurt is one of the best ever, yet criminally underrated. Everything he did was amazing. Even the percocet.

Incredible and Chris man you’re living the dream congratulations!

Chris Van Vleet should be in the Hall of Fame for his candid interviews with wrestlers Wrestlers always just seen so calm and comfortable around him It makes you feel like the answers he gets a completely genuine as if it’s just a conversation without cameras

I’m really loving the wrestler interviews on YT. I was obsessed 98-02 and that was the golden era IMO.

Kurt looks good here. He looks clear minded and happy, and healthy. Happy to see this.

For me, he is the GOAT, I remember always looking forward to his music hitting...I was so gutted when he moved to TNA... The way he moved in the ring, for me, was just so captivating and would have me completely engaged in his matches. Thank You Kurt for your committment to wrestling, you entertained so many for many years.

Good guy, I waited in line 3 hours in a small Virginia town of 500 people and took pictures with Kurt Angle and Trish they had a match in Norfolk, VA at the scope that night. I couldn't believe he took time to come to our fo nothing town. It was one of the greatest days of my life. Thanks Kurt!

I love how good of a place Kurt is in now. I'm happy he has found peace

Kurt Angle just looks huggable! Lol! Like I want to give him the biggest hug.

Kurt Angle..still good looking years later. Look at his smile..

I live in london and i think in 2001 the Rock and Big Show were doing a signing while the Outsiders Nash and Hall were doing a signing on the same day in a different place. Me and half my friends went to the big show and rock signing and the other half went to the outsiders signing. Me being a WCW kid of the mid 90's always regrettted not going to the outsider signing..

Greatest of all time is a understatement. A gentleman's gentleman in my opinion. Bless up from Brooklyn NY

Kurt not only is my favorite wrestler ever, he's my hometown hero. Not to mention that he won Olympic Gold in Atlanta which ironically enough is the only other city me and my immediate family ever lived other than here in Pittsburgh.

Kurt is an absolute living legend!!!! What a fantastic career! We're proud of you, Kurt! February 1st is my daughter's birthday ! This is an awesome short video. 👏

I remember growing up hating him because I was into the storylines and he was always the bad guy. As I got older and got to learn more about the real Kurt, I’ve come to have a lot of respect and love for him. He indeed is one of the greats and in my opinion, made the attitude area interesting to watch because for every Stone Cold and Rock, you need a Kurt Angle.

Kurt Angle is still handsome and charismatic after all these years...one of my all time favourite wrestlers.

agree...Kurt Angle is one of my favorites and one of the best to do it. Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle and AJ Styles are my 3 favorites of all time.

I love Kurt Angle. Good Guy & one of the best pure Wrestlers i ever saw.

Kurt is one of my favorites. Super talented wrestler, and corny which makes him so funny. That rap he did with Cena is one of my favorite moments of Kurt.

I haven't watched wrestling since the early 2000s but i loved this guy he was great Entertainer/wrestler. He had some hilarious arcs

Kurt will always be a legend I don't watch wrestling anymore but I always keep up to date with all the legends interviews & podcasts etc. Me & my grandad spent many hours watching wwf/wwe back in the day! Good times! R.I.P Grandad

Chris Van Vliet after meeting Kurt on February 1st 2001: *SCREAMS "YEAH" IN PERC ANGLE*

Kurt seems humble wrestler.god bless him

Kurt Angle deserves his flowers I agree Chris Kurt is the goat Kurt Angle has been my favorite wrestler since day 1 and he been a honor to watch him wrestle.

I remember going to a breakfast place and seeing Kurt and go in his family. I wanted to meet him but I didn’t want to bother him and his family and also cause unwanted attention so I go to the bathroom before leaving and his son was waiting outside.The next day, I see that his son was saved by a lifeguard who was a former classmate of mine and it made the local news. Apparently Kurt angle can’t swim but thankfully his son was alright.

I started watching WWF right about the time Kurt started. He was my first favorite wrestler. Definitely the GOAT!

Kurt was the first person to ever walk out in an entrance in my first ever WWE event. It was the greatest entrance ever. Kurt was the funnest guy to watch growing up 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Just watched Angle...After everything that man has been through I'm not surprised to see how well he's doing...respect

I am a fan of Kurt too. When I was in highschool I love watching WWE. He's entrance theme was my ringtone.

I have a picture just like this with The Rock. It was back when we both had hair. 😁👍. I also have one next to Kurt as well. 🤩👍

Damn Kurt has that warrior eyes up until now

Is there a more underrated wrestler than Kurt? Great Wrestling skills, highflying moves from the top rope, power and speed and super underrated on the mic!

Kurt is my favorite guest on every podcast he does he has definitely introduced me too a lot of channels!!

Probably one of the most inspiring athletes ever. Dude was hard as nails, a complete gentleman and battled opiate addiction whilst working. His three I's never fail.

Also my personal GOAT. Flawless in the ring, as a character, on the mic, this man was the SHIT.

Omg, look how old he got... I used to have a crush on him and his persona when he first started.

Cool wholesome moment you can tell they both appreciated each other genuinely

He truly was one of the best, no lie. He was a sponge and picked it up so quick. He put 100% of himself into it too, and came from having nothing to do with the wrestling business, to being one of the greatest, in a very short time.

I met Kurt twice.. back in 97' at an amateur wrestling camp right after he won the Olympics and just before he became a WWE superstar and he was a really down to earth dude!! Then in 2003-04 when he was WWE champ.. class act and the wrestling goat!!! 🤼🐐

Met Angle backstage at a TNA event. Dude is super down to earth and cool.

I really like Kurt, he is definitely chsrismatic, I remember as a kid hating him and his heel character and now as an adult I have lots of respect for him, truly one of the best.

They say never meet your heroes, but when your hero is a man of intensity, intelligence, and integrity, it will be one of the greatest moments of all time.

Dude gave us everything he had, after giving his country everything had at the Olympics, was too young to see just how much these greats sacrificed themselves for us to love them. To Kurt and all those stars from the big to little, refs to commentators, sound guys to pyrotechnics, from writing to video. Thanks for everything guys and girls. You are the mvps.

Oh my goodness. Look at Chris as a young Thundercat. Much respect 🫡

Angle is a great dude. Mad respect for him as a man in general.

Kurt angle, The Rock, SC Steve Austin, Mankind and Chris Jericho i stopped watching wrestling when i was probably like hmm i dunno had to be before i was 16 but for a few years me and my sister would watch all the free shows on TV religiously and these are the guys that always stand out in my mind from back then, i've never seen a PPV but all those free shows used to completely capture me and my sister we loved it and then i think one day we just never watched it again cause we just had friends and sports and school take over.
