During the latest edition of The Kurt Angle Show, Kurt Angle spoke about the backstage reaction when it was announced that the nWo were coming to the WWF.

“Well, there were mixed feelings, I think because of some things that occurred in the past. I don’t really know about them. I’ve heard some stories. But you know, the NWO, those guys could be really political, and it could bury some people’s careers. I never saw to be honest with you, but that was the rumor and the thought going around the locker room.”

On his views:

“Some guys were concerned. But for me, I wasn’t concerned because I was totally confident in my ability to wrestle. I knew I was one of the best wrestlers at this particular time, and I could entertain the fans. I was really good at doing what I did, and I wasn’t that concerned about Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash and Scott Hall coming in.”
