Kurt Angle Recalls Backstage Fight With Eddie Guerrero

WWE Hall Of Famer, Kurt Angle was a guest on Talk Is Jericho this week where he discussed some backstage moments from his career. Angle revealed one particular moment which led to a fight with Eddie Guerrero.

“What happened was we had a fight in the ring. We are getting heat on Eddie. It was Luther Reigns, Mark Jindrak, and myself.
