Earlier this year, after over a decade away from the company, Kurt Angle made his long-awaited WWE return when it was announced that he’d be headlining the 2017 Hall of Fame ceremony.

Since then, as well as being inducted during that ceremony, he’s gone on to be named the General Manager of Raw, with speculation mounting that he’ll soon be making a full-time return to the ring at some stage.

But to continue the underlying trend of this piece, it seems none of this would have been possible without one of those trusty phone calls courtesy of Triple H.

On more than one occasion, Angle has recounted the story of how Triple H was the one to call him back in January of this year and break the news that the company wanted to invite him into its Hall of Fame.

Granted, you could argue that if it hadn’t been Triple H who made the call, someone else would’ve done it for him. But given the pair’s history together—not to mention the whole point of this article—that wouldn’t have been quite as glamorous, would it?
