#3 Kurt Angle on his backstage heat with WWE Superstar Randy Orton

Former WWE Champion Kurt Angle spoke on his podcast about a Twitter incident that led to heat between he and Randy Orton. Angle revealed that he had jokingly accused Orton of stealing his finisher in a tweet. However, The Viper did not take kindly to Angle's remarks and became quite furious with the Hall of Famer.

''I got heat from Randy (Orton) for tweeting out one time that he stole my finish and I told him I was just kidding. He was pretty p***** off, but I was just kidding! You know, anybody that wants to come up with a move or wants to do somebody’s move, as long as you’re not in that company you might as well use it.''

On the subject of finishers, Angle said that he has no problem if a younger superstar decides to use his moves. It only helps to expand his own legacy. Citing Apollo Crews using the Angle Slam in WWE, he said that he has no objections to the IC Champion using his move as he is retired.
