Angle said that he somehow finished the match against Christian in a dazed state. He also recalled having discussion with the Rated R Superstar backstage after his second match backstage with Edge.
Edge was concerned about his match with Angle .John Laurinaitis, who was the road agent for the match, had advised Edge to execute the pinfall if they encountered any roadblocks due to Kurt Angle’s medical issues.
“Yeah, I got a concussion halfway through the first match with Christian, and I got lost in the match in a couple of spots and Christian had to carry me through to the end, and we were able to be successful with finishing the match. The problem was I had a match coming up like a half-hour later, and I started going over my match with Edge, and he was telling me the spots he wanted to do, and he’d say, ‘Are you good with that?’ And I’d say, ‘Yeah, okay, I’m good with that.’ And I would say again, ‘Wait a minute, I’m not good with that, you need to repeat it.’ And he would repeat it, and I would say, ‘Okay, I have that.’ And then a second later, I’d say, ‘I don’t have it, can you repeat it again.’
He looked at the agent Johnny Laurinaitis and goes, ‘What do I if he forgets out there?’ Johnny Laurinaitis said, ‘Just pin his a**.’ (Laughs).”
Angle is currently retired and has denied making an in-ring return anytime soon.
