The induction of Rey Mysterio into the WWE Hall of Fame on March 31, 2023 was a deeply emotional moment for everyone involved, including fellow wrestler Kurt Angle. During his induction speech, Rey took the time to thank many of the people who had supported him throughout his career, including Angle.
But it was the story of his wife Angie’s sacrifice that really struck a chord with Angle. Rey shared that his wife had given up her own education to work full-time in order to support him as he pursued his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. This selfless act clearly touched Angle, who was moved to tears by the gesture.
Reflecting on the emotional moment on his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, the former Olympian expressed just how much Rey’s words had impacted him. “It was really emotional,” Angle said. “His wife was right in front of me. It was a very emotional night.”
Rey’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame was a well-deserved honor for the masked legend, and his acknowledgement of the sacrifices made by his wife only served to make the occasion all the more poignant. For Angle and many others in attendance, it was a reminder of the hard work and dedication that goes into achieving greatness in the world of professional wrestling.
“It was really emotional, especially when Rey said that his wife [Angie] gave up going to school and started working full-time to provide for him, so he could be a pro wrestler. I got tears in my eyes when he said that. His wife was right in front of me. It was a very emotional night.”
