Kurt Angle says he almost drowned recently.
During an episode of the Kurt Angle Show, the 54-year-old detailed a story of flipping over on his jet ski while on vacation and his 11-year-old daughter Giuliana having to come to his rescue.
Angle said:
We went to Miami, Florida. The temperature was 80 degrees. We spent so much time on the beach. They had a wonderful pool at the hotel. It was a blast.
I actually took my kids jet skiing. My first kid that I put on the back for me to ride them - because they are too young to drive themselves - I put her on the back and we went out and when I went to make a turn - I slowed down and stopped, I wanted to make a turn - and I didn't put the accelerator on when I was turning and we flipped over. We went into the ocean.
Thank God my daughter is like an Olympic-calibre swimmer. I even had the safety vest on but it wasn't working, I was still sinking. I can't swim so I'm in trouble. I couldn't get above water, I was going under. My daughter kept her composure. The jet ski got away from us, it was like 50 feet away from us. She didn't know whether to go to the jet ski or to me but she came over to me and saved my life. She pulled me over to the jet ski, she swam 50 yards with me in her hands.
I couldn't get myself on the jet ski, my arms are so weak now because of my neck I can't push myself up. So now, she's putting her hands under my ass and pushing me up onto the jet ski and she got me up there. Then she jumped up behind me and I said, 'You know what, honey? You just saved my life.'
Angle also spent some time on the podcast talking about his reasons for taking part in WWE shows from Saudi Arabia in 2018.
Angle said:
The main reason is money, money, money. When you go to these places, they spend a lot of money.
The fans didn't have to pay for it, the government paid for them. Everything was paid for, for the wrestlers, the WWE and all the fans. The country, the government paid for everything so the fans could enjoy themselves.
The pay cheques are very generous.
