Kurt Angle Talks About Almost Ending Taker's Streak

[Dale]

"It was considered back in 2006. The person who wanted to do it was Undertaker himself. I was flattered, for him to go to Vince McMahon and pitch it. Undertaker at that point never had a five-star Wrestlemania moment match. He figured that the only one he could do it was me, at the time. Thank God a couple of years later he had Shawn Michaels, and it worked. But Undertaker really wanted to have that match, he asked Vince to push our match back from No Way Out to WrestleMania and, since I was champion they wanted me to keep the title, Undertaker was willing to take the loss. To me that meant a lot because Undertaker had a lot of respect for me — and I had more respect for him than he did for me."

Not sure whether this is true or not given how unpredictable Kurt usually is in interviews.

I always found it odd that they did Angle vs. Taker at No Way Out, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was supposed to happen at Wrestlemania and then plans were changed. As for him ending the streak? I don't think they would have done it, even back then, it was still a relatively big thing and as good as Angle is - It would have been strange if he was the one to do it. Especially considering he left for TNA 6 months later.

There's definately some logic in what Kurt's saying, but its become hard to believe him lately.
