Kurt Angle Didn’t Know Who Colby Covington Was When He Asked Permission To Use His Entrance Theme

WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle has done it all as far as being a pro wrestler is concerned. He was one of the best in-ring competitors to have ever competed inside the ring. Kurt Angle also had no idea who Colby Covington was.

Colby Covington made a name for himself as one of the most despised heels in the UFC. He squared off against Robbie Lawler back in 2019 as well.

Before the fight, Covington came out to Kurt Angle’s WWE theme song. While speaking with The Schmo in a segment titled, The Schmo With The Pro, Kurt Angle revealed that he had no idea who Covington was when he asked Angle for permission to use his entrance theme.

“Well, he approached me and asked me if he could use it and I said, ‘I don’t know. Because I don’t know who you are,’ and I did some research on him and found out how damn good he is. I said, ‘Yes, you can definitely use my music.'”

Angle was released from his role as WWE producer back in 2020 as part of the COVID-19 budget cuts. Angle has been keeping himself in great shape and is enjoying his life after retirement since then.
