Kenny Omega Works The Ass & CM Punk's Speedo Weirdos: 10 Things You May Have Missed In Wrestling In August 2021

7. The Anatomy Of Milk-O-Mania

Kurt Angle's The Angle Show podcast continues to be a great listen, with a recent episode covering the August 20, 2001 episode of Raw being a highlight. 

Taking place right in the thick of the WCW and ECW invasion of WWE, the episode of best-remembered for the show-closing segment where the Olympic Hero drove a milk truck to the ring and doused The Alliance with tonnes of the white stuff. 

Angle talked through the planning of the segment and what it meant to his career, as well as the uncomfortable post-show flight. 

"I didn't know [we were doing it] until the day of. They approached me and told me we had to do a run-through just to bring the guys out there and make sure everybody fit around the ring. Get Stone Cold in the ring with Paul Heyman and Debra and Stephanie, and I had to do the run-through with the milk truck to make sure the truck actually fit underneath the Titantron to get into the arena and make sure it would go all the way to the ring. So it was a quick run-through. But I was so excited to do this because this was my moment to shine as the top star in the company. This was such a great moment for me.

Actually, when I got done, I had to catch a red-eye and I had to get to the airport. I had two hours to catch my flight and the airport was an hour and 20 minutes away. I got there, so I couldn’t change after I did this deal with the milk truck. My shoes and clothes were drenched with milk. I went straight there to catch a red-eye flight – a six-hour flight – home that night, and when I got onto the plane, two hours into the flight my shoes started stinking real bad. Everybody on the plane was like, 'Where's that smell coming from?'. The guy next to me kept giving me dirty looks because he knew it was me. I took my shoes off and let them sit there and try to dry out. It was the most horrible trip I ever took".

Intensity, Integrity and Intolerable aromas.
