Recently JBL went to Twitter to post a really funny story about Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero getting into a backstage fight. He even mentions how Eddie tried to leg dive Angle, even though he was an Olympic Gold Medalist. Check out the story, and watch the full video below.
JBL on how he always sit near Eddie Guerrero in the locker room:
“I was sitting like this in a dressing room one time all by myself. And back in the day, WWE usually had communal locker rooms, so you’d really dress near guys you wanted to talk to because a lot of guys were friends, that’s where the cliques developed, from that. And I’d always sit near Eddie Guerrero, enjoyed talking with Eddie, BSing with Eddie.”
JBL on how Kurt Angle & Eddie Guerrero got into a physical fight backstage:
“And I’m in the dressing room on this day and Eddie is in the ring with Kurt Angle and I’m in the dressing room completely by myself. Well, apparently something happened in that match. And as they come back, Eddie and Kurt get into a physical fight. Eddie leg dives an Olympic Gold Medalist. Now, Kurt Angle was not good in high school, he was not really good in college, he was the best in the world. Out of 8.5 billion people, he was the Gold Medalist. You might have a chance punching Kurt, hit him with something, don’t leg dive an Olympic Gold Medalist. So, as they come back down the hall, I can hear this whole fight going on and I’m the only one in the dressing room and as they get back to the dressing room door, Eddie’s on this side of the door, Kurt’s on the other side of the door, John Laurinaites, head of talent relations, shuts the door and leaves Eddie on this side of the door with only me in this big dressing room.”
JBL on asking Eddie Guerrero why he would leg dive Kurt Angle:
“Eddie comes back, doesn’t even look at me, sits right beside me and he’s staring at the door and he’s breathing so loud you can hear him breath. And I looked at him and he’s still looking at the door, I looked at him and he’s looking at the door, and I said, ‘Eddie, why would you leg dive a Gold Medalist?’ And he says, ‘Because I’m stupid!’ That’s my pal, Eddie. Love Eddie.”
