Talking about the same in the latest edition of The Kurt Angle Show, Angle said, “Yeah I was. But when did I have time to do it? I was feuding with Eddie and I was feuding with Cena. But you know they were using me to get John over. That’s the whole reason, I was the GM fixing around. He was overcoming all the odds. Everything I threw at him, he was winning. He kept defeating everything I dissed to him.”
Angle then elaborated on the same point stating, “So every athlete and opponent that I dissed to him, he kept winning. So it was working for John but I was working with Eddie at the same time. I cannot work with both of them. Or At least wrestle both of them at the same time.”
