Kurt Angle: Kurt Angle

Quotes 

• Commissioner Mick Foley : Rock, I know exactly how you feel, because after all, once upon a time, I used to be a WWF champion myself. I know what it feels like to be so consumed with hatred that nothing else even matters. But I'm here to tell you at SummerSlam, only six days away, that when that type of anger takes place, challenges can be issued, tempers can be lost, and titles can be lost. So although I like to consider myself a pretty popular guy, right here in Lafayette, Louisiana...

  [the crowd cheers] 

  Commissioner Mick Foley : ...I'm afraid I'm going to have to make a... an unpopular move. I'm going to give you the night off.

  [as the crowd jeers, Kurt Angle's music hits, and he comes out to the top of the entrance ramp with Shane] 

  Kurt Angle : Rock, I know you're upset, but see it from my perspective. Last week, when Mick, Commissioner Mick Foley, was trying to split me and the McMahon-Helmsley family apart, what he was really doing was testing my integrity. Mick, you were trying to get me to turn my back on my friends and abandon them, and it almost worked. Almost. But I did come back for Rock and Triple H's match, and Rock, as you may recall, I bashed you over the head with a steel chair, allowing Triple H to get the win. And by doing that, by bashing you over the head with a steel chair, I proved I am a man of integrity. It's true. Oh, yeah, it's true. I picked loyalty over selfishness. And, Rock, even though you lost the match, I gained a friend, and I'd like to bring him out here right now.
