Rikishi rubbed his dirty arse in the face of Kurt Angle, in what wrestlers apparently consider a hilarious prank.
The two WWE Hall of Famers clashed in a match early on in the Olympic Gold Medallist’s career. Being early in his wrestling journey, Angle was young and naive and an easy target for the pranksters in the WWE.
Appearing on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Kurt Angle discussed the most disgusting prank Rikishi did to him. He explained how Rikishi went for a poo and didn’t wipe his bum before wrestling Kurt Angle. When he gave him the Stinkface, he wiped his dirty butt all over the wrestling legend’s face. Kurt Angle seems happy to laugh at it, despite how horrendous that must have been.
“I came into the business with humility—I was humble, I got along with everybody, and I was a team player. But man, Rikishi got me good during one match. He had to go to the bathroom before the match, and, well… he didn’t wipe his butt.” Kurt Angle said.
“When he gave me the Stink Face, wow, it stunk so bad! Talk about brown-nosing! Afterward, I went backstage, and he was just laughing. I couldn’t even be mad. Boys can be cruel sometimes!”
“I wasn’t like that, though—I didn’t play pranks on anyone. I guess that made me an easy target if someone wanted to rib me, but honestly, not many did. The Undertaker, for instance, would mess with me on long plane rides overseas. He’d throw pillows at me while I was sleeping, trying to keep me awake. But other than that, no one really ribbed me much,” Angle added.
