Kurt Angle’s kissing skills took a hit after his smooch with Stephanie McMahon. The WWE professional admitted the kiss was awful because Vince McMahon was behind the camera. Breaking down his uncomfortable kiss, he shared on “The Kurt Angle Show,” “I look like a duck, fish lips.” Apparently, he wasn’t the only one who thought the smooch had fish-like qualities.
As Angle recalled, Stephanie McMahon gave her co-star some harsh critiques of his kissing abilities. “Stephanie afterward said, ‘You kiss like a fish,'” he shared. The WWE star didn’t let her criticize his kiss considering the circumstances, telling her, “‘What the hell do you want me to do? Do you want me to slip you the tongue while your dad’s watching? Plus you’re married to Triple H.'” Clearly, the kiss was uncomfortable for both stars, but luckily, it didn’t impact the way Stephanie saw Angle.
In 2017, the former WWE executive (and occasional wrestler) gushed about her co-star to The National after he returned to the WWE world. She said, “I can’t wait to work with Kurt. Kurt is so entertaining. He is really funny. I think it is going to be so much and hopefully having that interaction and this time the situation is a little bit different as I am the boss.” So, despite the awful kiss, the two still have a good connection, and Angle is aware that he would be nowhere without the love triangle between him, Stephanie, and Triple H.
