As someone who trained for an Olympic Games with a “broken freakin’ neck,” Kurt Angle knows a thing or two about dedication and sacrifice. Yet, he considers Vince McMahon to be the hardest-working person he’s ever met.

“That guy is unbelievable,” Angle said of McMahon. “He is the hardest-working and most dedicated person I’ve ever been around — he really is. He sticks to his diet, he works all day, he makes sure he gets his workout in — everything is like a line for him. Everything has to go a certain way for Vince, he has to have everything lined up just perfectly. He’s an animal.” Angle then joked about McMahon being only two years younger than Joe Biden and still being “very mentally sharp” and coherent, unlike the current President of the United States. “He’s still sharp as a rock,” Angle added.

Speaking further on the years he spent with McMahon on the road, Angle provided some insight into how his former boss operated on a day-to-day basis. “When he’s on the road, TV gets over by midnight, and then he’ll go to the gym at one o’clock and train till three,” Angle said of McMahon. “He’ll sleep from four to six, then he’ll wake up and repeat the cycle. He only sleeps two hours a day. He’s a workaholic.” 

As for his personal relationship with the WWE founder, Angle noted that McMahon always “treated me right” and they rarely had any arguments or disagreements. Angle is happy that McMahon “got the money he got” by merging WWE and UFC to form TKO Group Holdings, for which he currently serves as the Executive Chairman.
