According to Angle, he waited for the right opportunity, when Big Show was down on the mat and Lesnar had his back turned. At that moment, he made his move.

“I said, ‘Big Show, get out,'” Angle said, causing Wight to exit the ring. “I sneak up behind Brock and I tap him on his shoulder and I go, ‘It’s time to go.’ So we went, and we went for about 15 minutes. The wrestlers [will] tell you that I kicked his ass, that I dominated him — that’s not true. I beat him, but I didn’t beat him [by much]. I took him down twice, he didn’t take me down at all.”

Angle shared his surprise that Lesnar never attempted to train for and compete in the Olympics. As a former Gold Medal winner himself, Angle seems to think Lesnar had what it takes to make it to that legendary milestone. Later on in the podcast, Angle returned to the topic of his amateur match against Lesnar, answering a question on what he used to take Lesnar down.

“Duck-unders,” Angle stated. “‘Cause Brock would come with these double-leg [takedowns]. He’d come up, and I’d jack him up and duck under and get behind him. It would be like in a flurry. I wouldn’t just do a move. He’d do something, [and] I’d counter into it.”

Lesnar and Angle would share the ring for professional wrestling matches as well, including a WWE WrestleMania 19 bout that may be best remembered for Lesnar’s botched shooting star press.
