Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon reportedly once told a WWE Superstar to ‘intimidate’ Hulk Hogan during their feud.
Speaking on The Kurt Angle Show podcast, the Olympic gold medallist revealed that McMahon told him to get in Hogan’s face.
Angle and Hogan were in a feud before the 2002 King Of The Ring PPV, and the Chairman of the Board wanted to spice up the build.

‘Vince told me beforehand, ’˜I want you to get out of your seat and put your nose this close to Hulk Hogan’s nose.’ I am like, ’˜Why do you want me to do this? It’s Hulk Hogan’” Angle revealed.
“What he’s trying to do is intimidate Hulk, and you can’t intimidate Hulk Hogan, he’s a freaking bad*ss” the WWE Hall of Famer added.
“But the crazy thing is, Vince wanted me to get out of my seat and get real close to his face like I was threatening him ’“ it was ridiculous” Angle concluded.
