On a recent episode of the “Barstool Rasslin’” podcast, Matt Riddle shed light on his past friction with WWE Hall of Fame member Bill Goldberg.
Riddle conceded that he was indulging in some verbal sparring and Goldberg perhaps overreacted to his remarks.
Riddle said, “I’m just like, ‘Dude, I’m just talking st, you know?’ It’s the same thing in fighting, though. People talk st in fighting, and half the time they’re just spitting st to boost ticket sales, and that’s the aim. And yes, I’m not denying that some of it is intended or we’re just messing around. And part of it is, the more realness you can bring to it.”
WWWE Hall of Fame inductee Kurt Angle has recently announced that a biopic in two parts about his life story is being developed.
While on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast recently, Angle disclosed that he turned down an offer for a TV series based on his life.
He stated that a director, who had approached him earlier, wanted to make a TV series which would include elements of his and his family’s life that he preferred to keep personal.
He said, “When my documentary came out, Hollywood came calling. I was contacted by several producers wanting to turn my life into a movie. A certain director proposed a TV show, adding, ‘I see this as the next Yellowstone.’ So I inquired about the contents of the show and he said ‘Everything.’ I explained that there are aspects of my family life that we don’t want to be revisited or brought to the surface again, as it involves a lot of sensitive matters. I was reluctant to air on TV.”
He continued, “I asked, ‘Are you going to include all these?’ The reply was ‘I want everything or nothing at all.’ I then suggested we just make a movie instead, but he was adamant on creating only a TV show or nothing. I had to say that, ‘I respect your work immensely, but I can’t agree to a TV show. I will seek someone else who’ll be up for a movie.’”
