Kurt Angle has cemented his legacy as a wrestling legend, from headlining WWE shows and winning championships to winning a gold medal in the Olympics and having a stint in TNA. With all of his accomplishments, he is thought of as one of the top pro wrestlers of his time.
However, Angle apparently had outside career interests during his time with WWE, that he wanted to incorporate with another star of his era.
On his podcast, the Kurt Angle Show, Angle revealed that he once dreamed of joining Chris Jericho’s band Fozzy, as a drummer while in WWE, but he never asked Jericho because his desired role was taken (h/t Fightful for transcription).
“I had this dream. I knew Chris Jericho was the lead singer for his band. We were in WWE and every day I wanted to go up to him and just say, ‘Hey, can I be part of your band? We can do an album, and WWE can record it, and we could be big rock stars.’ I thought, ‘You know what? I’m a drummer. I’m really good. So I think Chris would would take me in.’ But the problem is he already had a drummer, so I never asked him. I wish I would have. There could have been two drummers in his band. You never know,” Angle said.
An ambitious goal, this is not the first time Angle has said he wants a non-wrestling role in the entertainment industry, as he has tried “many times” to appear in a Marvel Studios movie. Obviously, no luck so far, despite Seth Rollins recently filming a role in the next Captain America film.
Otherwise, what if Angle and Jericho formed a band? That would have created quite the scene and potentially produced some interesting music. However, maybe it’s better that we never found out, as both did just fine without each other on their respective paths.
