Kurt Angle Credits The Rock For Elevating Him To WWE Main Event Level

Angle said, “He was really giving. Dwayne always brought me up to his level and said, ‘You’re with us.’ He was my first World Championship match — he didn’t have to say yes, but he did. I’m very grateful.” At No Mercy 2000, Angle defeated The Rock to become the WWF Champion in a memorable match that played a key role in his rise to stardom during his early WWE days.
