WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has been part of numerous iconic moments during his WWE career and that includes his memorable milk truck segment during the Attitude Era. However, Angle has now revealed that the truck didnt actually have real milk.
On August 20, 2001, Kurt Angle was heavily involved in a feud with Steve Austin and The Alliance. In the iconic segment, the Olympic gold medalist decided to cause chaos by bringing out a truck full of milk and spraying it all over Stephanie McMahon, Steve Austin and The Alliance.
While speaking on WWE Retrospective, Kurt Angle talked about the milk truck segment. The WWE Hall of Famer revealed that the milk coming from the hose wasnt real, it was just water mixed with white food coloring to make it look like milk. But the cartons he drank from and threw were filled with real milk.
After the show, Angle had to catch a late-night flight and didnt have time to change clothes. He flew wearing the same outfit soaked in milk. During the flight, the milk started to smell sour. Other passengers began complaining about the bad smell, and Angle worried theyd realize it was coming from him. He tried to hide the smell by covering his shoes and holding his shirt close.
Even with all that, Kurt said this was one of the most important moments of his career. It made him feel like a real star in WWE, going up against Stone Cold as one of the top wrestlers. He loved that his character stood out as a proud milk drinker and not just an Olympic gold medalist.
Kurt Angles milk truck moment is still one of the most loved segments in WWE history. Even though its surprising that real milk wasnt used in the hose, that doesnt take away from how fun and iconic the segment was and thats never changing.
