Kurt Angle on breaking Holly's arm: Bob wanted to keep going

In his show, Kurt Angle recalled breaking Holly's arm with a moonsault. Holly had an interesting reaction and showed his courage. “We were trying to both communicate, so we were both speaking and I was trying to – I thought he should leave the match because he was injured.

And he wanted to leave the match because he had a broken arm and he was limited. So, I should have just listened to him but instead, we were both talking. Yeah, Bob wanted to keep going. He’s crazy. Me, if I broke my arm like that, I’d be like, ‘I’m done.’”- he said, as quoted by pwmania.com

After that, Kurt Angle was convinced that Bob had broken two bones.

Bob didn't think it was that serious, but it really was. “He’s like, ‘Come here, look at this.’ I look and it was Bob Holly’s arm, and both bones were broken, completely broken all the way. So I come into the hospital room, and Bob was going, ‘Hey, I don’t think it’s that bad.’ I said, ‘Bob, it’s broken.

I’m sorry, man, but you have a compound fracture. This thing, it’s barely hanging on your arm. This was a careless spot that I didn’t practice – I never practiced doing a moonsault. I never figured where the person should be laying when I land on because I never landed on them before”.

Kurt Angle recalled the match against Brock Lesnar in which he was defeated. Angle talked about WWE's plans. "I was supposed to have a nice long title reign for over a year. They were gonna keep that title on me and put the titles on Team Angle — the tag team titles — and have us doing what Roman Reigns and The Usos are doing right now. That’s what was planned”.
