VIDEO: Kurt Angle's Huge Birthday Celebration Continues After SmackDown Ends

He’s worth it. There are all kinds of wrestlers over the years but only a handful reach truly legendary status. Those are the wrestlers who are going to get more attention than others, even if they have stepped away from the ring. On occasion those stars will come back to television for a special appearance, which was the case this week for a special moment in front of a special audience.

This week’s SmackDown featured a special birthday celebration for Kurt Angle, who appeared on the show in front of his hometown crowd. The show ended with Angle and Gable Steveson spraying down the Alpha Academy with milk. WWE has posted another clip from after the show, featuring several wrestlers coming to the ring to celebrate. Angle thanked the fans for coming out and Rey Mysterio led the wrestlers in singing Happy Birthday.

It was a cool moment. Check out what happened to Angle during and after the show:

Opinion: Angle is the kind of legend who can still make a special appearance and be a draw like this. It was his birthday in his hometown so it makes all the sense in the world for him to be out there for a cool moment. Let him go out there and give the fans a fun night and then something better after the show ends. Angle has earned that kind of treatment and it is cool to see him getting to do this again.
