“You couldn’t ask for a better storyline”- Former WWE Tag Team Champion opens up about working with Kurt Angle

Former WWE Superstar Charlie Haas recently joined Kurt Angle on his podcast to talk about his time alongside Shelton Benjamin as a member of Team Angle.

Charlie Haas made his debut on WWE’s main roster along with Shelton Benjamin as Team Angle. The tag team was the “contingency plan” of Paul Heyman, intended to help WWE Champion Kurt Angle retain his title. The duo managed to win WWE Tag Team Championship shortly after defeating Los Guerreros (Eddie and Chavo Guerrero).

Speaking on the latest episode of The Kurt Angle Show, the former OVW star stated that getting called up to the main roster to work with Kurt Angle was a dream come true for him:

“I’ve never been so happy in my life. We won it and beat the Guerreros. Kurt Angle had the World Title and we had all the titles. You couldn’t ask for a better storyline and I’m just glad because we didn’t sink… Shelton and I are still best friends, he was the best man at my wedding, godfather to [my daughter] and he’s my brother man,” Haas said.
