During Angle's entrance, it is common for fans to chant "You Suck!" to the tune of his entrance
music. The chants originated during Angle's feud with The Rock in February 2001, but gained
popularity during his feud with Edge in 2002. The chants have become a trademark of Angle's
persona, regardless if he is a face or heel. Angle has expressed interest in pursuing an
