Kurt Angle participated in a reddit AMA (ask me anything) in order to promote his addiction app: Angle Strong. He spoke on a wide variety of topics about his wrestling career. One of the most interesting parts was when he was asked about the Undertaker.

Angle was asked if the Undertaker ever considered him to end his legendary Wrestlemania ‘Streak’. He says that the Undertaker had an idea for them to wrestle at Wrestlemania 22 and was even willing to lose the match.
Here is the story according to Kurt:
“Undertaker did go to me in January of that year and said, “Listen, I think we should talk to Vince. I know you’re champion. I know they don’t want to go with me as champion, so I’m willing to lose if we have to. I never had that Wrestlemania match that I wanted and I know that I can have it with you.”
He encouraged me to talk with Vince. It was never thought of. Vince never thought of it. As a matter of fact, Vince shot it down right away! But it was an idea Undertaker had. It wasn’t an idea I had. It wasn’t an idea Vince was thinking of doing. Vince McMahon didn’t want it and it was an idea that got shot down. That conversation was very quick, very brief. (laughs)
Fortunately, Undertaker did have those Wrestlemania Moment matches afterward, so I was really happy for him that he had that”

Vince McMahon would ultimately shut the idea down. The Undertaker would wrestle Mark Henry and Kurt would face Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton at the event.
