Kurt Angle

Kurt Angle is perhaps the most naturally gifted athlete to ever enter professional wrestling. An Olympic Gold Medalist in freestyle wrestling, he transitioned to the squared circle with ease, mastering the nuances of the business in record time. Angle was a rare talent who could be a terrifyingly intense technical wrestler one moment and a hilarious, self-deprecating comedy act the next. His intensity, combined with his legitimate grappling background, made him a believable threat to anyone, and his matches remain some of the most technically sound in history.
