Seldom do people enter pro wrestling and excel in both aspects: athleticism and talking on the microphone.
Kurt Angle is unique in that regard. Of course, the wrestling end was easy as he had recently won a gold medal in 1996 in amateur wrestling (famously with a broken “freakin” neck) when he entered WWE. But surprisingly, he was also a gifted talker. Quickly, Angle was on top of the world, feuding with stars like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Rock.
You don’t want to miss this interview with one of the biggest names in pro wrestling history.
