It's true(sorry. Only 1x here). He was a goofball and it's like a switch flipped when the bell rang. And even in the few times when he carried the goofball into the match itself, he let the opponent get some offense in and then went "Ok, i think thats enough" and then he would pop up and just annihilate his opponent.
Part of what made Kurt so good wasnt how good he was in the ring...it was his ability to go from absolute idiot backstage to someone that you take seriously as a main eventer within 10 minutes is crazy.
I can’t say it enough; Kurt Angle has a MIGHTY strong case for best ever. He was funny, terrifying, chicken shit heel, aggression based bad ass, the WORKS. Dude could go in the ring, mic and everything between. Five tool wrestler!
Kurt Angle can do it all, not only an amazing technical wrestler, he gets the audience in his palm. He can easily make people cheer, boo, laugh, and cry.
@@siddhantahuja351He who shall remain unamed, if you cannot tell from that he wrestled Kurt at WM17 and the following two PPVs in a trilogy. He was considered one of the best ring technicians ever, in a 2017 interview Kurt even said he'd have to be top 3 of all time.
Kurt Angle was an anomaly. He could be deadly serious. He could be freakin’ ridiculous. But he was a GOD in that ring and we’ll never get another one like him.
Kurt was the kind of guy who could probavbly wear a diaper and still kick your ass. It doesn't matter how ridiculous what he did outside the ring was, he was a beast inside the ring and a legit asskicker.
@@ConleySmooge still makes me laugh today, all the segments with Austin were hilarious, I get he was a crutch for Austin due to his issues but Kurt carried him and made the segments.
Kurt really does not get enough credit for just how funny he was. I will always chuckle at moments like when he was Austin's sidekick and wore that tiny cowboy hat, his rendition of "I'm a Sexy Kurt", or his self-own response of "Your mother taught me how!" to the "You suck!" chants at One Night Stand. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kurt angle imo is the greatest wrestler of all time. He could do it all. Literally. Never seen a wrestler being able to wrestle, talk, use power, use quickness, use skill all while being massively entertaining and somwhow still be taken seriously. My favorite wrestler of all time!
Agreed. The more I think about his run, the higher he goes. Glad he had his brief "Wrestling Machine" run where he had some of the biggest pops in the business.
Kurt was, and probably forever always will be, my absolute favorite wrestler. Dude could put on a match like few others in the history of the biz ever could, and the cut of his jib on the mic... Fk me, man. He could crack the crowd up like no other, face or heel.
Crazy how much of life Kurt got to experience. Super humbling and humanizing stuff, I bet. Guy must feel blessed and thankful just waking up everyday. Even crazier, he shared it to us to keep us entertained and share something with us. Class act.
He was an addict for quite a while and even got fired because of it. So he's seen some dark places too. But I respect him more because he mad3 it thru all that clean
He was a local hero in the town I grew up in. When he had his court hearings for chances to see his daughter, all of Coraopolis PA would stand outside the court house and support him. I remember seeing him at the bars in the area just talking to people like he wasn't a star. The man is legit a nice person. ❤ He has his past but he definitely made up for it
As a kid, I couldn't comprehend or appreciate just how good Kurt was. Now as an adult, I realize that I was damn lucky to get to enjoy his time in WWE.
Hes 1000% right that Kurt doesnt get the credit he deserves for his character work. He was HILARIOUS when he wanted to be, like crack people up funny. I picture the tiny cowboy hat
Kurt’s match against Tazz at Royal Rumble has to be one of the greatest matches I’ve ever watched, Tazz should’ve been given a push, his suplex skills were unreal!
For him to effortlessly transition from Olympic to Pro Wrestling was unbelievable. His promos were always gold. And as Taker said he could go in that ring.
I’ve always said Kurt is underrated even though he got such a big push all time he’s always been the guy I said doesn’t get enough credit I used to love how entertaining he was
Kurt was an incredible actor honestly, he completely shelved his ego and went 100% into whatever character he needed to be that week, I really love looking back and seeing how good he really was when I didn’t fully appreciate it as a kid
I'm from Pittsburgh, and watched him from his Olympic days and he is a great human and entertainer. In and out of the ring just a stand up guy. Nice to hear his peers say so.
Kurt Angle is number one all time if you are absolutely objective about it. He's the best all around guy. He's got the tactics, the comedy, the power, the speed, the athletics, the promo, he can be a face, he can be a heel, he's basically a superpowered macho man.
Kurt is one of the greatest ever. Heel, babyface, serious, comedy act...he could do it all. Great in the ring, on the mic, at working his character, every aspect of the industry.
I love hearing the Undertaker talk about old times and love hearing him show respect to the greats. I love Kurt for his ridiculous on-screen antics, such a fun era
I always gave Kurt his flowers. But what really sold me on him as an all-time great was that 3 way he did with Taker and Rock, if memory serves. The WWECW run. And then of course, his whole TNA run.
I loved Kurt so much. As a lifelong wrestler I was stoked to see a real wrestler in WWE. And he was good everywhere. Love seeing Taker give him his flowers.
Kurt was an Olympic gold medalist and incredibly gifted athlete that actually bought into what the business was all about. He had great charisma, could get tons of heat, delivered some awesome promos, and he was one of the best in the ring.

Kurt is one of the guys, I hated as kid. But as an adult you realise just how iconic and generational Kurt was
I feel the exact same way!
I loved him then and still love him but I definitely didn’t appreciate him enough til hearing what the dudes who worked with him have to say about him
Idk..even as a kid I loved the heels..so Kurt and randy orton have always been my favorites
Facts
Agreed.
Kurt basically embodied the mantra of, “I don’t mind acting silly for a laugh because sooner or later, that bell is going to ring.”
This goes hard
That's festus' motto too 😅
It's true(sorry. Only 1x here). He was a goofball and it's like a switch flipped when the bell rang. And even in the few times when he carried the goofball into the match itself, he let the opponent get some offense in and then went "Ok, i think thats enough" and then he would pop up and just annihilate his opponent.

Kurt is the guy John Cena tried to be but failed ! 🤷🏻♂️
@@SirManfly completely different characters bruh.
How did Cena try to copy anything from Kurt?
Its crazy isnt it... No wrestler could be that type of wrestling character starting off,and become a top-10 to 12 all-timer... it really is amazingg
@@handleunavailableremember, Cena didnt come in with that hiphop gimmick.
@@SirManflyfailed but won 17 titles and made the company billions off merch
Kurt got it from the very beginning. Aside from his athletic credentials he was a natural as an entertainer.
Not to mention he won his medal with a broken neck
@@karlpower5476 No. He won his gold medal with a broken freaking neck.
@@wewin03 Dude his neck was freaking broken when he won his gold medal!
His comedic timing is maybe the best ever in wrestling.
He was so good man I miss him.
Kurt got it. He definitely understood the business and how to work a crowd. I would have loved to see him back in the 1980s in the NWA.
I can’t say it enough; Kurt Angle has a MIGHTY strong case for best ever. He was funny, terrifying, chicken shit heel, aggression based bad ass, the WORKS. Dude could go in the ring, mic and everything between. Five tool wrestler!
I agree. Guy is what WWE is all about
So does Perc Angle
I will never forget how WWE did Kurt a horrible disservice when they made him go out like a sucka to "Constable" Corbin.
I second that notion
Yes he does he’s in that rarified air
Kurt Angle can do it all, not only an amazing technical wrestler, he gets the audience in his palm. He can easily make people cheer, boo, laugh, and cry.
Apparently he only had 9 months of training before he debuted if that is true it only elevates how gifted he was
And to think he didn't belive he'd get booed due to bring a gold medalist
Yup the guy really excelled at everything.. True wrestling God.
He can't throw Shane through a pane of glass on the first try 😂
@@socomchamp00 yip so threw him threw several instead for the inconvenience.

Not the best.

Kurt ist definitely top 5 at least. He's in my top 3 with Eddie and Chris (not counting high flyer like Mysterio or the Dragon)
@@CellerKindNo, Kurt was a legit Olympic wrestler. He isn't talking about the performance as an actor/wrestler but actual wrestling.
Kurt Angle was an anomaly. He could be deadly serious. He could be freakin’ ridiculous. But he was a GOD in that ring and we’ll never get another one like him.
Maybe not just like him, but we do have Kurt's "Mini Me" in Chad Gable
@TheNightOwl11683 mini me is about right, phenomenal but about 10% of the real deal
@@jamestombs5567 I'd say about 50% is more accurate. Gable seems like he's been on the bean since Wrestlemania
@TheNightOwl11683 he's class don't get me wrong but he isn't close to 50%. Not a slight on Gable, just that Angle was generational
Kurt was the kind of guy who could probavbly wear a diaper and still kick your ass. It doesn't matter how ridiculous what he did outside the ring was, he was a beast inside the ring and a legit asskicker.
Kurt is arguably the best wrestler of all time , he had everything charisma, wrestling skills, mic skills and dude was a wrestling machine
I've never seen a wrestler who had all the tools. He lacked nothing.
And it's not his work in the WWE that makes him the best. It's the fact he wrestled in the Olympics with a broken neck.
Best technical wrestler up there with Bret and other guy you know who
Dork Kurt Angle was hilarious, he really didn't get the praise.
Dork Kurt was the golden age era of Kurt Angle, Godfather of MEM Kurt was silver age.

I angle slammed my little brother through a living room table when I missed the couch. Kurt angle is goated
Lmfao broooooo
Daaaammnnnnn😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
lmfaooooooooooooooooo
"missed". FOH
Kurt Angle was like the "Carlton" of the WWE but when he is in that ring, he is a absolute beast. So entertaining to watch him wrestle.
Actually, that's the perfect comparison. He was goofy as hell, but that man was all business when it came down to it.
Perc Angle was litterally a 99 overall
The reality of what he went through sucks, but you're so right
Facts 😂😂😂
99 Adderall
@@isekaitrash9108😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I see what you did there 😂😂😂😂😂😂
100 overall
Taker is one guy you can listen to all day long
Taker and Kurt Angle had some of the best matches in WWE history, especially at No Way Out 2006.
That match needs more credit
That match and the triple threat with rock and taker in 2002 were great
That match was great!
That's the match I wanted to see: Kurt Angle and Deadman Undertaker, because Kurt Angle only faced the American Badass Undertaker.
That match was unreal, it's one of my personal favourites
Kurt really does not get enough credit for just how funny he was. I will always chuckle at moments like when he was Austin's sidekick and wore that tiny cowboy hat, his rendition of "I'm a Sexy Kurt", or his self-own response of "Your mother taught me how!" to the "You suck!" chants at One Night Stand. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or when he said "Im a man who loves to play with boys" will always make me laugh 😂
Kurt was literally a wrestling machine
He was also right jokingly with the gimmick.. as Olympic champion Kurt Angle was LEGIT BADASS 😂
*figuratively
When Kurt said to Undertaker, "As they say on the street, my bad." I lost it. LOL
Really love Taker’s description of Kurt here. Great props to a great wrestler, from a great wrestler.
Kurt angle imo is the greatest wrestler of all time. He could do it all. Literally. Never seen a wrestler being able to wrestle, talk, use power, use quickness, use skill all while being massively entertaining and somwhow still be taken seriously.
My favorite wrestler of all time!
Real wrestling cardio is a different animal.
When he took on a sort of comedic role it also allowed him to be loved. It’s genius.
He was comedic from day 1. Bro got on thr mic and said "you don't boo an Olympic gold medalist" it was Over after that
That’s why they called him wrestling machine lol
Kurt was so much fun!
My favorite wrestler!
My favorite is still the mini cowboy hat and the milk truck 😂
"count him in too" - stone cold
The milk truck & " I'm a man who likes to play with boys. "Are right up there with the funniest things in WWF.
JIMMY CRACK COOORRN
Kurt is one of those wrestlers that people either loved or loved to hate. JACKPOT in the wrestling game
Kurt is in my top 5 ALL TIME!
Same here
Same
Not for me but he's way up there
Your top 5 sucks then 😂@@KenpachiPoker
Agreed. The more I think about his run, the higher he goes. Glad he had his brief "Wrestling Machine" run where he had some of the biggest pops in the business.
I love how much respect these guys have for each other I think that is what made the attitude era so good for WWE at the time
I didnt realise how talented this guy was until i got older. That guy was a machine indeed
Kurt was awesome in all his segments and definitely entertaining. Definitely miss seeing that angle slam
Kurt was, and probably forever always will be, my absolute favorite wrestler. Dude could put on a match like few others in the history of the biz ever could, and the cut of his jib on the mic... Fk me, man. He could crack the crowd up like no other, face or heel.
He was amazing at handling whatever was thrown his way.
Kurt was ALWAYS one of my favorites to watch, when he went Heel I followed him. True Icon! 💪🏾🇺🇸
Kurt is da 🐐
Outside the ring, he lived a messy life with pain and addiction and it effected his family. In the ring he is one of the best.
Two of the most respected wrestlers ever
From a view point KURT ANGLE WAS RIGHT .. for the fact he was an ex Olympic champion he was and is the most American Badass of WWE, not Taker😂
Kurt is one of the funniest guys of all time! Also one of my favs to actually watch perform!

Kurt's skillset was among the best I've seen. Kurt, Benoit, Samoa Joe & Taz too, outstanding repertoire. 😮
Kurt was, without a doubt, a star.
Finally. I wanted so bad to hear Mark talk about Kurt. Two of the greatest on their own right
Damn, angle won a gold medal? How'd I miss that?

As a wrestler in High School, I ate this up. Kurt Angle, was freaking hillarious. Comedian, Wrestler, actor, athlete. Top 5 wrestlers of all time
Kurt was one of, if not, the greatest of all time. He had great mic skills AND amazing wrestling skills.

Kurt is not human and I stand by that. Dude accomplished so much while dealing with shit that would easily brake people like you and me.
For him to effortlessly transition from Olympic to Pro Wrestling was unbelievable. His promos were always gold. And as Taker said he could go in that ring.
I loved Kurt Angel from the start. Oh it’s true, it’s true. The man shined with intensity, integrity, and intelligence.
Kurt could legit match anybody on the mic and was a legend in the ring maddddd underrated
Perc angle the fucking man! The myth! The legend!

When undertaker lights up and with a smile and praises you. You were damn good.
Kurt is my favorite wrestler since he was the Euro-Continental champion. He is great and its cool to hear how Taker felt about him
Looking back Kurt is the best of all time. Hard to appreciate at the time but his comedy and ability was unmatched. "I'll make your ankle hurt"
