I became so sad when he said "I am barely making it, I am really struggling man". and thats not about money, its about the most precious thing on earth... HEALTH. Kurt, please get well soon. you are a freaking legend!
Angle is a genuine hero to me. Dude performed at the highest level wrestling with a broken neck. He kicked a huge painkiller addiction. And is suck a good heated person from what i can tell.
Kurt Angle was for me the best pro wrestler I had ever seen. When you consider his skills on the mic, he is the complete package, or total package if you will.
Definitely. Don't care what anyone says but he is indeed the greatest pro wrestler ever. He has that aura, in ring skills, promos, charisma, comedic timing and a gold medal to add to it with a broken FREAKING neck.
As a kid/young teen watching WWF/WWE in the early 2000’s I used to wake up early every Saturday in the UK just so I could watch Kurt Angle on SmackDown, I was his biggest fan growing up and he’s still my favourite wrestler of all time. It’s so sad to see all the pain and suffering he’s been going through with injuries. As a youngster, watching wrestling you take it for granted how much these wrestlers put their bodies on the line for our entertainment. I appreciate all the years of joy Kurt Angle gave me. I hope he can go on to live a healthy and comfortable life, he deserves it. Thank you Kurt!
The pill thing about getting off them, the hollow feeling, all of it is so true, i went through it all too. And the worst thing about it is you still crave and think about it after and still feel an emptiness without it. Even after months of being off it. If your reading this and you know you have an addictive personality please stay away from prescription pain killers
@@JesterBeatsyeah. Over a year clean and still have issues. It gets easier over time, especially if u find other things u enjoy to soak into. For me its boxing and general training. Ik ppl hate working out at first but it becomes addicting.
Omg I knew alot about Kurt but never about the night before the SD IronMan Match. Wow. I watched that match when I was 13 on UPN which was basically on "bunny ears" as we lived in the deep mountains where there was no cable. That match is still one of the best matches let alone not even being on a PPV. What a gladiator!
Kurt Angle is genuinely one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, both in Amateur and Pro Wrestling. A match between him and Bret Hart would have been legendary. At least he had a dark match with Owen Hart, though. (wish there was video of that... 😔)
An Olympic Gold Medalist wrestler, who translated extremely well in pro wrestling. Dude just had unlimited talent and over the top charisma. He is definitely top 5, at least of this millennium.
Unlimited talent? Lol don't get me wrong he was a great wrestler, but he stayed in the same field his whole career he just we t from amateur to pro lol Brock Lesnar is way more talented than him...dominated wrestling when he was young then went to the nfl then pro wrestling then the ufc and also acting I believe to.
@rickwoolnough8508 1. Amateur and pro wrestling are two completely different animals. He is a gold medalist, and beat Brock in an actual wrestling match. 2. Brock barely made the practice squad before being cut. And the NFL *attempt* was after he left WWE the first time. 3. All wrestlers are actors and Brock had to be carried by Heyman for 20 years because he had the charisma of a stick and couldn't talk. Kurt was comedy gold. He didn't need anyone to talk for him. That being said, never heard of Brock acting outside of the ring. Not glazing but my man you don't fully grasp what you're talking about.
@jalegirl yea he definitely was. Didnt get all the props or the champjonship run he deserved. Idk who your miserable ass is talking too but it ain't me on a Friday 🤣
Kurt is the best regarding funny segments and also a true inspiration! When i struggle with pain I always think about him…a real true representation of the generation that was not complaining and victimising themselves for every scratch they had ❤
The amount of stuff Angle's over come in life is commendable. I know some issues were self inflicted, but he still worked hard to overcome them. I respect how open he is about it all too.. very humble.
As a disabled vet from Iraq the neck disk replacement is wonderful!! But all my lower fusion has been missable and live with bad pain everyday but get the upper replacement
I didn’t appreciate Kurt when he was wrestling but after he retired and started doing podcasts I have a whole new respect for the man. Wrestled with a broken friggin’ neck. Won a gold medal. Won multiple accolades in WWE. Battled addiction. I’m overcame addiction. Kurt did it all.
This is one of my favourite JREs. I'd seen/heard it in full twice before it was finally released to RUclips but when it popped up I selected it without hesitation. Kurt is an animal and I mean that in the most complimentary way 😁
I injured my lower back in an accident while in the Military, I had a total of seven back surgeries, including three 4-level fusion’s and all I can tell is, IF you have any other options for procedures, take those options first. DO NOT immediately get a fusion first if you can help it. I’ve had to retire early and have atrophy in both legs to this day, including severe nerve pain.
1:16:43 Batista only wrestled full time from 2002/3 at OVW (WWE developmental school) to 2013! Batista never wrestled 20yrs as he in his late 20’s or early 30’s when he started wrestling so he wrestled for 10-11yrs max
Kurt's wrestling skills are unmatched in my opinion. To me when you think of a wrestler, Kurt immediately comes to mind. This guy is the essence of wrestling. Like if there was a booklet with tooltips on certain moves, Kurt is gonna be on every example and demonstration
I didn't respect him in the wwf but I watched a biography about everything he went through and I totally respect him after watching it..all the pain and addiction etc😊
I always wanted to see Kurt and Curt (Angle and Hennig) to become a tag team together and become THE PERFECT ANGLE! I can't believe that it never happened.
I can't think of a more universally respected pro wrestler... Old fans, new fans, hardcore fans, casual fans. Wrestling fans are some of the most naturally toxic, contrarian people on this planet - but they all agree that Kurt was absolutely incredible.
Kurt and big poppa pump where the 2 guys that kept me watching wrestling back in the 2000s. Was so entertaining. Needs more flowers than they give him.
i will respect kurt angle forever. he gave his absolute all just to entertain us. won a gold medal with a broken freakin neck, became arguably one of the the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, and overcame a horrible addiction and kept his sobriety. this man is a walking inspiration.
So one thing Kurt failed to mention: There IS a wrestling mat over the wood but it doesn't do anything to soften those bumps. Also, Brock broke Hardcore Holly's neck by botching a powerbomb and almost broke A-Train's neck on a botched F5. Young Brock was a bit unsafe
As someone who has a destroyed disk in my neck, I can relate to the problems Angle has like nerve damage, atrophy and bad pain. I lost 20 lbs of muscle over the last 8 years. Neck issues suck ass but its worse that I’m too poor to get anything done
When I clicked on this podcast I did not think that it was going to turn into a discussion on painkillers and drugs now I can't turn it off graham Hancock and Kurt angle now my favorite guests
Before he competed in the Olympics, his dad died in a construction accident and was living with his mom helping support her. Then won with a broken neck. Go watch his match when he won the gold. Amazing. 🇺🇲
I have c5 to c7 fusion with cadaver bone. Titanium plate with 6 screws. The doctors scared me into having surgery before I could see what else was possible. I have more problems now than I did before surgery and more pain.
Man me and curt have a lot in common. I broke my neck too, got addicted to drugs and alcohol. Went to rehab, was terrified to leave. Same feelings I have, I'm 9 years sober. Guys like curt inspired me.
@@Mozzos Joe uploaded all the past episodes from Spotify all at once, so people's subscription boxes were filled with like 1000 JRE episodes. It was fixed shortly after I posted this comment, but mine and everyone else's sub box was useless for at least an hour.
Oh Man Angle is real as they come. I hadn't realised he had broken his neck so many times. Very entertaining to listen too. No bullshit. I really hope the Doctor can help him with his neck and spinal issues. He deserves some better quaility of life after all he has done.
Withdrawal for me felt like every weak point that you have just magnifies by 100% we're I had my back surgery would hurt so bad for weeks but then my brain healed and the pain went away it was liberating everything Kurt talked about hit home to me this was a good podcast to hear 👍 up to Joe Rogan and Kurt angle CRAZY!! Rogan says exactly the way my life was since 2010 now 7months clean from all opiates love this shit
It's absolutely incredible how much pain and torture these guys went through in the early years of WWF even if you watch The Undertaker with Joe Rogan it's the same experiences
None of these comments talk about how he said opiate withdrawal was harder than winning the Olympics with a broken neck or anything he’s ever done. He gets treated like an all time warrior for one but people look down on everyone fighting the second which even Kurt admits was harder.
Cuz your fighting yourself. So if he is a Olympic gold winner he basically has to beat a person with that kind of drive. Unfortunately he is the under dog in that battle. Your mind will make you do unbelievable things to justify doing the drugs. Honestly with money like he had he should have just been put under for 2 weeks and wake up clean. Or just given kolonipins until he was a zombie.

Kurt Angle is the real deal as a human. Such heart. Great interview.
Being a WWF fan since 85/86 and I'm 40 now this episode was AWESOME. Kurt Angle is one of my favorites of all time.
I saw hope in his eyes and that's cool as hell.

It's sad how many people aren't gonna take this opinion seriously but I 100% agree
And the prettiest moonsault EVER
Definitely. Don't care what anyone says but he is indeed the greatest pro wrestler ever. He has that aura, in ring skills, promos, charisma, comedic timing and a gold medal to add to it with a broken FREAKING neck.
Oh it’s true!
Stone Cold had said numerous of times on his podcast that Angle picked up pro wrestling faster than anyone he’s known. He was just a natural.
Kurt is a legit dude. This conversation has felt 100% genuine. No bs
Hes so humble too. Not afraid of telling the truth even though it could make him look bad. Hogan could learn from Kurt amd his "3 I's"

Thank you for everything you gave us kurt. A true legend of ruthless agression.

Kurt Angle is genuinely one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, both in Amateur and Pro Wrestling. A match between him and Bret Hart would have been legendary. At least he had a dark match with Owen Hart, though. (wish there was video of that... 😔)
Agreed. Would have been great to see Kurt and Ricky Steamboat.
That is a dream match for me. Both Bret and Kurt in their prime. 2 of 3 submission match. 60 minute time limit.
@joshuagumpert8910 That is THE dream match along with Sting vs. Undertaker
That Dave Schultz shirt is super touching. That man is a true legend.
Isn't he only famous for giving John Stossel the easiest payday of his life?

Kurt angle was overshadowed IMO by larger than life personalities like austin, rock, taker, etc but was without a doubt one of the best to ever do it.
definitely never overshadowed. You have no clue what you are talking about

That is true. Also the loss of his sister was very tragic. Hope he gets better physically
