WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle remains one of the most technically-gifted pro wrestlers to have ever stepped foot inside the squared circle. He had arguably the best rookie year in WWE history as he won the WWE Championship within a year and competed at the highest level for many years after that.
Angle would leave WWE in 2006 and made his way to TNA Wrestling, where he spent a decade in the company, surpassing the seven years he stayed in WWE. He also had instant classics in TNA, including matches against the likes of AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Nigel McGuiness, and many more.
Kurt Angle and Stephanie McMahon had a longstanding storyline in WWE. While his romantic alliance with Stephanie ended all of a sudden, the feud with Triple H helped him become a legitimate main event star in the promotion. Kurt Angle had the following to say on his podcast about his kayfabe love affair with Stephanie McMahon:
“And a guy and girl I had the best chemistry with? If we’re talking, girl, I would say Stephanie McMahon! We had good chemistry. But, guy? From a romantic standpoint? (laughs).”
