Wrestling Career

Many highly skilled athletes have entered the world of professional wrestling hoping to make a splash and become a major stars in the sport. A few may become solid midcard performers, and others will sniff the main event before falling back in line.

When Kurt Angle debuted in 1999, he immediately set out to prove what an outsider coming into the industry was capable of. A gold medalist in the 1996 Olympics, Angle was an amateur wrestler who proved to be legitimately tough when he competed in the Olympics finals with a broken neck.

Now in the strange world of professional wrestling, he would have to prove himself to be the best once again, this time in a land where wins and losses mattered little but performance and character development determined the success of any man or woman who stepped through the doors. Placing tremendous pressure on himself to succeed, Angle set out to make history and become one of the greatest wrestlers in WWE history.

Debut

The 1999 Survivor Series saw Angle make his in-ring debut. After weeks of vignettes hyping his arrival, he took to the ring to square off with Shawn Stasiak, a second-generation Superstar looking to make an impact on a significant stage. Angle outwrestled Stasiak and scored an impressive victory, though the fans were anything but supportive of the celebrated “real athlete.”

Sensing the crowd’s dislike of him, he rolled out of the squared circle, grabbed a microphone and chastised them for booing an American hero such as himself. It was the first hint that Angle could succeed in sports entertainment and, more importantly, that the crowd would help him do so thanks to their disdain for his pompous character.

Kurt Strikes Gold

Angle wasted little time making an impact in World Wrestling Entertainment. Despite his winning streak coming to an end in January of 2000 at the hands of Tazz (or The Rock, depending on who you listen to), Angle rebounded by defeating Val Venis on the February 10 episode of SmackDown.

Weeks later at No Way Out, he cheated his way to a victory over Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship. Kurt would reign as both Intercontinental and European Champion until WrestleMania 2000, where he met Jericho and Chris Benoit in a two-fall, Triple Threat match. Jericho won the European title by defeating Benoit while Benoit won the Intercontinental title by downing Jericho.

WWE Champion and Waging War with The Alliance

In October of 2000, Angle completed the greatest rookie year in WWE history by defeating The Rock to become the WWE champion. He capitalized on interference from both Rikishi and Stephanie to do so, but at the end of the night, all that mattered was that he had the title in his possession. At December’s Armageddon pay-per-view, he defeated Rock, Rikishi, Triple H, Steve Austin and The Undertaker in the first (and only) six-man Hell in a Cell match.

He would lose the title back to The Rock in February. He would then feud with Chris Benoit, wrestling a series of outstanding matches against “The Rabid Wolverine” that culminated in a 2-Out-Of-3 Falls match at Judgment Day.

At King of the Ring in June 2001, he wrestled three matches, two of which came in the annual tournament. In the first match of the night, he defeated Christian. In the tournament finals, he lost to Edge. Finally, in a legitimate match-of-the-year candidate, he defeated Shane McMahon in a brutal and violent Street Fight.
