Kurt Angle on breaking his neck before the Olympic Trials

Kurt Angle is a 14-time professional wrestling world champion, with titles collected in WWE, TNA, and Japan. He is in both the WWE and TNA/Impact Hall of Fames, a two-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion, and has also won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Games with, as he likes to say, ‘a broken freaking neck.’ At every stop in his career, Angle has reached the top of the mountain, and now he’s taking his Three I’s; Intensity, Intelligence, and Integrity, to the podcast world as he joins host Conrad Thompson to take a look back at some of the matches, feuds and moments that turned an Olympic gold medalist into one of the greatest sports entertainers of all time. It’s True. It’s damn true

For a regular person, we would had thrown the towel the moment we broke our neck. Kurt is just an incredible athlete.

[@Dakatari]

[@zechariahverse1]

[@disciplewill7696]

He isn't human, I couldn't even imagine the pain, who has ever slept wrong and couldn't turn you neck the next morning, that alone is brutal, lol.

[@ElizabethMconkey]

[@manl15_89]

[@CortexZero]

I watched this video with a stiff freakin neck.
You're a legend Kurt, you are the man.

[@marks2053]

Everyone would have quit the moment they broke there neck. A very few would have competed but lost cause of the disadvantage. Then there is Kurt Angle who competes and manages to win. That is incredible, simply unbelievable.

[@ElizabethMconkey]

Kurt Angle much respect to you. You're a tough SOB. Freaking neck is broken and you still wrestled. If I get a cut on my hand,I am stopping what I am doing but not you.

[@ronaustin8381]

I'm guessing that if Kurt had won in a later year, say 08, 12 or 16 he would have probably ended up in the UFC like DC instead of the WWE

[@TheRainDemon]

Him proving he was the best real wrestler in the whole world still couldn't prevent him from being bought out by Vince lol
