Kurt Angle is regarded as the greatest professional wrestler in the world. He is a two-time NCAA national champion wrestler and the only Olympic Gold Medal winner (1996 Olympics) in professional wrestling. A multi-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Kurt Angle has been dominant in every organization he has been a part of. Angle turned the world of professional wrestling upside down by signing with TNA in 2006. TNA Wrestling fans voted this as the greatest acquisition in TNA history.

Angle has continued to build upon his unmatched reputation for giving everything he has in the ring during his time in TNA, most notably feuding with “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles and TNA Founder Jeff Jarrett. With his time in TNA, Kurt Angle has become the second Triple Crown champion in TNA, winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, the TNA Tag Team Championship and the TNA X Division Championship.

Recently, Kurt Angle stepped in as the official spokesperson to spearhead TNA’s Save Olympic Wrestling campaign petitioning to reinstate wrestling as an Olympic sport for the 2020 Olympic Games. Feb. 12, 2013, the International Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced “25 Core Sports” for the 2020 Olympic Games, dropping one of the original Olympic sports: wrestling. Angle geared up against this decision and organized a battalion of like minds to save this Olympic sport.
