Kurt Angle captured national attention in 1996 when he won the 220-pound freestyle wrestling competition at the Olympic Games in Atlanta. And the extraordinarily proud Angle -- some would say conceited -- surely won't let anyone forget about it!
When the crowd has the audacity not to cheer for him, Kurt wonders aloud how anyone can boo an Olympic gold medalist.
In 2000 -- Angle's first full year in World Wrestling Entertainment -- the Pittsburgh native had probably the best rookie campaign in history.

Of course he is, he won them at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta with a broken neck I might add. I saw it and it was incredible! He was soo overwhelmed with emotion and it was a great sight to see! Kurt Angle is one of the most athletic guys in the WWE and you can't deny that at all. Every match he's in is a potential classic!

In Wrestling Wise i think... Yes, he would be respected because i for expample i normally forget that he won a Gold Medal but i know how good he is wrestling you know what i mean? Hes good, he's one of the best of all time and that Gold Medal is why, but i would respect him the same if he wouldn't won it.
