31 Wrestlers & Staff WWE Just Released

13. Kurt Angle

WWE legend, all-round wrestling machine and producer Kurt Angle deserves special mention too.

He rushed onto the scene in 1999 and deftly juggled playing comedic heel and credible, realistic pro wrestler. It's no exaggeration to say that Angle took to WWE's style quicker than many who had been working it for years - he's one of the best ever, and that'll forever be his legacy.

Kurt's in-ring career ended on a sour note in a crappy match against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35, but he seemed to be enjoying his producer duties. Sure, it wasn't ideal, and he'd probably rather he was given a bigger send off, but Angle had a lot of knowledge to give.

The good news is, he still does. Someone will benefit from his wealth of experience.
