Turning corproate suck up and all round goofball, Kurt Angle into the hero of the WWE was inspired.

In 2001, he obliterated Shane McMahon in a violent street fight. Less than two months later, after Stone Cold's betrayal of the company, Kurt Angle stepped into the role as the most over babyface in the company. It was genuinely thrilling stuff and the heat that was built for their SummerSlam match was palpable.

Although Angle's arc went off the rails when he later joined the Alliance, but as a mole, the first few months, culminating in Angle taking the belt from Austin, were electric. Playing a goofy heel for his entire WWE run, Angle proved how intense and heroic an Olympic Hero could be.

Which brings us to easily the most iconic moment in Kurt Angle's illustrious, Hall of Fame worthy career. As the Alliance took the ring to show their appreciation to Stone Cold, Stephanie McMahon murdered pet dog's everywhere with her vile rendition of Wind Beneath My Wings.

Cue the thunderous intro to Angle's music, and to an insane pop, Angle drove a milk truck to the ring. Mirroring Austin's famous beer truck, Angle gave the entire Alliance a milk bath, ending with him downing cartons of milk and trash talking, whilst JR lost his mind on commentary screaming 'It's Milk-o-mania!'

Sheer excellence.
