10 Best WWE Moments From Wrestlers Who Just Got Released

The list of memorable Kurt Angle moments in WWE is long enough to fill a dozen features, but his Hall of Fame induction in 2017 stands out as both career defining for the Olympic Gold Medallist and one that remains a highlight of his return to the company a few years ago.

After a stellar introduction by John Cena, Kurt Angle would talk openly about his past issues and didn't shy away from touching on the sillier moments of his WWE career. That included donning a tiny cowboy hat, singing, and generally getting those in attendance to eat out of the palm of his hand.

Angle proved he still had it without even stepping back into the squared circle, and downing those two bottles of milk saw him recreate an already iconic moment in a very different setting. It was brilliant, and definitely the highlight of a ceremony which tends to be a tad hit or miss.

Before being released, Angle was serving as a backstage producer helping to make stars out of today's wrestlers. Unfortunately, that's come to an end, as has his in-ring career.
