The 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist is often spoken of as being one of the quickest learners in pro-wrestling history. In addition, his workrate was second-to-none and he is often considered the greatest wrestler of his generation by many of his peers. Shawn Michaels, generally considered one the best ever, has even named Kurt when discussing opponents he thought he may have had to train harder for (when discussing his preparation for their WrestleMania 21 classic). Aside from Michaels, Kurt Angle has had so many legendary matches with Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, The Rock, Triple H, Austin, Shane McMahon and scores more that his place in wrestling history should be firmly planted. But as important as Angle was to WWE between his 1999-2006 run, his legacy and contributions have been all but ignored since he was granted his release in 2006. Whether there are lingering personal issues, ill-will, or some other secret reason for Angle seemingly being blacklisted from WWE, he is one of the greatest workers of all-time and also, currently, one of the most under-appreciated personalities in WWE history. That WWE won't grant Angle a part-time comeback after he lobbied so hard for it, speaks volumes.
