What is an Olympic Gold Medalist, and a former WWE and TNA champion doing so low on this list? Well, even if Kurt Angle and WWE were to strike a deal, its not a sure thing theyd ever want him in the ring again. Its no secret in the wrestling industry that Angle is beat up. Hes dealt with severe neck issues for almost 20 years now, and his intense style is something that has rarely been matched in the history of the business. Still, Angle, who is now in now in his mid-40s, is still better in the ring than the majority of wrestlers working today. For a minute, lets just think of a best case scenario and say that Angle could compete in a handful of matches. There would be plenty of great opponents for him on the WWE roster to take on. Angle could battle John Cena again after helping him become a top star years ago. He could be used to help Roman Reigns improve in the ring and get him to the next level, or take on guys like Cesaro and Daniel Bryan in dream matches. If nothing else, Angle deserves to come back to the company that made his wrestling career and enter their Hall of Fame. Hes been talking about returning for so long that you can imagine he would be thrilled to return in any capacity.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
