10 WWE Legends Who Should Get The "Last Ride" Treatment Next

7. Kurt Angle

Ric Flair
WWE

One of the most gifted athletes in pro-wrestling history made it look all too easy. Angle exploded onto the scene and was given an immense push, but the man was so clearly talented - and legit - that it was never difficult for the fans to swallow. He just had it from the off, there was no denying it.

Outside of the ring, though, things haven’t always been so easy for the Olympic hero. Demons curtailed his time in WWE, and the issues resurfaced sporadically during his TNA run.

This dark side of wrestling is the kind of thing WWE tends to steer clear of, but in Kurt’s case, his subsequent rehabilitation and determination to pick himself up turns this into an uplifting tale of an amazingly dedicated man. Angle has been everywhere and done everything, as amateur and pro alike, and lord knows he has some tales to tell.

In recent interviews he has also proved himself to be completely and unashamedly honest, and he’s never less than engaging on the microphone. There can be few more qualified to talk about a career in this crazy business than Angle.
