11 Legit Toughest WWE Wrestlers Of The Attitude Era

3. Kurt Angle

An Olympic Gold Medallist in wrestling, Angle was the ultimate athlete in WWE. His toughness was unquestioned, and the only reason he doesn't top this list, is because he lacked the multi-disciplinary toughness of the top two. He won gold with a broken neck, and for those who don't know, the training and conditioning for amateur wrestling is as hard as it gets. Kurt was a machine, capable of freaky strength and power. He trained like an animal and was able to manhandle some of the toughest people on earth during his mat bouts. Coming into the WWF, he earned instant respect. The whole locker room knew what he was capable of, and nobody was going to mess with him.
