15 WWE Wrestlers Whose Props Defined Their Characters
7. Kurt Angle - Gold Medals
The basis of Angles neurotic American hero character was the gold medal he won in the Mens freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, an arrogant and condescending wannabe role model who would constantly harmonise about his 3 Is philosophy - Intensity, Integrity and Intelligence - much to chagrin of his fellow WWE superstars. Its true, its true. Always wearing replicas of his gold medals, they represented the hubris and nauseating pomposity of Angles on-screen persona whose narcissism rarely endeared him to the fans he regularly patronised and who mocked The (Only) Olympic Gold Medalist (in Professional Wrestling) by chanting You Suck as he strutted to the ring.
