Kurt Angle's 10 Greatest Moments

5. Woooo!

Drafted to Monday Night Raw in 2005's horribly lopsided lottery-based talent trade, Kurt left his spiritual home of Smackdown for a brief stint on Monday Nights in order to help elevate new WWE Champion John Cena during the summer months of his first title reign.

However, away from some of the exceptional matches he had with 'The Doctor of Thuganomics', one of the genuine highlights of Kurt's time on the red brand took place just seconds after he walked down the Raw ramp.

Interrupting a Triple H promo, Angle toasted his greatness as a gift to Raw, capping off his soliloquy with a celebratory 'woo!'.

Raising the ire of 'The Game's right hand man Ric Flair with the theft of his famous catchphrase, Angle and 'The Nature Boy' were suddenly nose-to-nose for a monosyllabic verbal joust that would have reduced most performers to tears of laughter.

Repeatedly screaming the gesture in each other's face, the two engaged in a 'woo-off' so serious that it required Triple H to separate the pair as they indignantly claimed ownership of the iconic expression.

It was yet another example of Angle's exquisite comedic gift, again highlighting his status as one of the greatest all-rounders the industry has ever seen.
