Then: Kurt Angle was riding high as the WWF Champion come Rumble '01 time, but his match with Triple H felt a bit flat because both were technically heels. Still, his smoothness in the ring and all-round machine-like work ethic meant the bout was still enjoyable.

Now: Angle retired at WrestleMania 35, then became a WWE producer. Since then, he's endorsed several products, launched his own line of health foods and returned to training. Recent pics on social media reveal that Kurt is still a physical phenomenon despite all of his injuries.

It's true, it's damn true.
