He is currently 41 years old and has had many injuries, today we will look at the career of Kurt Angle and determine weather he's fit to go on or finally hang it up.




Kurt Angle Started amature wrestling at Mt. Lebanon High School, where he won varsity Letters in Football & Wrestling. he was undefeated in his freshmen wrestling team and qualified for the state wrestling tournament on his sophomore year. Angle was also placed Third in the state wrestling Tournament as a Junoir and was 1987 Pennsylvania state wrestling champion as a Senior. Upon graduating from high School, Angle attended the Clarion University of pennsylvania, where he continued to wrestle at a amature wrestling level. he was a two time National Collegiate athletic Association Division 1 Champion, national runner up in 1991, and a three time NCAA Division 1 All American. In addision, Angle was the 1987 USA Freestyle Champion, and the 1988 USA International Federation of Association Wrestling Styles Junoir World Freestyle Champion. After Graduating From College, angle continue to wrestle. In 1995, he won a gold medal at the world Championships in Atlanta Georgia. Following this victory, angle Began training for the 1996 Summer Olypics under Dave schultz, Then Later became the only Olympic Gold Medal Winner with a Broken neck. A year Later Kurt Joined Vince Mcmahon and the WWF.



Before joining the WWF, Kurt went to ECW and saw the level of brutal style of wrestling he didn't want to be associated with, so he went up North to Stamford Conneticut and the world wrestling ferderation. Angle career in the WWF was very memorable as he wrestled in the WWF for more than 10 years winning multiple WWF Championships, and becoming a heel/baby face.



Kurt angle left the WWF over a scheduling dispute with Vince Mcmahon, as he wanted kurt to wrestle, but kurt declined because of a drug withdrawl he suffered, vince was angered , but kurt told him to go to hell, and left on bad terms. a couple of months later Kurt Angle joined TNA Wrestling and started a new Career he'd be remembered for. Kurt wrestled his first TNA match against Somoa Joe in a classic match at Genesis, and started a Multiple feud with Joe, each match was a classic and TNA would go to another level.




Kurt would win alot of championship in TNA, he won the TNA world Heavyweight championship three times, He won Three other title at the same time at TNA Hard justice in a Win or Nothing match with somoa Joe once again for all of the championships, kurt would prevail and leave with all of the gold. Kurt later would join other wrestlers as the Main event mafia(sting,Kevin Nash,scott steiner,booker T.)and dominate TNA for Months, but all things come to an end.


As the months go by Kurt would win the TNA title again but lose it to The Phenominal AJ Styles in the Triple Threat match at against all odds, Kurt would not reclaim the title again.




Now Kurt is 41 Years old, and the injuries he's sustain have hurt kurt really bad, after a match with Mr. Anderson kurt would take a Few months off tothink about his wrestling career, and as we speak he's going for A Fourth World title reign in a Tournament to decide the undisputed TNA world Champion. At No Surrender, Kurt wrestled Jeff Hardy in a classic match that ended in a No Contest, during the match kurt dislocated a rib on his left side of his chest. When will the Rematch with jeff hardy happen the is yet to be determined, but at Bound for Glory The TNA world Title is Hanging in the balance, this will be Kurt Angles last run in TNA.


Rumors has gone Rapid about Kurt angle Making a Last Run in the WWF, that remains to be seen....
