He won a gold medal with a broken freakin neck
Oh it's True!! It's damn True!!
@@Treznor331you beat me to it!! 😂
Men were built different back then we always told to suck it up keep going. Now I live on pain medication and surgery’s for all the dumb shit. 😂
Which part of the neck? Spinal?
@@ToomasVaneSPINAL
Kurt is an absolute legend and one of the toughest dudes ever. Mad respect to him.
lucky his DUI's didn't kill anyone
Just HOW GOOD WAS MARK KERR??!!
I only present that to you because both he and Angle are 3-3 in freestyle!!l
Kurt's autobiography he explains about him not cutting weight, he never believed in cutting weight. His coaches all wanted him to cut. But he had self-belief that he was faster and had better stamina not cutting. Internationally he faced mostly 240 pound studs cutting down to 220, Kurt was facing them under 210. He felt faster better stamina at the lighter weight, would wear down his bigger stronger opponents. He had to push back hard against HS and college coach at first so they would allow him to wrestle without cutting weight. They saw how successful he was in matches not cutting and and let him continue not cutting
Thanks, I really did always wonder about that. As a guy who’d cut 30-40 lbs I can honestly say I was less focused, weaker, slower, and even my stamina suffered!
I wish there was a big push to at least see the kids in HS have some form of monitoring based from pre season or dietary standards. But something to establish a healthy standard in weight reduction limits, to still developing kids in the sport!!
Absolute legend.
.
Dam I forgot I had to cut weight for wrestling damn that’s crazy
His endurance and speed advantage was a genius tactic that paid off tremendously.
One of the greatest athletes of all time imo won Olympic gold then transitioned to being one of the greatest wrestlers in whatever company he was in seamlessly
Kurt could out work everyone, cut an amazing promo, world class athlete, a legitimate shooter, oozing with charisma, dude had the best part of everything a wrestler could have. The best ever.
The amount of adversity he overcame is impressive too. Injuries, addiction, dicorce,etc.
being a greco-roman wrestler isn't the same as being a legitimate shooter. he had that one fight with eddy, but with all due respect he wasn't a real fighter, or ever had a reputation for it.
@@Fausto_4841most ufc fighters couldn't get an Olympic gold medal.
@@djpap7490 that applies to literally every olympic sport, they only give one gold medal every 4 years. i'm not taking anything away from kurt of his accomplishments, but those unmedalled top ufc fighters would still probably kick the shit out of a gold medal wrestler.
@@Fausto_4841 not saying they couldn't, yea they can't be giving medals every year, one reason it's so hard to get. Many ufc fighters consider Olympic gold top be one of the hardest achievements in sports. Dude might not be able to strike but khabib couldn't either and look at him.
Kurt put his body through a lot, He has my respect
As a member of Kurt’s team we thank you for the respect.
@@Donny_Double_Dip👈🤡
hes a beast
I put my body through a lot too every time I have Taco Bell. Will you respect me?
@@tonyg5132 yes
Seeing Kurt still going keeps me going. I have a similar neck fusion like him. Mine was from being run over by a car. He's a gold medal champ. We're different but he keeps me alive
Keep on keeping on 🙏🏻
I broke my neck in two places and my back in seven (I broke other bones too and had internal injuries too but it doesn’t pertain here haha) in a car accident. I’m fused from C2 to C7 and T9 to L3. I have horrible chronic pain and have been in pain killers for the past 15 years just to try and live. I recently had a pain pump installed for the constant back pain. I feel like a new person. I’ve had one perc 10 in the past 3 days. I feel like I have hope for the first time in over a decade. So if you’re pain never goes away and oral pain meds can no longer manage your pain very well know that the pump exists and you can have your life back. God bless both of you and I hope your pain doesn’t become chronic and you both can recover and have a great life. Just know there is hope if your pain follows my path.
@@21nspiredbe patient. But also make sure to push yourself in PT , carefully of course. And yes, I was also run over while cycling
Kurt Angle is legit. And Perc Angle was one hell of an entertainer.
Perc Angle was unparalleled. He was unstoppable. His work rate, creativity and courage to do crazy shit was inhuman. What an absolute legend.
Perc angle just did whatever he could do to entertain us... I swear perc angle was actually insane
The amount abuse his body took is unreal. Those painkillers would've killed any other human being. He beat those too. Such a legend.
Youre the real legend ;D
@Krig_6_God get off cold war
You’d be surprised what the body can handle. No knock on Kirt at all. Just sayin.
@readingthebible5413 don't knock on Kurt
@@readingthebible5413 I feel like you're knocking Kurt by spelling his name like dirt.
Kurt angle is awesome and a staple part of my childhood as a wrestling fan
Man his stars and stripes leotard was iconic as hell just reading the name on the thumbnail brings back boyhood nostalgia we knew WWE was choreographed but we also knew that Kurt Angle had legit combat credentials despite that. His smackdown strory arcs were sick with the rey mysterio randy orton triple threat match.
It’s a singlet
Kurt Angle would have absolutely been an MMA champion had he decided to take that route. Nothing to feel insecure about.
If the route was more clear back then I think he'd have done great! his gas tank was unreal
Vince got to him first
Wrestlers have the best foundation for mma,even more back then. Just look at bo nickel right now. I think Kurt would have did really good.
He said he was to worried about his neck breaking in mma.
He felt more comfortable in wwf/e cuz it’s not intentional injuries
if he didn't cut weight he'd be fighting at 205 or 265 lol, idk
One of my heroes talking about one of my heroes. The American Gangster talking about The American Hero. 🐐talking about🐐
🇺🇸🙏🏼
My high school years were the same years he wrestled in college at Clarion. I went to wrestling camp there for a week every summer, and he was the coach in the gym I was assigned to. That dude was an absolute specimen. And a truly great guy, too.
Chael I have close personal experience with this. I was in a devastating accident. Broke my C1,2,3 and back L345. I tried to get up and both my hands were holding my head in place when my body just lost all feeling and I collapsed. I was paralyzed for 4 months as a quad.I was told I would never move anything again. Thank God I went into surgery and with a cage i can move. How in the holy hell did Kurt Angle wrestle with a broken neck is beyond unbelievable????? This guy is a beast. Great podcast bro...much love to u and the family. Be well.
I loved how Chael finished this whole thing..."How good was Kurt?" "He was the best in the world.." I absolutely love Chael in this series and I have the highest praise and love for Kurt Angle!
Kurt Angle is probably the most under rated athlete in Western sports history.
If MMA had been around at the time like it is now, I genuinely believe he would have put Brock Lesnars CV to shame.
Alas, there's not much else after college and Olympic wrestling where the elite get paid elite money so WWF was the obvious choice.
A great career.
Hall of famer easy.
It's just a sad shame he went through all that pain to provide for his family, and the pain killers he took to get through it probably cost him the family he literally put his neck on the line for every night.
I hope he has genuine peace in his retirement and he finally gets to enjoy the fruits of his labour.
Mr Angle, if by any chance you ever read this, I hope your happy and healthy.
Oh it's true!
It's DAMN true!! 👍
In 1992 Chris Campbell wrestled 198.5 for the USA. He got a bronze medal. The weight class below Kurt. Mark Kerr was the 190 lb national champion from Syracuse. I was at a camp with both men at Cornell 2 weeks before the Olympics. I was in 9th grade going into 10th. Two week intensive camp at Cornell. Gene Mills stopped by for a few days.
Chael, there is something you need to understand. Kurt Angle won the Olympics with a broken freakin' neck.
3:25
You really think Chael P Sonnen doesn't freakin' know that?
Kurt is a legend! Epic worker and shoot wrestler! So many fond memories watching him doing professional wrestling.
Kurt is the GOAT and my favorite of all time.
Kurt is a legend. I loved when him and Chris Benoit wrestled. Him breaking his neck and competing is insane.
Kurt Angle was able to outwrestle Brock Lesnar back when he was double legging a 520 pound Big Show. I hate to see how hurt he is now. I wish something would help him feel better.
Kurt’s recent interview with Rogan was pretty great, too…
i got it downloading on spotify.pumped to watch it when i saw he was on
Tbh even tho im 32 and im prob stopped watching wrestling at like 11 i still amloving all the former wrestling stars on rogan. pretty much all been great
@@Rowsy91 his painkiller addiction story is insane. How much he was going through a month, wild!
@@Rowsy91same here. A few years older. But I stopped watching wrestling at maybe 12 lol. All these older guys coming onto Rogan has been pretty awesome. Ready to see stone cold. And more importantly. Sting.
@@rusty_shackleford2226 yep stone cold would be awesome
Big fan of the rock also but I feel he’d be a bit too careful with his words if he did Rogan. I don’t blame him Hume’s a gigantic brand but don’t think it would make for as good of interview like these other guys
@@Rowsy91the Rock interview was bad but the rest have been good
Being 50 this year, I remember watching Angle win in 96, and hearing about his win in 95; I had to see it for myself.
His story is a really fantastic inspiration for perseverance. His story in the WWE is a separate tale entirely.
Feel people don't realise how amazing Kurt Angle was as an amateur because he became one of the greatest pro wrestles and the real accolade kinda gets forgotten
Angle had horrible luck between injuries and half his royalty library being with Benoit.
I loved it!!! Loved it!!! Kurt is a legend absolutely my favorite wrestler frowing up, and his story that doc amazing. Ive watched it 3 times already.
I love Kurt Angle man he’s a legend.
Kurt Angle came into WWE at it's absolute prime! Climbed right to the top right alongside Stone Cold, The Rock, Undertaker, HHH etc and absolutely deserved it. He was not only a world class wrestler but was just oozing charisma and we wanted to see more and more. When Kurt Angle was on the mic or had a match going on you sat your butt down and watched it because you knew it would be top quality.
my fav match his his wrestlemania 21 match!
This was the most eloquent way to say "with a broken freaking neck" I've ever heard in my life. Bravo 👏
I’m into the fighting for your country and kurt representing the best country in history did what he was born with. Nobody can truly understand what kurt did
The shots Chael took at Kurt 😂These are my favorite type of stories from Chael
Perc Angle is the best nickname ever
two of the greatest wrestlers I've ever seen Kurt angle in the ring and chael sonnen in the octagon I guess real does recognize real after all 👍
I will always remember the little cowboy hat.
If I am low I will watch Kurt training for the Olympics. Running hills for his slain friend while battling a broken neck
Just finished it, I loved it
This entire episode ❤️💪🏾
Huge fan of Kurt Angle. I had always enjoyed watching him in WWF/E, TNA IMPACT Wrestling and NJPW. He would've done great in MMA in his prime.
Not a nicer guy out there than Kurt
Kurt angle's neck is gigantic because it grew around is broken neck. Secondly, there's a pro wrestler named Big E who landed on his head just like Brock Lesnar dead, where most people would be probably dead or in serious trouble, but because they're so jacked and have so many muscles are in their neck, their muscles can contort and protect that neck
no reason to think it's a work
I’ve been rewatching all old WWF attitude era episodes on Peacock and let me tell you, nothing is more hype than when that Kurt angle music hits !
Kurt just did Joe Rogan........TODAY, to answer many of these questions.
I remember when Uncle Chael beat Kurt. EPIC BATTLE!
If there's a biopic for Angle. Chad Gable should play kurt angle
I think Kurt’s angle career and achievements are admirable the guy is a hero. All around great guy
Oh thats true, thats damn true!
He'll live forever in my memories as Perc Angle
haha that was a good one I mean a really good one. When you're gone and not a single person will remember your name, except possibly when they are taking a sh*t, people will still be talking about all of Kurt Angles accolades. Keep driving that hate!
@@notta3d the only hate here is from you homie
TNA Baby!
Kurt is the man. Olympic champion and one of the best entertainers in the history of the business. Nobody and I mean nobody could get the fans stirred up like Kurt Angle.
I believe that most people don't know that Ken Shamrock broke his neck at 17 from playing football.
Heard him speak with Joe Rogan. Great episode
Kurt Angle was the Mike Tyson of amateur wrestling
I watched that documentary 3 times. It's so good. Thank the lord he is sober now. He's honestly one of the toughest dudes of all time
Oh it’s true it’s damn true
Well I'm sure the three judges didn't go back to the back room and say hey this guy is the American so he wins.. Plus if someone told him he won because he had 6 offense moves to the other guys 4 then he isn't lying..
As a kid watching Wrestling I never gave Kurt enough respect. I certainly do now
He’s just sharing with us !!!!
OUR OLYMPIC HERO!!!!!
I’ll never forget the milk truck!!!
"There's a time that you're injured" says the guy who keeps bashing Dricus for not taking a fight on a 2 month notice with a possibly broken foot.
King Kurt. He's the man
The neck thing was a big part of his pro wrestling storyline, that's why he keeps mentioning it.
I mean he just won some medal with a broken neck how's that build confidence? oh, it was an Olympic medal? well I mean maybe that would build some confidence. oh, wait you said Olympic gold? with a broken neck? this dude is an absolute legend.
kurt absolutely a true entertainer and strong, etc.
Kurt is a legend ... an athlete legend and an entertainer legend ..
Kurt on a handful of vicodin is Legendary ☠
Kurt is a fuckin GOAT, period!
"Chael worked us until the end of this video, brother!" -HH
Shots fired. Angle vs Sonnen when?
Perc angle is never insecure after a 15 pack
Legendary
Kurt is an ultimate competitor
An olympic gold medalist in wrestling, it doesn't get any better
I believe he emphasized it so much because wrestling is a work and this is a real injury he incorporated into his gimmick like hey this is a work but this part is real.
“Jimmy crack corn and I don’t carrrrreeeeeee, I’VE GOT OLYMPIC GOLD!”
Kurt the 🐐
What documentary?
He’s got a great episode on Joe Rogan as well.
Perk angle was a beast
What are you doing with Kurt on Friday in Vegas??
Haven't seen chael in about a year. Looks and sounds different. Think he's putting on the mass.
Chael's brain doesn't work like others
He's probably in the right business now
Kurt tried to do MMA but the physicians were like NAHH. Dudes body is held together with bubble gum and toothpicks and he was trying to smash people.
Kyle Snyder was a small NCAA champ at Heavyweight. While he won the world championship at about 214 pounds.
Poor Kyle! Lol! He has his work cut out for him in Paris! The New kid on the block Tazhudinov AND Sadulaev… FFS. But if anyone can pull it off it’s Snyder. Just has to reallllly zone in for These Upcoming Games.
Yeah but Snyder didn't have a broken freakin neck
@@jimclaus1576 Sadulaev is older now, in his 30s I believe, but Sadulaev is a beast. Also, the Russian athletes are banned from the upcoming Paris Olympics. I don't think that is fair, but I do think that after all the doping and all the illegal stuff from Russia, and how long they hid their cheating ways, it's been a long time coming. I don't know of the wrestling Olympic committee will allow Russian athletes to compete, but it wouldn't be the same without Sadulaev. He didn't win the Olympics, but then again a lot of different sports athletes who were slated to win didn't do good.
He was the best and that's true. It's damn true
Could you imagine Kurt in MMA???? He would have been great????
Perc Angle is a legend.
I mean he showed X-rays In the documentary and you can tell it's Kurt cuz the neck is wider than his head 😂 plus he shows the exact moment when he broke it and im suprised he wasnt paralyzed from it he landed on his head woth all his weight 😂
Kurt Angle is a legend and an olympic hero
#ItsTrue
Nothing fake about Kurt angle at all the guy was a boss
I can’t let you get close
Perc Angle was the GOAT
I can’t let you get close to my broken freakin’ neck
Kurt took playing the heel and brimg made fun of like a champ and was so fucking funny on the mic
What happened to Chaels voice over the last few years? Feels like he’s on a slow SteveO path with his vocals.
Perc angle will always be top 10 wrestlers entrainment or competitively
You didnt really sell me on your closing statement
Bigger accomplishment - Bisping winning with one eye or Angle winning with a broken neck?
"and I'm a man who loves to play with little boys" - Kurt Angle
That's the only reason I know who he is lol
