When I saw Angle for the first time, something about him irked me from a character standpoint. Maybe it was because of this motherfukker coming in during times of Austin/Rock, and being too patriotic. He just seemed meh, especially during his first title run when he was just a cornball but then in his later years something happened with Kurt that make him seem cool.
Ever since he went bald, he became the GAWD. Guy was intense in the ring, and fukking lethal with his ankle lock when he got it into the grapevine. Not to mention he was sporting a mouthpiece. It was like you knew the guy was out to kill you, violently. Sadly his neck issues took away some good times for Kurt, but I was glad that Kurt gave me a L. I can say without a doubt that Kurt Angle was pure alpha once he came home. He developed that killer attitude that would have been SICK in the attitude era but I am glad he gave WWE the last vestiges of violence.
