#6 Kurt Angle was a sportscaster

It's a good job Kurt Angle turned to WWE!

Kurt Angle recently recalled in an episode of WWE Network show ‘Ride Along’ that he became a sportscaster for Pittsburgh’s local Fox affiliate WPGH-TV following his success at the 1996 Olympic Games.

He told The Big Show, his ‘Ride Along’ buddy, how there was one time when his script flew off the desk and the teleprompter cut out, leaving him on screen with nothing to say for over 30 seconds.

The Hall of Famer admitted he was “probably the worst sportscaster ever”.
