I was a WWE fan back when Kurt Angle first made his debut. And I continue to remain a fan of his, having followed his career for many years on to this very night when he called it quits in his home town. Kurt Angle will wrestle his final match at WrestleMania. And this is a shame, but it was, I suppose, inevitable.

So many people who enter the wrestling ring from combat sports often disregard the hard work that goes into being a WWE superstar. Kurt Angle did not just embrace it, but he excelled at it, creating an absolutely unparalleled legacy. Today, so many people have entered the business because they've been inspired by the man.

It is clear to anyone that watches him that Angle is no longer in his prime. But he still put on a great showcase against Apollo Crews.

In any case, we wish him all the best for the future.
