The Olympic gold medalist is also part of the elite list which has many great names.

Kurt Angle has been one of the biggest superstars of the WWE of the past three decades and won many championships in the company. He has also served as the on-screen general manager of SmackDown and Raw.

Angle had some smart and good moves in the ring, which allowed him to gain popularity over the years and win the World Heavyweight Championship on four different occasions.

His first reign was also his longest at 126 days, which came when he defeated The Rock in a no-disqualification match at No Mercy in October 2000.

Between 2002 and 2003, Angle had a memorable feud with Brock Lesnar which saw the title being traded back and forth until The Beast ended Angle’s fourth and final title reign.

Angle has also won the World Heavyweight Championship in other wrestling promotions a number of times.
