i totally agree he was and is there only special atrraction in fact i am positive he has or had the highest guranteed contract in pro wrestling. brock can still perform at a high level. its a shame kurt angle left when he did cause he was a great worker as well and legit athlete . many people said kurt angle learned wrestling faster than anyone ever in the wwe
I heard that with Kurt, it was basically the WWE trying to save him from himself. That his addiction to painkillers and other drugs was compounded by the fact that he was very insecure and fearful that if he took time off to heal and rehab his injury (especially his neck), when he returned he would have lost his "spot" to other people. He wanted to remain on top and was grinding himself down by eagerly taking on as much travel as he could and doing all kind of high spots in matches. Vince tried some tough love and told Angle he had to enter rehab for the alcohol abuse (conveniently leaving out the drug addiction in the press release) and Kurt took it personal and instead jumped to the other smaller company.
But yeah.... Angle had it all. The wrestling, the tools, the mic skills, the way he could piss people off to hate him. He was another one in a million.
