Kurt Steven Angle Wiki Biography

Kurt Steven Angle was born on 9 December 1968, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA,  and is a professional wrestler, actor, as well as a former amateur wrestler renowned for his college accomplishments in particular.

So just how rich is Kurt Angle? According to authoritative sources, Kurt Angle’s net worth is estimated to be over $30 million as of late 2017, the main source of his wealth coming from his involvement in professional wrestling.

Kurt Angle was extremely passionate about wrestling from his childhood, and began attending amateur wrestling lessons when he was seven years old. Angle really advanced his amateur wrestling career in college, enrolling at Clarion University of Pennsylvania, and graduating with a degree in education in 1993. He won the National Collegiate Athletic Association(NCAA) championship twice. In 1996, Kurt Angle took part in the Olympic Games in Atlanta, and even though he suffered  various injuries, he managed to win the gold medal in the heavyweight division.

Kurt’s prospects for a professional career were very good, but he initially turned down a deal with the World Wrestling Federation(WWF)  but was subsequently convinced to attend the Extreme Championship Wrestling as a guest commentator. Kurt Angle eventually began his professional wrestling career in 1998, when he signed a contract with WWF. Originally portrayed as a “good guy”, Kurt Angle took a twist on his ring personality and turned himself into an arrogant villain who was strongly hated by the audience. This, however, did not prevent him from winning both European Championship as well as an Intercontinental Championship in 2000. Later that year, Angle competed against the famous wrestler The Rock and secured himself a win for the WWF Championship title. Kurt Angle was the first wrestler to hold the Olympic Gold medal, as well as the WWF title at the same time. This historic moment could be considered a peak in Angle’s long wrestling career, and certainly boosted his net worth.

Kurt Angle once again proved himself in 2002 by winning the WWE Grand Slam Championship. Throughout his wrestling career in the WWF/E, Kurt has now been a world champion six times, Intercontinental, as well as European champion, and a WWE Tag Team champion.

When he moved to Total Non-stop Action Wrestling (TNA), Angle continued his successful winning streak by securing the TNA World Heavyweight title, as well as the TNA World Tag Team Championship title. Besides TNA and WWF/E, Kurt has been taking part in the New Japan Pro Wrestling league, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, and desired to appear in the mixed martial arts sport (MMA) but failed the health requirements, which perhaps prompted at least a partial retirement.

Often referred to as “The Wrestling Machine” and “The Cyborg”, Kurt Angle has been working as an Executive Director of Wrestling Operations in the TNA league since 2014.

Although mostly known as a professional wrestler, Kurt has been making appearances on television screens as well. Angle’s acting career includes such movies as “End Game”, the horror film “River of Darkness” in which he co-stars with fellow wrestler Kevin Nash, Gavin O’Connor’s “Warrior”, and a 2014 movie portraying a security guard and entitled “Not Cool”. Kurt Angle has also appeared in several television series, including “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and “The Big Breakfast”, all adding to his net worth.

In his personal life, Kurt Angle was married to Karen Jarrett (1998–2008), and since 2012 has been married to Giovanna Yannotti. Angle is a Christian, and is still based in Pittsburgh.

Kurt Steven Angle Quotes

• The hard part for me was being an Olympic gold medalist and having that persona; you don’t see too many Olympic gold medalists go into acting. It’s actually even more difficult. You’re not taken very seriously, and you’re looked at in a different light, so it was kind of hard for me to go straight from Olympics into acting.
• You’ve got to stay in pretty good shape to be a pro wrestler, and all the TNA wrestlers get a bit nervous when I wrestle them because they’re afraid I’ll tire them out, but the Olympics is a whole different level.
• Believe it or not, I kind of went into professional wrestling so I could get an avenue into acting.
• We take pride in making our Knockouts Division about wrestling, not about looking pretty.
• My true love is with amateur wrestling;, that’s where I was born. I’ve always wanted to wrestle.
• You do not boo an Olympic Gold Medalist. I’m the best in the world. I came here for you. You don’t boo me.
• I teased Randy Orton because he started using my finish, the Angle Slam. I said, ‘Hey, I don’t mind you using it, but at least give it a name.’ When he hits it, the announcers just say, ‘Well, he just hit that… thing.’
• I’ve been chastised for going into mixed martial arts and backing out. But the reason I backed out was the terms – they wanted me ready to fight in four weeks, but you’ve got to be out of your mind. So I decided to go back to my roots, back to wrestling.
• Pro wrestling was there, and I was good at it, thank God. I started getting a lot of offers, but unfortunately, at WWE I was under a tight leash. I think it had a lot to do with The Rock making the transition, and me possibly being the next guy – you know, the company didn’t want to lose another top performer.
• When Jack Swagger copies my Ankle Lock and Randy Orton does my Angle Slam, it’s disrespectful. I didn’t come up with the Ankle Lock; Ken Shamrock came up with the Ankle Lock, but I waited until he retired to do the Ankle Lock.
• I love doing funny promos like the ones I did wrestling Rey Mysterio.
• Wrestling is such a competitive sport worldwide.
• Join me in Olympic Heroes for Abstinence. The best sex is no sex.
• Wrestlers in the U.S.A. are very aggressive. All they want to do is attack, but they’ll make mistakes.
• I’m not going to be a guy that retires and keeps coming back. When I’m gone, I’m gone. Same thing as amateur wrestling; when I won the world championships in Olympics, I left and I never went back. Same for pro.
• I love Vince McMahon. He came up with the Kurt Angle character. He ran with it, and then I was able to run with it. I thank him for the opportunity he gave me. Vince McMahon was one of my best friends, period.
• Amateur wrestling, you can go by instinct. Pro wrestling, you have to memorize, and you have to go by what moves you said you were going to do. Sometimes you have to feel the crowd and do the moves at the right time and know the timing and tell a good story.
• There are so many things that have evolved since I wrestled. They don’t have periods anymore. They have rounds… it confuses the younger demographic.
• I really have been trying to get in movies with smaller parts, just to get myself in there and get more practice, and not have to take the big lead. In ‘Dylan Dog’ I was one of the co-stars, and I had a pretty good part in that movie.
• The Olympics is not really about the sport, it’s about the story behind the person. You keep the sport relatively simple to understand – let the fans understand that a takedown is 1 point, a turn is 2, a pin and the match is over. Keep it simple, and keep the story on the individual.
• There are many young Americans that are very distant from our political process.
• I’m in professional wrestling, which is what I do for a living. I coordinate stunts. I memorize them.
• It took me a few years to explain to my colleagues and my mentors and the people that I looked up to and I wrestled that I’m not in wrestling anymore. I’m in sports entertainment. Pro’ wrestling doesn’t mean that we’re saying we’re a step up above amateur wrestling, because there’s nothing above Olympic wrestling.
• The cool thing about pro wrestling is we do a lot more acting as far as characters in general than MMA. I know a lot of people like the MMA fighters because they like the rugged look.
• I don’t like to have gimmicks. I don’t like to have gadgets and stuff. I just like to go out there and entertain the fans by wrestling.
• You go from Olympic wrestling into pro wrestling, and it’s a very difficult transition, but if you make it, you can earn a great living while at the same time giving amateur wrestling a lot of exposure by being on TV every week. Fans know where you came from.
• Pro wrestling is not fake; it’s sports entertainment. We go out there and we perform, and a lot of what we do out there is real, but we’re not going to insult anyone’s intelligence – there is a predetermined winner. It’s just the fans don’t know who it is, and that’s what makes it so intriguing.
• In Canada, you can’t even have a barbecue in your backyard without being attacked by a moose or even a grizzly bear. Then again, the grizzlies don’t beat anyone here in Vancouver; oh, it’s true, it’s true.
• (while in Vancouver) “In Canada, you can’t even have a barbecue in your backyard without being attacked by a moose or even a grizzly bar. Then again the Grizzlies don’t beat anyone here in Vancouver, oh it’s true, it’s true.”
• (To Kane): “You say you’re the Big Red Machine? Well I’m the Big Red, White and Blue Machine!”

After a few failed jobs, including an unsuccessful sports commentating gig at a local television station, Angle decided to pursue professional wrestling and said he not only found it incredibly challenging but also gained a new respect for the industry and its participants.
