WWE Hall of Famer and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle would have jumped at the chance to test his skills inside the Octagon had it not been for a contract with TNA.
Angle, who won a freestyle wrestling gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics, revealed during an appearance on The True Geordie Show that the UFC had contacted him in the late 90s after his victory in Atlanta. However, with the promotion still in the developmental stages, they were unable to offer a deal worthy of his time and talent.
