WWE legend Kurt Angle was offered $500,000 by the UFC to compete on TUF 10 with Kimbo Slice

Before carving out a career as a WWE Hall of Famer, pro wrestling legend Kurt Angle was one of the most successful amateur wrestlers in the history of the sport.

As a two-time NCAA Division I national champion, Kurt Angle was well on his way to becoming an Olympian. Not only did he accomplish that goal, but he also left the 1996 Games in Atlanta with a gold medal. It was a feat he had dreamed of accomplishing since childhood. However, the question of what comes next for an Olympic-level athlete is rarely an easy one.
