Would a prime Kurt Angle be MW or LHW Champion?

[HappyLizard7**]

He couldnt be stopped in his prime. Many did try and those who did, failed, it was just inevitable, like death, we are all going to die one day, no one lives forever.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

he had too many injuries to stay at the top

 

[PicoPulse]

Both

 

[chinarice]

He won a gold medal in the olympics with a broken frickin neck.

He wins whatever belt he wants.

 

[TheSpider]

Prime Angle with MMA training would have been a champion

He won championships with broken necks, what are you talking about?

 

[Axe720]

He had the wrestling background for sure, but if he would've made the jump right after his Olympic gold medal win, he'd have been in the "human cockfighting" era. Not a ton of prestige or money to be had there. By the time the Zuffa era was in effect, I'm pretty sure he had a lot of injuries already from pro wrestling.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Considering he won Olympic HW gold some weighing about 212 pounds I think he'd have been a MW

 

[Frankie Baby!]

He won championships with broken necks, what are you talking about?

Yes, but that was in his physical prime, if he had the same injuries he did in the WWE whilst fighting, he wouldnt last long

He wouldnt be fighting in the WWE he will be in UFC. What are you talking about?

In his athletic peak, I'm sure he could have transitioned to MMA. He was noted for his incredible work ethic and ability to learn and adapt very quickly.

Skill wise, he was above pretty much anyone that ever competed in MMA as a wrestler. Olympic gold medalist, World champion, beat pretty much everyone there was to beat. Apparently he had the better of Brock in a shoot wrestling match.

By the time he started pro wrestling, he became a mess physically, suffering more broken necks, along with other injuries. So pro wrestler Kurt probably never does too well in MMA, a fact he himself admitted. He was just too banged up and the injuries took their toll on his athleticism.

 

[TheMaster]

Could've been a champ at 185 and maybe 205 if he committed to it and before Jones came on the scene.

He was a wrestler with no submission training nor striking...like a poor man's Couture.

his wrestling was much better than Randys

 

[Street Bishop]

Injuries ruined him early on. He would've had a small window. Dude was taking 60 vicodin just to get through the day in wwe.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

He wouldnt be fighting in the WWE he will be in UFC. What are you talking about?

No I'm saying the injuries he had in the WWE, like his neck injuries wouldn't really let him be able to be an elite fighter for long

I dont know what youre talking about, just leave me alone. I want to be left alone.

 

[TheGrouch]

Only if triple h is injured

 

[Dan Torrance]

Probably
