Have you ever imagined cracking two bones in your back and four pulled muscles in your neck and still winning the Olympics? By the time you are done reading this biography you will know about Kurt Angle’s life.

Kurt’s life started out on Dec 9, 1968 growing up with five older siblings in Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania. In high school he played football and he wrestled. After the 1996 Summer Olympics, the Pittsburgh Steelers tried him out for the team but he didn’t make it. So the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) called him and gave him a job. After he signed a contract with the WWE he got married to Karen but he is always separated from her. Kurt got put in three Halls Of Fame: Heinz Museum, West Pa. and South Pa. Kurt is the only person in the WWE that won the WWE, the World Heavyweight, and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Kurt started wrestling in high school. He was so good that the Olympics team wanted him. But when he was wrestling he hurt his back and neck. He almost had to retire from wrestling. He wrestled better when he was hurt. Then he won the Olympics.

Kurt is an Olympic hero because he won the Olympics with a strained back and neck.

Kurt got more famous by winning the Olympics. People stated noticing him more. People asked him to try out for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the WWE. He was put into three Halls Of Fame in Pittsburgh. People throw parades for him.

Now you know about my hero Kurt Angle. When he wrestles his back and his neck hurt. I hope he will still wrestle. He made a decision to keep working out his back and neck.
