Kurt Angle, man, what a beast! That dude is an Olympic gold medalist and a fantastic wrestler. But, like in most physically extreme sports, he's also suffered quite a bit. His neck's been through the wringer, it's so huge it's like the size of my own waist. But you can see how the injuries have affected him. Both of his arms appear tiny in comparison due to the atrophy.

He is one tough son of a gun though, always keeps his cool and is constantly moving his body - that's one of the things that's helped him come out of his career better than most. He's always exercising, always stretching. The guy's mantra is "length of strength". It's the same on-set too, he's always moving, always ready.

And his mental fortitude is something else. I remember this one time, he was in an altercation, trying to defuse the situation rather than escalate it. He knew he could hurt the guy, but he was more concerned about the guy's family, not wanting to ruin him. That's the kind of guy Kurt Angle is - a tough, disciplined athlete with a heart of gold.
