Kurt Angle is one of the most historic WWE superstars of all time. He's a
former two-time NCAA All American. He's a grand-slam champion in both
TNA and WWE, not to mention holding the WWE heavyweight championship on 4
separate occasions.
He was the 2000 King of the Ring winner and even voted #1 Wrestler of
the Year in the 2001 PWI 500. And to top it all of - he's the only
Olympic gold medalist in WWE history. This legend is truly one of the
best of all time, and this DVD set proves it.
The
first disc of this set covers the first 18 months of Kurt's WWE career
and really reminds you of just how good he has been from the very start.
From his debut at Survivor Series 1999 against Shawn Stasiak to winning
the European Championship from Val Venus
just 3 months later and then defeating Chris Jericho for the
Intercontinental Championship at No Way Out 2000 and unifying both
titles. His beginning in WWE is second to no one. His KOTR victory over
Rikishi is also on here and reminds you just how good a
match this was. Then comes his first WWE championship victory over The
Rock at No Mercy 2000 and successful defences against Undertaker and
Triple H. The first disc ends with the amazing match against Shane
McMahon at KOTR 2001. One of the most entertaining
matches from around that time and definitely helped show just how tough
Shane-o-Mac is.

The second disc has more great matches against the
likes of Stone Cold in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Edge, the WWE debuts
of John Cena and Rey Mysterio; and even a hidden
gem against Hulk Hogan from KOTR 2002. Watching this DVD helps show
just how good Kurt is at changing his style against opponents with such
unique styles over the years. But, this disc ends with a fantastic match
between Kurt and Brock Lesnar at Summerslam
2003 in a rematch from their Wrestlemania 19 classic. This, once again,
was an instant classic. The third and final discs has another match
against John Cena, also showing the classic footage of the infamous
battle rap between the pair. It also shows a match
between he and Eddie from Summerslam 2004 which is good, however I
would've much rather preferred this to be their match from WrestleMania
20 earlier in the year. Then, we get the match which was match of the
year 2005 in PWI against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania
21. This match is nothing short of phenomenal, just like their Iron Man
rematch which follows. We are then treated to a fantastic triple threat
match involving the pair and John Cena. All 3 men were at the top of
their game here.

The final match on this disc
is an entertaining bout for the ECW Title against Rob Van Dam. But the
true ending on this set is how Kurt Angle has finally came home to the
WWE after 11 years. He is a different man to the one who left back in
the Summer of 2006. He's overcome his demons,
started a beautiful new family and is now the best man he can possibly
be. Inside the ring, he lived a legendary career and will go down as one
of the best of all time. And it's fantastic to see Kurt back on our
screens again each week as the General Manager
of RAW. But it's outside the ring that means most to Kurt. These days
he lives his life the way he lived his Wrestling career - with the 3
I's: Intensity, intelligence and integrity. He truly is an Olympic hero,
inside and outside of the ring; and this DVD
set truly shows it. It's true, it's DAMN true!!!
