Angle fighting with a brace that big probably meant he had a serious injury. Maybe a tear. This guy is literally tough as nails
Frank Zavala humans age lol
Mans won Olympic gold with a broken neck, there has to be something to be said about his toughness there
Oh its true... its damn true!
Yeah in his autobiography he blew out his knee during wrestling practice
Honestly I watch this and I’m so mad mma is such a new sport Kurt angle could’ve been great
RIP Jon. Lost his battle to dementia Oct. 2022.
That's young for dementia. Sad here
damn :(
2:37 didnt knw jim cornette was angle's manager 😂
That dude would destroy Cornette.
LOL
💀💀💀
Corny ready to jump in with his loaded rackett
That’s why he lost corny is a terrible manger
RIP Jon, legendary
Kurt Angle reminds me of the wrestling version of boxing’s Tommy Morrison
Except Tommy was a Schlub and Kurt is a legend. 🤦♂️😂
@M Williamson I know I know, it’s just the look and mannerisms.
@M Williamson he was a bad mofo! Nasty left hook… didn’t fight the toughest fights but still he was a champion and an explosive exciting puncher!
@M Williamson so you more of a Olympic and ncaa wrestling fan? Or are you like me that loves it all and ends up randomly going down a bunch of TH-cam rabbit holes lol
Perhaps comparable on raw potential from their respective strengths, but Kurt was much more dedicated to his craft. Tommy Morrison had one of the best left hooks, and arguably the best left hook, in boxing history and serious punching power with some solid boxing skills but he also had very lazy and inconsistent habits out of his love to party and a lack of stamina was a big issue for him. Still he is one of my favorite boxers to go back and watch his fights.
Llewellyn was a fierce competitor, quick and smart. I enjoyed getting to know him back then.
If it had been his neck that was injured he'd have won.
You mean if it had been his freakin neck
it was hard watching Kurt lose
That’s ok Kurt.. Little did everyone know 5 yrs later in ‘96 ud be the proud gold medal winner in the olympics and u ended up doing it with a broken fricken neck!!!! Lol
And more importantly WWE champion
@@W67w how the fuck is the wwe belt more important than a gold medal? especially for an athlete like kurt
@@lordenvincar
not gonna lie, there's plenty of olympic athletes that nobody cares about, gold medal or not.
the thing about kurt is that he's that olympic athlete you *do* care about precisely because he did so much beyond just being a regular sportsmen, so there's a double-edged sword were his gold is sort of a gimmick to advance greater endeavors.
@@lordenvincar TBH, pro wrestling gave him widespread popularity, which lead to him being successfully and that gave him financial security for life, even though it also gave him debilitating addiction to painkillers.
I'm sure United States is a much better place than most other countries for professional athletes, but in my country, there are some elite athletes who won several olympic medals and they now live in poverty, barely making ends meet. I respect the hard work athletes do and I enjoy watching real sports more than pro wrestling, but I can see how Kurt might put his pro wrestling career at a higher importance than his athletic career.
Jon is a great athlete and an even better man!!! Congratulations Jon! 👏👏👏
Dang that Kurt guy looks like Perc Angle. Same last name, too!
Ikr? fetus perc angle 😂
Freaking angle was getting slammed as far back as 1991? No wonder he could barley move anymore.
Kurt looks like that boxer tommy from the rocky movie!
Never knew Mike Joy commented wrestling
Kurt just got fired by WWE
TBtheking405216 why
Currently working as a backstage wwe producer.
Kurt wins so much so I’m shocked lol
He won a gold medal with a broke freaking neck
These dudes were total.units they dont make them like this to often anymore
What a match
@616 if you like watching wrestling so much, there’s a category on ph just for you, it’s called gay!!👌😏😝🤣👻
Pelham Rechtsanwalt I never understood the “wrestling is gay” stigma. I wrestled in high school and some of my football buddies would make jokes. The most difficult sport I’ve ever done and there’s nothing sexual about it. If you wrestle for that reason you may need help haha
Dan King glad you did homie hands down the best sport there is, funny part most football players turn out to be Gay or Bi and they hide it by joking man don’t trip shit like that happens
@@pelhamrechtsanwalt2416yet you're here, watching the video too.
@@pelhamrechtsanwalt2416 and a 57kg wrestler can ragdowl a footballer in a fight what about tha
Very complicated sport
Kurt angle would destroy anyone in the wwe
Bobby Lashley and Lesnar would beat him at this stage. Not in his prime though
@@hermonymusofsparta mma Brock would win against Kurt but 2002 Brock, as vicious as he is wouldn’t get the w over angle. I don’t really know about lashley though probably Kurt takes him down
@@hermonymusofspartaBrock lesnar actually challenged Kurt angle to a match backstage and got defeated wwe had covered it and Bobby lashley has a chance and undertaker who is a bjj black belt choked out Kurt angle in a fight in a plane
@@Thecowboy97Bobby Lashley was a Division 3 wrestler in college. Angle would have handled him.
@@combatspeed6392 yeah, angle was the way better wrestler. But Bobby actually trained and did mma in a fairly high level. Kurt wouldn't have handled him. It would be a tough fight for both of them
I always feel like amateur was more exciting Than scripted pro wresling
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
I wonder where Jon Llewellyn is now
He developed dementia about five or six years ago. I know there was a GoFundMe set up to help him and his family, but I never did hear anything after that
very late response but he passed away.
In India, We don't have this kind of Equipment..that headphone thing
And the winner is an absolute nobody... Kurt Angle is known worldwide
What's the point in disparaging him? Good for him, he won an NCAA title in a match with one of the greats. Who are you?
