How good could he have been at his best? The wrestlers used to do shoot matches and apparently Lesnar used to manhandle everybody, including Big Show... Then Angle got in with Lesnar, Lesnar said 'oh ****' and got taken down multiple times. None of them could touch Angle. Could he have been a UFC champion?
Maybe Angle's striking ability would let him down. He seems to have more of the classic wrestler's proportions. :think BTW the most talented superheavyweight wrestler from America in the modern era was two times Super-heavyweight gold medalist Bruce Baumgartner. This content is protected In his bio Angle said that he trained with him and basically was getting pinned all the time. Kurt considered it a personal triumph the few times he could take Bruce down.
