The American Hero Kurt Angle is considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. With major feats in wrestling as well as professional wrestling, Angle has shaped himself to be one of the generational icons. But as of now, The Wrestling Machine has turned into Meme Machine with a unique template of his hilarious face. Kurt has spoken about the meme and displayed his Boomer age lacks the phenomenon.

While speaking on his The Kurt Angle Show, he stated that was the b*tt of the joke. He claims to not understand why the video has caught people’s attention. Although the weird-looking photo is the base of the meme, the video brings down the narrative for the audience. The Olympic Gold Medalist does not understand the dynamics of how people started throwing out memes at him.

The meme can be specified as a random person looking at the things in his surroundings with disbelief. Living in 2023, the startling face of Kurt makes him a forlorn person with no excitement. Angle joked about the fact that he would love to get paid to make facial expressions and merchandise them.

On his podcast, Angle mentioned that he felt honored to share the ring with Austin at that time. Steve’s aura made him hook onto the screen and inspired him to join Monday Night Raw and show the world what he is capable of.

Within a year in the company, he squared off against the Texas Rattlesnake while having a heel persona. Stone Cold was a massive babyface and saw multiple bouts in the coming years. Some of their matches have been rated 5 stars and elevated the level of wrestling in the early 2000s era.
