The hat that launched a thousand memes
- Considering his gimmick in WWE was that of a Boorish Eagleland Large Ham, it's pretty damn amusing to see him in the movie Warrior as a silent Fake Russian.
- His five-second poses with Edge and Christian in 2000, his skits with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Vince McMahon in 2001 (during the controversial InVasion arc).
- Three words: Tiny Cowboy Hat
. Yippie-ki-yay indeed. (See sidepic) - One word less: "Sexy Kurt". To put in context: he was en route to his match with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 21, and has just subjected Shawn's former Rockers partner Marty Janetty to a vicious Curb-Stomp Battle the week before. Continuing his streak of humiliating Shawn, Angle came out wearing his rival's signature chaps (accompanied with matching stage pyrotechnics) and, alongside a returning Sensational Sherri, proceeded to rip off Shawn's "Sexy Boy".
- The segment was so hilarious that WWE itself acknowledged it as the funniest moment in Angle's career.
- With added Freeze-Frame Bonus: Angle briefly Eating the Eye Candy as Sherri was singing her part of the chorus.
- And he even sings the damn thing during his induction to the 2017 Hall of Fame. Moreso with Shawn himself watching it with a grin on his face.
- The segment was so hilarious that WWE itself acknowledged it as the funniest moment in Angle's career.
- To quote Jim Ross, "MILK-O-MANIA IS RUNNING WILD!"
- "Go get them jugs, Kurt!"
- Earlier than that, he goes ahead and borrows The Rock's "Strudel" term, boasting about his "Olympic Strudel", referring to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as "one giant Strudel", and later mocking Shane McMahon as a guy who "doesn't even have a Strudel."
- "You're a boy...in a man's world. And I'm a man who loves to play with boys. No, no, no wait a minute!!""
- "Rey Mysterio, what I meant to say, is you're a boy, and I'm a man! And tonight I'm gonna love to manhandle you! No, wait!!"
- "You're a boy and I'm a man! And tonight when we get together here tonight, I'm going to get on top of you and... No, wait!"
- Tag team partners don't shake hands! Tag team partners...gotta hug!.
- Kurt Angle isn't a fan of... the black people.
- And if he would ever go back in time, the one person he would make tap out would be...Jesus.
- What, no love for the birth of the "You Suck" chants?
- Even better since he reacted to this as expected during his Heel runs... but fully embraced them when he was a Face, even asking for the crowd to do it!Kurt Angle:"You wanna know what the difference is between me and you? I EARNED those 'You Suck's!"
- On one Raw in 2005, Kurt began getting angry at the chanting and twice attempted to redo his entrance, only for the fans to continue to chant. Eventually, the problem was solved by censoring out the crowd, thanks to then-Raw General Manager, Eric Bischoff. The week after Bischoff was fired from his position as General Manager, the fan censorship clause was lifted.
- Even better since he reacted to this as expected during his Heel runs... but fully embraced them when he was a Face, even asking for the crowd to do it!
- After defeating Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania:
- Kurt Angle: I was arrested Sunday night. I was arrested on charges of armed robbery. I was arrested for stealing the show!
- The first episode of SmackDown after John Cena won his first WWE Championship, we got this:
- Trying to out-"WOOO!" Ric Flair.
- Kurt Angle's battle rap with John Cena. His initial reply was both this and a Moment of Awesome.Wow John, I didn't think it was possible but I think I finally found someone in the company who's whiter than I am.
- And then Kurt Angle stole Cena's hat, put it on, and cut a surprisingly good (and hiliarious) rap promo.
My name is Kurt Angle and what the heck
I won a gold medal on a broken freakin' neck! - "Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care, Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, I got Olympic gold!"
- His interview with The Rock
- "Triple H tore his quad? Big deal! I tear my quad all the time! I tore my quad this morning! I’m here. I’m jumpin’ around!"
- And even before all this, he was featured in the commercial for SmackDown 2: Know Your Role, basically playing himself in the most over the top way possible.
- Edge beating him up and shaving his head at Judgment Day 2002, and getting the audience to chant, "You're bald!"
- Kurt Angle tries out for the 2012 Olympics. Unfortunately, not for wrestling.
- Any time he put his straps back up JUST SO HE COULD TAKE THEM DOWN AGAIN.
- This promo with Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle. The premise itself is funny, but what truly seals the deal is the genuine chemistry between the two and the great time they're both clearly having. From the way Brock nibbles a cracker, to Brock corpsing when Kurt spits out his milk, to Kurt's "Why I outta..." reaction to getting hit with Brock's shirt, to the (seemingly ad-libbed) short joke right after...it's all one heck of a laugh.
- As Enzo and Cass had their first segment with newly appointed Raw General Manager Kurt Angle and did their usual shtick of spelling out the word "SAWFT" , Kurt reacted in vintage fashion.
- Kurt Angle: That's not how you spell "soft".
- TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs 2017: The main event was originally booked to be a 5 on 3 match between the team of The Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus, Braun Strowman and Kane against the newly reunited Shield. However, Roman Reigns was sidelined two days before the PPV by a meningitis infection, causing Angle to insert himself into the match as Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins' replacement partner. As the two Shield members made their entrance through the arena stands, Angle quickly joined them wearing the stable's trademark SWAT gear and sporting the dopiest grin imaginable◊. The reaction from Ambrose and Rollins makes the scene look like, depending on who you ask, a couple of siblings being escorted by their embarrassingly Bumbling Dad on the way to the school dance, or a father who's very proud of his two boys.
- His reaction after witnessing the "Ultimate Deletion" preview promo between Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt:Ángle: I knew Bray was crazy... But what the heck happened to Matt?
- When Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn ask for a position in RAW, Kurt fires back with this gem:Okay, well, um, my tag team division's full. But I hear that TNA is hiring.
- Helped by the crowd's loud reaction and Sami struggling not to laugh. As well as this being one of the only times that TNA has been mentioned on WWE programming.
- In 2005, on his first night on Raw after being drafted, Kurt says he has a thing for other people's wives, and remembers when he made out with Stephanie, Triple H's wife. After that comment, and before Hunter said everybody made out with his wife so Kurt doesn't really have a point, Hunter almost wanted to laugh.
- On a 2001 episode of Smackdown before the Judgment Day PPV, after hitting the Angle Slam on Chris Benoit, instead of going for the pin, Angle reached into Benoit's tights to reclaim his medals that Benoit stole from him and kissed them, forgetting for a moment that he pulled them out from Benoit's tights. Angle's celebration was short lived, as Benoit then applied the Crippler Crossface on Angle, who's still holding on the medals. Angle had no choice but to drop the medals and tap out, and Benoit takes the medals once again.
- During the 30th Anniversary of WWE Raw, Angle becomes the Special Guest Tagalong Kid to D-Generation X*. Hilarity Ensues.
