Video: Funny or Die! Olympic Trials with Kurt Angle

Kurt Angle knows a thing or two about Olympic success. I mean, he did win gold at the 1996 games with a broken freakin’ neck. Still, 1996 was a long time ago and Kurt’s been on a turbulent ride to say the least these last few years. However through all this the one constant’s been his professional performance

Displaying some great self-deprecating humor involving his failed bid to make the USA wrestling squad for this year’s Games, Kurt shows that his athletic prowess isn’t limited to just tossing around guys in spandex. With some motivation from fellow professional wrestler and marijuana-enthusiast Rob Van Dam, Angle proceeds to try out for several other Olympic teams and hilarity ensues.

Angle’s always displayed technical mastery, but he really broke through to the next level with his charisma and comedic timing. This recent skit proves that yes, he’s still got it.

Enjoy, Combatants.
