Kurt Steven Angle (born in December 9, 1968 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), is an American 1996 Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling and now a professional wrestler performing for World Wrestling Entertainment on its RAW brand. Among his trademarks is the audience--whether he is face or heel--chanting "you suck!" in tune with his entrance music

On October 26, 1996 Angle was convinced to attend the taping of an ECW event named High Incident by Shane Douglas. Angle provided guest commentary during a match between Taz and Little Guido, but walked out of the building after the infamous "crucifixion storyline" (where Raven attached The Sandman to a cross using barbed wire). Angle was shocked by the controversial imagery and feared that his career prospects would be damaged if he was associated with the incident, so threatened to sue ECW owner Paul Heyman if he was shown on TV in the same broadcast as the stunt
Personal life
Angle recently separated from his wife Karen (as of August 2005). He noted that the strain of being on the road took it's toll on their marriage. He has a young daughter Kyra. Angle has four older brothers, including Eric, also a wrestler, and one late sister, the latter of whom died due to heart complications, a problem for several Angle family members. His father was killed in a construction accident, and Angle dedicated his autobiography, "It's True, It's True" to him as a result.
Angle has a tattoo of a blue turkey on his upper back. [Note by PSP: one of our surfers (Neil) makes the correction that the "turkey" is really the Clarion University Golden Eagle.]
