This isnt a knock on Kurt Angle, but im posting it because I found it interesting, and under the circumstances of this whole post at the moment, it seemed like the best place to put it.
Its basically Kurt in a interview talking about how much Amateur wrestling has changed since he started, how all the techniques have changed and how he felt like he was out of shape and like a dinosaur? But was able to still bust some moves with these guys. Im still on the hope that Kurt will still try and re-enter the Olympics. I doubt he would win but it would be cool to see him training for it.
Because you know the WWE would blatently film it all and then put it on his next DVD.
Q3: What was your workout like with the wrestlers?
KURT ANGLE: It was good. You know I'm in no shape to be out there competing against these high-caliber Olympians. It was fun to go out there after six years of being laid off, not wrestling at all, it was fun just to get in there and roll around with the Olympic athletes. It's amazing how much further they've progressed with their technique. It's completely changed since I was there. It continuously evolves. I can remember when I first started in freestyle in 1988 to eight years later in 1996, the whole technique evolved and changed. It's changed even more now. You feel like almost like a fossil … a dinosaur … you go in there, you're doing these old techniques and they're like, "What the hell are you doing?" When you are away from it for a long time and these other athletes are changing with the times, if you bring these old techniques in sometimes it becomes highly impactful because their not use to defending a technique like that, because they've never seen it. So I was able to get my little share of offensive moves in because of that, so it was fun and it was also fun to learn new techniques.
