How is Kurt Angle a 13 Time World Champion?

I keep hearing this over and over again but I don't see how.. he held 7 WWE recognized world belts, two TNA world belts, and an IWGP (if you wanna count that). So that's ten. One is questionable. How is he a 13 time world champion?

Does the gold medals he won in the 1996 Olympics count?

Re: How is Kurt Angle a 13 Time World Champion?

I was just gona say the two gold metals haha.

But honestly someone should come up with a poll to see which one should be considered real world titles.

That honestly depends on who is recognizing the World Titles. Most people go by PWI's recognized belts, but companies choose whether or not to recognize the titles as World Champions. For example, TNA recognized WWE's World Title, but WWE doesn't recognize theirs.

Anyways, I was pondering this myself the other day. As soon as Sting said it I was first like "Wow, it just seemed like yesterday when it was 2004 angle was only a 4 tme WWE Champion....wait...how can he have held a belt that many times since then?"

WCW World Champion is 1, World Champion makes 2, WWE Championx4 makes 6, IWGP Champion makes 7, and then TNA Championx2 makes 9 and if you count the one that TNA doesn't recognize because of the NWA Take Reclimation complication.

He also was a PPW Champion (I don't know, either?) and then if you want to count his gold medals or his amature accomplishments like NCAA winnings. I don't know. It's definitely disputed.

Re: How is Kurt Angle a 13 Time World Champion?

Simple answer is he's not a 13 time champion. He's a 12 time champion like advertised.

4 x WWE
1 x World
1 x WCW (Although it was a WWE belt by then)
2 x TNA
1 x NWA
1 x IWGP
1 x Summer Olympics
1 x Freestyle Olympics

Thats 12. His next title reign will make it 13. PPW isnt a world title, its a Heavyweight title.

I always wondered this myself. I was never able to figure it out either.

Re: How is Kurt Angle a 13 Time World Champion?

That's a suspect list at best God.

Olympics should have NOTHING to do with pro wrestling. It's apples and oranges.

So if Michael Phelps decides to become a WWE wrestler, will he walk in with more title reigns than HHH?

Just dumb.

So does this mean if and when Christian wins the ECW title the WWE will say its his first major title?

Olympic wins are the only true world titles since you have to literally beat people from all over the world to win one. By all over the world i dont mean America, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Japan.

Wrestling isnt the same as Wrestling?

Talk about apples and oranges. Angle's medals came in wrestling, Phelps didnt.

Do they even count ECW as a major title?
