Matching 30 WWE superstars with 30 Marvel and DC superheroes
By Mark Lynch
26. Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle began his wrestling career boasting about his Olympic Gold Medals (that he actually won in the 1996 Olympics) and his three I’s (intensity, integrity, and intelligence). Needless to say, this didn’t go over well with the fans. Mission completed.
Kurt Angle talked so much smack and then dominated in the ring for the rest of his career. He’s made Stone Cold, Kane, and a ton of other legends tap to his Angle Lock. He may be the complete package. There aren’t many people who can out-wrestle him (if any) and his ability to be entertaining is top-notch.
Taskmaster
Thought this was going to be Captain America didn’t you? Nope. Steve Rogers doesn’t talk enough trash, making Taskmaster an easy choice.
Both Taskmaster and Kurt Angle are among the most skilled in their field. Kurt Angle has something in common with Taskmaster as well. It looks like Angle can do anything he sees. Just because he was an Olympic gold medalist doesn’t mean that he would be good in the WWE. Nonetheless, he was. He saw the greats cut promos, moonsault off the top ropes, and perform in the ring and may have been better than them. Plus, Angle isn’t above running away. Neither is Taskmaster.
