Old old news I remember when Dana offered him a lot of money but Vince stole him and many thought Vince had blackmail on Kurt. Whatever... Vince is a master of dirty tricks.

Nah, it was just pro wrestling offered more money. Dana wasn’t even around yet when Nagle went to WWE

he was way too broken down by then.
Fighting in Pride back in 1998 would work if his opponents was Akira Shoji and Alexander Otsuka to start with.

TUF season ten was in 2009, 11 years after he made his WWE debut, and he would have been 41, way too old to make the conversion, not to mention way too many injuries later.

Angle would have tapped Chuck/Tito/Vitor/Wand/Rampage
I feel like he’d be 185/205

Angle got tapped out by some nobody in the WWE during a real confrontation. Being good at wrestling doesn't make you good submissions.

He was 41 and in TNA at the time I believe. Even if he for some reason (brain damage) decided to take that offer he would've just embarrassed himself while taking unnecessary punishment.

LOL is it the wrestling that makes you think that? IMO he would not be. I'd have to see him throw and actual punch back in the back before I'd give a real opinion, because thats what matters.

You guys should watch the documentary Angle to see what an animal he was in amateur wrestling. With those wrestling skills, the discipline and athleticism yes, he could have been great. He was wrestling at HW, wrestling guys like Kerr and Coleman being outweighed by alot, still winning more over them than losing. Kerr said he was incredibly fast, even though most had a strength advantage over him he still beat them, it got him a olympic gold medal in the end. So him at LHW in his prime, what a nightmare.
Stand up skills, you never know with wrestlers but I think he could have learned submissions fairly easy, he was smart, determined and athletic.
