 What's good, George, but Ross back again with another video. So I'm going to check out 10 times. Kurt Angle went full perg angle. This should be a very interesting one by Coach the Holic wrestling. We all know about the infamous Perk angle. My man was taking damn near 70 pills a day just to deal with the pain, but it didn't matter because my man was just all over the place. I mean, he was just throwing caution to the wind when it came to him wrestling. So we're going to check out some of the moments where he literally went full Perk angle. Appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel. Let's get right into this one. Professional wrestlers of all time. A member of many halls of fame. Angle's accomplishments speak for themselves and he deserves the utmost respect for his contributions to the sport. But let's face it. The man has also become something of a meme in recent years. Some sections of the internet wrestling community celebrate not just Kurt's title triumphs and epic matches, but also the times where he became Perk Angle. Oh, I'm getting to the particulars, if you know, you know. But in this instance, we're using the term Perk to describe those moments where Kurt seemingly found a whole other level of intensity or insanity from which to operate on. Ladies and gentlemen, the bean is well and truly about to kick in. I'm Adam Pachisi from Cultartic Wrestling and these are 10 times Kurt Angle went full Perk. Yeah! Number 10, Trying to Break the Rock's F***ing Angle. A No Way Out 2000, Kurt Angle beat Chris Jericho to add the intercontinental title to the European Championship he had been in possession of for the past couple of weeks. A year later, Angle, who had been on the WWE roster for less than 18 months, was walking into No Way Out as the defending WWE champion, putting his title on the line against the Rock in the show's headliner. It got on quickly, didn't it? The baby view poster boy had been freakishly good from the start, but at this stage, he had really ramped up one of his famed three eyes, intensity. And he had to be at his very best against the great one, the two putting on a tremendous back and forth battle. Digging deep into his arsenal, Angle busted out what would be one of his favoured weapons going forward, the ankle lock. Debuting his new finisher, clearly excited the Olympian who shouted at the top of his lungs spit flying from his mouth, tap out you son of a bitch, do it now. I'll break your, well, you know what, foot. I, for one, believe him. Number nine, trying to get booed. Oh man. Ah. When he, it's just funny how you seen the glimpses of that intensity early on and it just, he became nothing but intensity. I love it. The transition of his character. Who'd at New Year's Revolution? After several years of spellbinding in ring performances and memorable moments, fans found it hard to hate Kurt Angle. He'd given so much for their entertainment and had genuinely been one of the best wrestlers in the world for a while by that point. So it was hard not to applaud and cheer him on even if just out of respect. Drawing attention to his own unwavering popularity while ostensibly portraying a heel at New Year's Revolution 2006, Kurt delivered a completely OTT backstage promo. Flipped by manager DeVary, the man who had proudly represented his country said that he hoped the USA lost the war in Iraq. In addition, he felt as though the greatest country in the world was actually France. Wee-wee. Continuing, he admitted that he wasn't a very big fan of the black people complete with air quotes. I was just like, oh, they're trying so hard to make us hate him, bro. And it worked a little bit for me. It's like, what you mean by the blacks? Hold on, Kurt, I don't give a fuck about your damn peel addiction. I'll give you an addiction, all right? Ha-ha-ha. During his point home, he professed the one historical figure he would love to make tap out was Jesus Christ himself. It was all said with a heavy coating of sarcasm and Angle was naturally still cheered when he entered the Elimination Chamber and began wrecking people later that night. Number eight, tranquilizing the big show. Kurt Angle had- This shit. This thing, it was wild, bro. He was in some wild storylines. Every right to be mad at the big show in 2004, the world's largest athletes had, lest we forget, went on a rampage and chokes slammed our Olympic hero from a high ledge down to a concrete floor. That ain't- Everybody tried to kill him, bro. April, putting him in a wheelchair which was storyline cover to allow Angle to recover from yet another neck operation. Show disappeared for a while to have surgery of his own, but came back in September and went after the now former SmackDown general manager. Angle realized the threat the big nasty bastard carried and did the logical thing we would all do if we were being pursued by a pissed-off giant. He shot him with a tranquilizer gun that shaved his hair off. Yes, with the help of Mark Jindrak and Luther Reigns, Angle went all King Kong on Paul Y. He shot him with a dart before giving him a shot back in sight. It was a memorable angle, no pun intended, and Kurt looked like he was having the time of his life posing over his prey while smiling like a perked up big game hunter. No seven, sexy Kurt. One of the more frightening things about our old pal, Perkiles, was his ability to go from playing the clown and taking the mick out of himself one minute to looking like a straight up dangerous psychopath the next. Enduring yet terrifying, Kurt was a debt to flipping the switch and getting serious when the situation called for it. One of Angle's most famous WWE segments was his rendition of Sexy Kurt, his own braggadocious team, theme song for WrestleMania opponent, Sean Michaels. I think I'm cute, I got gold medals, I got the moves to make them all tap out the Angle Slam. The Angle Lock, Marty Janetti, still can't walk, I'm just a sexy Kurt, sexy Kurt. You know where I go, it was genuinely hilarious and he was clearly enjoying every second of it. However, once the heartbreak kid cosplay was done with, Kurt flipped the switch and attacked Sean's former flame sensational Sherry Martel, trapping her in the Angle Lock as she wailed in agony. Serves you right to be honest, Sherry. Bro, that's what made it so entertaining. He could be goofy, but when he got serious, it was terrifying. You should have known better than to trust a bald man in chaps. Number six, Kurt walks around backstage in his underwear beating people up. It's exactly what it says it is, all right? A show long storyline on the July 19th, 2007 edition of TNA Impact concerned Kurt Angle's efforts to get his stolen possessions back. The Olympian had his clothes, bag and title belts all nicked while he was tanning and proceeded to walk around backstage wearing only a red speedo and matching flip flops at the Universal Studios soundstage demanding that they be returned. Along the way, he accused Jeremy Borash of staring at his package and beat up Sharkboy who he was smiling about his fate despite it just being his master's design as well as a backstage production worker who he hit with a running axe handle of a table. It was ludicrous, wonderful entertainment. It all led to a scene where Angle came down to the ring in his bathrobe, was confronted by Samoa Joe and after countering Joe's attempt to lay him out ended up putting the Samoa in submission machine through a table and slapping on the ankle lock. All this in his bright red speedo. Talk about sexy Kurt. Number five, the Summer Salt stage dive. As a world-class amateur wrestler, Kurt Angle unsurprisingly adopted a pro wrestling style that was heavy on submissions, takedowns and suplexes. But just because the gold medalist could tie you up in knots or throw you halfway across the ring doesn't mean he was necessarily averse to taking to the skies. Never was this more apparent than during his false count anywhere battle with a diss at TNA turning point 2008. With the monster recovering on the arena floor, Angle found this incumbent upon himself to do a running front flip onto him off the stage. Now this would be a risky move for your average ex-division daredevil but for a man with a notoriously dodgy neck. Don't get me wrong, it was a beautifully executed move but if Kurt didn't have a 300 pound human crash pad or was even a fraction of a second off, things could have gone very badly. Bro, he prime perk angle right here. Anytime I think of perk angle, I think of this wild ass cup. He just said, fuck it. That's literally what it was. I feel like it's also worth mentioning that this was the same match that Angle put a chair onto a bis and delivered an inch perfect moonsault just because he was, you know, mental. Number four, the Raw Cage moonsault. Speaking of moonsault, one of our man's special tricks was doing a big backflip off the top of a steel cage. Angle could arch with the best of them though due to his inexperience, he wasn't so confident when it came to actually hitting the move. In fact, much less so after accidentally breaking Bob Holly's arm. While he may not have been too hot on actually landing on a specific target, he was more than willing to take a belly flop for the team even if it was coming from a great height. On the June 11th, 2001 edition of Monday Night Raw, Kurt and Chris Benoit were given a rare main event singles outing when they were booked in a steel cage grudge match. As Angle tells it, both he and the rabid Wolverine made an extra effort to impress WWE Champion Steve Austin who provided commentary from Ringside. What they actually ended up doing was scaring the Texas rattlesnake off with Kurt's insane empty pool bump taking not only the wind out of his own sails but the breath out of every fan watching on and all. Number three, the lockdown cage. The way he bounced on them. Oh my God, bro. I want you to understand that ring. Don't it's no guilt, bro. This is why we love Kurt, bro. Dude destroyed his body to entertain us. It's not much to say. Moonsaults. Of course, a spot like a moonsault off the top of a freaking cage isn't something you do just the one time, is it? Not if you perk Angle, anyway. Almost a decade after he went splat on Raw, Angle resurrected the high spot for his brutal and compelling cage contest with Mr. Anderson at TNA Lockdown 2010. Their feud had been incredibly personal up to that point and both men pulled out all the stops to deliver a classic. And amazingly, Kurt actually hit the move on this occasion. It was flawless and as much credit as Angle deserves for pulling it off, Anderson deserves as much for willingly lying there and putting his life or his face anyway in his opponent's free falling hands. Anderson has since said that not only did Kurt barely touch him but that TNA producers had no idea the move was coming. Angle suspected they wouldn't let him if he told them ahead of time. So he informed Ken on the sly and agreed to take the heats when he got backstage. Number two, his pathological pursuit. The fact that he said, you know what, we're not gonna tell them because they're probably not gonna let me do this but we're gonna do this anyway. And they did it. That's crazy. He was on another level, y'all. To Charmelle, there were lots of directions the Kurt Angle character could have gone in after he defeated Shawn Michaels in a five-star classic at WrestleMania 21. Angle had real momentum and was on the top of his game but all he wanted to be on top of was look at his wife, Charmelle. He is for some bizarre reason, WWE creative forces scripted Kurt to go after Charmelle, which included some of the creepiest interviews ever seen on WWE TV. From kicking her down and threatening to kidnap her to expressing his desire to have inter-species relations with her. Bro, this shit was getting so weird. I was like, what's happening here, bro? Angle was a constant menace. I'm sure it wasn't what he envisioned for his future when he was stood on that podium in Atlanta back in 96 but it was certainly memorable. Not good, of course, but memorable and showed a new side of Kurt's character. The man himself has labeled it the worst storyline he's ever been a part of but his dislike for the creative direction didn't prevent him from giving it his absolute all and allowing himself to look like a total and utter deviant. Bro, oh my God. I will say this, for someone who didn't like it, he played that shit a little bit too well. That shit was disturbing. Number one, breaking glass with Shane O'Mack. Nobody and I mean nobody expected Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon to go as hard as they did at King of the Ring 2001. Not only was Kurt's pretty clean cut and scientific as far as his wrestling style was concerned but he had already wrestled two tournament matches earlier that night. Shane, meanwhile, was happy to get his hands dirty in a hardcore environment but there is a world of difference between dirty hands and a body full of broken glass. His street fight was going swimmingly when they decided to make their way to the stage set for a pre-planned stunt. Kurt was supposed to throw Shane through some gimmick sheets of glass but unbeknownst to the combatants, WWE's props department had switched it out for the real thing as they were worried that the explosion caused by the show's pyro would cause it to shatter. Well, the fireworks didn't break it but Shane's head did, eventually anyway. After several attempts, Angle hits a suplex and then simply threw Shane face first through the sharp stuff. It is still one of the damnedest things ever witnessed during a WWE show and a textbook example of Kurt Angle going full perk. Bro, I can't say, hey, you going through this fucking glass, Shane. I want you to understand this. Your dad understands. Classic, classic match, classic segment. Man, bro, this is, Kurt Angle, he was different, man. I'm glad that he's obviously, you know, past that that's in his past, you know, substance abuse, all jokes aside, it's not good. You know, he was definitely dealing with a lot of pain and, you know, ultimately he got hooked to said perks and the rehab for him was very, very hard. So I'm glad he was able to overcome that but at the same time, when he was on those perks, he was given some of the best matches even though he probably shouldn't have, you know. It's crazy how things happen but it's all a testament to, you know, show appreciation to the wrestlers because they be put in their body through hell for decades just to entertain us. So it's always good to be able to show our appreciation to those who put their bodies on the line. But comment down below, let me know your favorite moment when Kurt Angle was perk angle. I know, I know, but he was still putting on some good matches while highly dosed up on perks. So let me know your favorite moment when he was perk angle for a little bit. Favorite match, favorite promo, whatever it was, let me know down below. But I appreciate all of the support you guys on our channel, Roto150K and I'm Stingian, speedy, YouTube wrestling champion world. Appreciate you kicking in with me. See you on next one. Peace.
