Describing the showdown with Lesnar, Angle admitted that it was an incredibly close contest, dispelling any notion of dominance.

"Brock was picking Big Show up, double legging him, just wrecking him–and that’s when I thought, ‘I don’t know if I can beat this kid. But I figured, I may as well try. It was a tight match. I didn’t dominate.

But I won," Angle explained. Angle's triumph over Lesnar highlighted the fine line that separates a national champion from an Olympic gold medalist. Drawing from his own experience, Angle emphasized the importance of positioning in wrestling, which he had mastered under Shultz's guidance.

"There’s a big difference between a national champion and a gold medalist. I knew Brock was going to do his college wrestling with straight double legs. It was all about positioning. That’s what Dave taught me, and that’s why I hardly ever got scored on.

Brock didn’t score on me," he elaborated. This revelation from Kurt Angle provides a captivating glimpse into the world of professional wrestling, showcasing the remarkable skills and determination that define the sport's elite competitors.
