23. Kurt Angle

One of the greatest wrestlers to ever exist has to be Kurt Angle. He has made an incredible career in the world of pro wrestling, earning world titles and dominating both WWE and TNA wrestling. He’s always been highly entertaining in the sport and many would call him the greatest pro wrestler there ever was. This year, Kurt Angle’s contributions are finally getting him placed into WWE’s Hall of Fame.

But Angle has a distinction which separates him from other WWE stars. Angle is the only one to actually win an Olympic gold medal for wrestling, as well. Say what you will about the winners of WWE matches being predetermined. Angle has proven that he can dominate opponents in Olympic wrestling as well. Making his win even more insane is the fact that he pulled it off with a broken freakin’ neck.

Kurt Angle actually does have a modicum of experience dealing with zombies, as well. He appears in the campy horror B-movie Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies. In the film, (SPOILER ALERT) Kurt Angle actually dies and becomes a zombie. Maybe he didn’t fare so well in that film, but now that he knows what he’s dealing with, Angle would likely do much better in a real zombie outbreak.
