I've gone through a lot of phases in my wrestling career, and not all of it has to do with what you see me on for any given week. My name is Kurt Angle, and I am a professional wrestler. And besides the slow moving lug that is Mark Henry (whose medal for weight lifting shouldn't count), I am the only wrestler in the WWE to have ever won a gold medal in the Olympic games for actual wrestling. This already puts me a step ahead of the rest of them.
In the days where I was just starting out my career, I had three I's to follow, Intensity, integrity, and intelligence. And though I don't use those anymore, I still believe in them. There may have been some things I've done in the past that involve my career that I'm not all that proud of, but if I had to take any of it back, I wouldn't, because of the success. Everything comes with a price, and I've paid mine.
So the "you suck" chants can continue on as long as you want them to. I actually don't mind all that much. Find it flattering, because everyone in the world knows how good of a technical wrestler I am when I want to be, and how much of a mean bastard I can be when the straps come down.
I can also be a regular human being, but when you've got a gold belt around your waist with your name attached to it, everything changes. It may not mean anything to most people because they think it's a scripted thing, but trust me.
Around here, it's the difference between success and failure.
