“Work Harder Than Everyone Else”: Kurt Angle Drops Life-Changing Advice for Aspiring WWE Stars
WWE Hall of Famer and Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle has a message that every up-and-coming wrestler—and honestly, anyone chasing a dream—needs to hear.
Angle, one of the most decorated superstars in wrestling history, has done it all inside the squared circle. From holding the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships to winning the Intercontinental, European, Hardcore, and Tag Team Titles, his legacy speaks for itself. But according to him, the real secret behind his success isn’t just talent or charisma—it’s something much simpler.
Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Angle revealed the one thing that carried him through every challenge:
“Work ethic is everything. That’s what got me all of my championships—outworking people and working hard. That’s the most important thing I always preach. Believe in yourself and have an incredible work ethic.”
Angle emphasized that while success doesn’t always guarantee constant victory, the grind will always pay off in the long run.
“If you have incredible work ethic, you’re always going to be successful. It doesn’t mean you’re always going to win, but you will achieve a lot if you can do that.”
For the next generation of wrestlers hoping to follow in his footsteps, the Olympic Hero’s advice is crystal clear: talent might get you noticed, but relentless hard work is what builds legends.
