Kurt Angle, an Olympic gold medalist and former professional wrestler, piled on the trolling of UFC star Conor McGregor on Tuesday as the Irishman recovered from a gruesome leg injury.
Angle won a gold medal in 100-kilogram freestyle wrestling for the U.S. at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics while dealing with a broken neck and few other injuries before he started his career in professional wrestling with ECW, WWE and TNA. He didn’t appear to be fazed about McGregor’s injury.
