If circumstances had been different...

...would we be talking about Kurt Angle as one of the 4-5 greatest wrestlers ever?

I've been rewatching Rumble PPVs all week, and I was reminded of how perfect Angle was. He could talk, he could fly, he could brawl, he could (obviously) work on the mat. His stamina was unmatched, he drew insane reactions (mega pops as a face, mega heat as a heel), and he had "it" (whatever that means).

If it hadn't been for his neck injury and subsequent personal issues, would Angle have been the guy on top of WWE for the last decade? If he could have stayed healthy and clean, would we be talking about him the way we talk about Hogan, Flair, Austin, and Cena?
