Could Kurt Angle ever have been 'the guy'?

I consider Angle, despite all his downfalls, the best professional wrestler of all time. The man is seriously the total package - he's over, he has charisma, he can work the mic, can do everything from a goofy character to a bad ass and pull off each virtually perfectly... And his in-ring abilities are some of the best in the world, he can do just about everything from high-flying to brawling to mat/submission wrestling and he mixes it perfectly.

I think he could have easily been the top of the company for years had he not had so many neck/drug/whatever problems. But because of those reasons, he maybe could have had one or two years, but he started out his professional career destined to be taken out fairly fast. Honestly, I'm surprised he's lasted as long as he has.
