#8 Kurt Angle's farewell tour

In March, Kurt Angle announced his retirement from professional wrestling. In April, Kurt Angle fought Baron Corbin in a losing effort at WrestleMania 35. Since then, he has transitioned himself to a backstage role as a producer.

Kurt Angle has nothing left to prove to the WWE universe, and so his loss against Baron Corbin was not very surprising. It seemed logical on WWE's part to use the WWE Hall of Famer to push one of their next-generation Superstars.

"I don't think it's the match that I hoped for, I think it was the match that should have happened." The Olympic gold medalist had this to say about his match-up with Baron Corbin. If one leaves the entire rivalry between both the Superstars aside, Angle's farewell tour treated the WWE Universe with some dream match-ups.

Samoa Joe, Cedric Alexander, AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre, Apollo Crews, and Chad Gable (Shorty G) were some of the wrestlers who shared the ring with Kurt Angle.

Angle's involvement at RAW Reunion was history photographed. He raised a toast alongside Steve Austin, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Triple H, and other fellow wrestlers of his era.
