5 WWE Superstar moves that were renamed

#3 WWE Superstar Kurt Angle's Olympic Slam is now called Angle Slam

The Angle Slam has won Kurt Angle many a titles over the years

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle wanted to dedicate and honor the sport that put him on the map, and so he named the now known Angle Slam as Olympic Slam. It was the perfect way to pay respect to the sport he loved and the one that made him famous.

The Superstar revealed on an episode of WWE Confidential, which aired on March 6th, 2004, that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had requested him not to use the 'Olympic' word in his move. He had to omit it, and that is why the Olympic Slam became the Angle Slam, which the former Olympian uses to this day.

This issue didn't occur when Kurt used the name during his run in Total Nonstop Action (TNA). It is a bit shocking but not surprising because both the companies have different business matrices with IOC, and if one has to understand 2001 was a time when the Attitude Era was running in the WWE.
