In total, Kurt Angle has four older brothers - David, Mark, Eric and Johnny. Some may remember Eric Angle from his brief appearances on WWE programming. Eric, like Kurt, also wrestled at an amateur level in high school, back in 1985.
Fast forward 15 years and he was making his professional debut at Survivor Series in 2000, helping Kurt defeat the Undertaker.
He was then given a developmental contract with the company, but injuries would not allow him to progress in the WWF. After being released by the company in 2003, Eric tried his luck at several Indy promotions around the country. But alas, injuries would continue to hinder him, forcing him into an early retirement.
