A/N: None of this is made up. The facts you read are all apart of Kurt's life, but in the spirit of fiction (and because I do not know Kurt's Life word for word) the dialogue is mine. These are all real facts of Kurt's life and neither him nor I would like to change a bit of it. R&R.

"Angle?" was the first thing Kurt heard from drifting out of his daydream. He looked up to see his wrestling coach Bob Bubb. Kurt then quickly brought himself together
Kurt: yeah
Bob: is anything-wrong Kurt
Kurt: uh.no
But Kurt was thinking of something wrong and that something was the death of his father and that was something to get distracted by
Bob: you need to be on the warm up mat in a few minutes you know
As the coach left the room he went back to daydreaming about the day and the minute and the exact second his father had past away. He was too young to understand what had just happened. It was horrible to think of the faces of his family people crying, people sobbing and then there was little Kurtis Angle sitting there wondering what had happened.
So he went to the mat and started warming up and started thinking about the opponent, a man called with the sir name of Murtazaliyev a man he would eventually meet at the 1996 Olympic Games and Kurt would need a victory so he could win the competition. But sadly his motivation was gone. Yep, his brothers were not there. But they where there when Kurt was in trouble or needed help and his brothers had opened up to him as of late because of them finally seeing what success he would get from his chosen career. Although Kurt didn't see what was so special about himself. But he would soon see his destiny once he went on team Foxcatcher.
***A few years later***
At this point in time Kurt started wrestling under an amateur wrestling organization called foxcatcher for just over a hour after him training on his own with help from Dave Schultz, a good friend of his and a coach for team foxcatcher.
Kurt had picked up a new training schedule which included waking up seven o'clock in the morning and running up a steep hill with a friend of his tied to his back. Even he thought it was crazy but he thought it was crazy but just to top it of he did weights for 4 hours a day! This is suicide he thought every day but did it to live his life long dream of being a participant in the Olympic's but now after winning so many matches in so many states and country's he thought he might just be a medallist.
Kurt sat down on his couch at six o'clock and decided to call Dave before his day of training which lay ahead simply to tell him the good news of John du Pont the owner of Foxcatcher hiring him to be apart of the team. So he rang Dave but only to find he was not home. He got the answering machine.
Kurt: Hey Dave wait till you hear this. I'm on team Foxcatcher!! I am so excited to be seeing you there and training under you professionally. Well see you tomorrow.
Later after his day of training he sat down to watch the news
Broadcaster: hello today we have had a horrible murder of a great man.Dave Schultz
Kurt: DAVE SCHULTZ!!!!!
Broadcaster: the owner of team Foxcatcher John du Pont for no apparent reason murdered Dave Schultz
Kurt: noooo!
Broadcaster: he was murdered while going out to the door knocking and was shot three times. As his wife Nancy heard she walked out the front after the first shot in shock but was told by du Pont to go back inside the house
Kurt then went to bed still in shock of what had just happened and could not sleep
Kurt: I cannot believe this is happening nor can I believe I am actually wrestling under this stupid son of a bitch John du Pont! And I am not sure where I am gonna go to wrestle or where my career is gonna go but I promise I will not let you down David Schultz. I will make you proud!
***A few months later ***
Now in time Nancy Schultz (Dave's wife) had made an organization after her now dead husband Dave Schultz. By the way, the death of Dave was on January of 1996 and we all know what happened that year!
Now back to Kurt. Recently Kurt had been so excited about the Olympics and was going into a tournament so he could go straight to the Olympics. His dream would come easier if he could just win this tournament. Anyway first match of this tournament Kurt was receiving this fall, simple enough right. Wrong. Kurt didn't think about it and unluckily fell right on his head. He heard a disgusting sound in his neck and a few cracks and was in bad pain. But it doesn't stop there he also rolls on his back and in amateur wrestling that means his opponent gains a point. Now it was Kurt 0 opponent 3 and that was worse because he was versing a Russian. He had a little fear of Russians because they are so good at wrestling. But somehow he came back to beat his foe with no luck, but determination.
He went to the Doctor and got a check up on his neck and it came out negative. Kurt would not make the Olympics or the Olympic team for that matter. Kurt's dreams would be crushed and stepped on. Kurt didn't see how he could let this happen. His brothers had taken a large amount of punishment and so could he. He would show his brothers and he would show his family that he wasn't the crybaby he was as a kid, he is an up and coming Olympic Champion Damn It!!! And this wasn't gonna bring him down. So he was gonna give it a shot.
Sadly he got more than one shot that day. Infact he had to get injections all day! After and before every match! But somehow he managed to win the tournament with what turned out to be a serious injury in his neck.
After a while Kurt had found out about the new organization on the news and immediately got on the phone with Nancy and decided his fate. Kurt new he was going to make Dave proud and this was how. He was going to be in the new Dave Schultz organization!!!
Soon he was in the Dave Schultz organization and was going to Atlanta!! But he would be wrestling in the Olympics and that would meen he was living his dream and had high hopes because of his long-term winning. Later he got on the phone to his Doctor to see how he would be
Kurt: um. Doctor
Doctor: yes Kurt
Kurt: I just want to know how I would be for the Olympics?
Doctor: You should be fine. By the way, how is your neck?
Kurt: feeling better. Much better
Doctor: good. But Kurt
Kurt: yeah
Doctor: your results say that. your neck is broken
Kurt: what? I have to wrestle that many matches with a broken neck?
Doctor: yes sadly. By the way are you on the Olympic team?
Kurt: yes I made the team
Doctor: then there is no backing down now
Kurt: wish me luck? Doctor: with a broken neck you'll need it
And Finally
***The Olympics***
Finally the day had come! Thought Kurt who was going down to the place he would meet all the other wrestlers, swimmers, runners the list would go on but they all had two things in common; they all came to Atlanta and they all where the best athletes in the world!!!
Sadly Kurt was nervous and was a little intimidated by a man in the same weight class. He didn't want it to come down to him and himself. He hoped that the man didn't make it to the second round. Kurt then went to his room and sat down. He started crying. But not over the man he would meet but over something different. Soon his coach came in
Bob: hey Kurt what's wrong. Kurt this is like any other match you've been in. C'mon Kurt lets get out there.
"Ok" Kurt said through sobs
Kurt went out but with doubts. Doubts that he would let his family, friends and everyone else who helped him though this down. He was afraid but didn't think of fears, worries and uncertainties bring him down because whether he won or lost he would be living his dream and that is to be in the Olympic games!
Now to
The match!!!
Ok, this match was a on-off thing where Jadidi (His opponent) would get a hold of Kurt and go for the win and then Kurt would come back from it. Now I think (not sure) but eventually Jadidi got Kurt in a leg-lace manoeuvre and because of the swollen hip of Kurt he was pulled over onto his back. (I apologize already said this sorry) The meaning of putting someone on his or her back in amateur wrestling is so you get a point. Therefore Jadidi would gain a point leaving Kurt with nothing and himself with one point. So now the odds are against Kurt and Kurt happened to be thinking of a move that could make it a momentary tie. Eventually he got that move in after a tough fight from Jadidi so that the score was 1-1.So they went into overtime. Jadidi rolled straight out of there and motioned for a time-out. Kurt started jumping around to motion to Jadidi, the ref and the judges that he wasn't tired. Jadidi took deep breaths as all the Americans in the arena cheered on the blue-collar kid from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Kurt made the ref say, "Get back in here" and he did as they locked up again. Jadidi noticed they were out of bounds and faked an injury as the crowd of the USA booed him nearly out of the arena. But when he did get back in the ring Kurt went for a final takedown, which would win the match if he was lucky. As Kurt had his head in-between Jadidi's legs at the time when he noticed the final seconds counting away like sand in a sand timer but Jadidi was still fighting him off. He watched the final seconds, as he pulled hard on Jadidi. 3.2.1. Time up. It was over. Kurt and Jadidi where watching as the board of adjudicators started to choose the winner. Kurt saw something out of the corner of his eye. It was Jadidi who had jumped in the middle of the judges and started pleading his case. But Jadidi's eyes opened wide after looking at the judge's table. Jadidi had started celebrating in joy. "Does he know?" Kurt thought to himself. The referee came back over and held onto both of their wrists so he could raise the winner's hand. Kurt took a last look at his family, Nancy Schultz and a look up at his dad and God. " I'm not sure I can do this for another four years" Kurt thought. He thought of his promise to his friend Dave Schultz and his father Dave Angle and wondered wether he would be true to his word. But the arm of Jadidi's was raised and Kurt's dream was crushed. But what Kurt didn't know was that Jadidi had raised his own arm. But in fact the referee raised the arm of your now Olympic Hero . Kurt Angle!!!!!
Kurt's dream had come true! He lived up to his dreams and his word. He made his Family, Nancy and Dave Schultz and even his father in heaven proud of him that day. He over come two deaths, paralysis and a broken neck to be an Olympic Champion! He dropped to his knees and cried over his great, great life and his achievements. He is a true Hero. It's True, It's Damn true!!!!!!!
