RELWYSKOW. yes KURT ANGLE most recent.
Robin Reed or Aleksandr Karelin (only had one pro bout)
There could be a different answer to the question: of all the Olympic wrestlers who turned pro., who would be considered to be the best performer / worker in the pro game. And the “most successful” could also be asked. The aforementioned Kurt Angle would be pretty high on that list.
I would agree with Danny Hodge.
For the modern audience, I would think Kurt Angle, as the best known name, maybe.
Danny Hodge
