Kurt Angle reenacted one of his funniest WWE moments from two decades ago on Thursday.
And he did so while wearing a Washington Wizards jersey.
What is Kurt Angle doing at home during this time? Sharpening my guitar skills!! I think I got better after 20 years. What do you think? 😃 #coronavirussucksbutidont pic.twitter.com/TKRIkTEyiv

The Hall of Fame wrestler sang Jimmy Crack Corn (poorly) on his guitar.
Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care,
I got Olympic gold!
I got Olympic gold!
I got Olympic gold!
Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care,
I got Olympic gold!
Wrestling fans of the Attitude Era will remember that Angle performed the song during an episode where Stone Cold Steve Austin was serenading Vince McMahon because the WWE owner was depressed. Angle, jealous of the attention Austin was receiving, walked into McMahon’s office and tried to impress the owner himself. This was the result.
Angle is actually an Olympic gold medalist, winning gold in wrestling at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, despite a “broken freakin’ neck.”
