Kurt used to boast about winning the medal "with a broken freaking neck", and this is actually true. He defeated Iran’s Abbas Jadidi via judge’s decision after an 8 minute draw with 2 factured cervical vertebrae, 2 herniated discs and 4 pulled muscles.
Kurt would go on to win several championships in professional wrestling, including being only the 5th Grand Slam winner, winning the WWE World, WWE Tag Team, Intercontinental, and European Championships. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017, as well as the National Amateur Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2001.
