#4.) Winning the WWF Championship at No Mercy
Kurt Angle made his in-ring debut at Survivor Series 1999. It was less than a year later that he was competing for the WWF Championship against the face of the company – The Rock. What was even more surprising was that Angle had just come off a loss in a feud with Triple H, so getting a push right after was a little unexpected.
Despite Rikishi accidentally costing The Rock the match, Angle made history, becoming the only superstar to win a WWF Championship and an Olympic Gold medal. Angle would also join the elite group of superstars who would win a world title within their debut year on the main roster.
