Kurt Angle's Behaviour

[CM Punk]

​

Although it’s not always fair to speculate, those that have followed Kurt Angle’s odd behavior over the years may be correct in their concern for his long-term wellbeing. Whether it’s aggressive or incoherent Twitter rants, or delusions of an MMA or second Olympic career, the 1996 Gold Medalist has certainly shown sings since his WWE departure that he’s not quite functioning correctly.

In a recent interview with MLW Radio, wrestling star Konnan added more smoke to the fire, by recounting a frankly bizarre incident in Mexico.

In a previous interview Konnan had revealed that while he was in TNA, Angle had confided in him that Vince McMahon had tried to lure Kurt back to WWE by regularly sending him flowers! Kurt responded via Twitter vehemently denying the allegations, but fast forward to TripleMania last August, Konnan discussed a second run-in with the Olympian:

“Remember when we were talking about Kurt Angle? I was like, hey, cool dude. I even marked out when I heard he was coming to TNA, but give me a break about the flowers thing. People sending him tweets telling him ‘Konnan said you got flowers from Vince’ and he said I was delusional.

“Well he showed up in Mexico for a show, for Triplemania, about a month and a half ago and we hadn’t talked since [the flower controversy]. He came in and literally for like the first three hours he wouldn’t even speak a word to me. He wouldn’t even look at me when I was going over the match. Obviously I’m going to have to tell the guy that he did say [Vince sent him flowers]. Maybe he doesn’t remember it, but we have to squash it because I can’t work like this. And then — I don’t know what happened — but he just totally chilled out. Without me talking to him, all of a sudden he’s very serious, wouldn’t talk or look at me and then the next minute he was alright and like hugging me.”

It’s on the record that when Angle was released from WWE in 2006 there was concern for his health physically, and that he was going through pain pill issues. Knowing what we know about the condition of Chris Benoit‘s brain at the time of his death, it’s highly likely that Kurt also has some long-term damage from the various concussions he’s received over the years.

The hope is that the lighter TNA schedule has done him some good, but he’s still often working through injuries and has been involved in a string of DUI incidents, and a claim of stalking by his then girlfriend Rhaka Khan. Angle has denied fault in every single incident, but then Kurt even denies things he’s written on his own Twitter account.

Lets hope this is all blown out of proportion and that TNA are looking after their talent adequately.

This isn't a report, just a thought I read on a blog.
What do you think of this?​

Not surprising IMO.

lol @ that shitty blog post (hope you didn't make that)

Newsflash: 99% of wrestlers are crazy bastards. Why Kurt seems to catch more flack for being one is beyond me

Nah, didn't write it.

What baffles me though is how together he looked years ago in his early days. If you compare him now to the Kurt Angle in like 2000 there is a noticeable difference. It's an interesting topic to debate.

If you think about it, he has been strange lately.

lol? Explain? he is an old man now, of course he looks different than 12 years ago

I noticed he doesn't have hair anymore. :troll:

I was referred to an article many years ago by a friend of mine. The article stated that homosexuality is quite rampant on the road. It also made mention of how Kevin Nash simply wrestled for $ and didn't get involved in 'high-risk' wrestling the way Mankind did.

Workers like Ric Flair, Mankind, Kurt, Bret and so many others gave their all to the fans and suffer today from all the sacrifices they've made. I was told very early on to save $, so I ask, were Goldberrg and Kevin Nash the smart ones? This is rhetorical (sp) I suppose, but something I'm concerned of myself.

I didn't once talk about looks. I'm fully capable of understanding the concept of ageing.

I just saw the word 'looked' in your post and misinterpreted it. I had just woke up and was on the john, so remove the stick from your vagina

Even still, I don't get why people are on Kurt's dick over some drunk tweets and a DUI. oh no, he's on painkillers?!?! so are 95% of professional athletes ffs

 

[Stopspot]

Probably because Kurt is one of the more vocal athletes out there. He makes noise around himself when he does stuff like this.

I suppose it's OK to poke fun at but anyone that is seriously concerned about Angle needs to chill out.
