Turnbuckle Tipsy...


I remember a Kurt Angle who walked out of ECW Arena after viewing a show that he said disgusted him with it's vulgarity. I remember a Kurt Angle who won an Olympic Gold Medal with a broken freakin' neck. I remember a Kurt Angle that was anti-drugs, all-American, and anti-beer drinking, even spraying Steve Ausitn down with wholesome, all-American, white milk from a milk truck.
Apparently, Kurt Angle is faker than Hulk Hogan. In real life.
For the second time this year, Angle has been arrested on charges of operating a vehicle under the influence.
Angle had made some news of late that he was going to begin training to make a comeback at the 2012 London Olympics. But, it's safe to assume now, he may have just been drunk when he said that.
Angle was picked up in March when police found him behind the wheel of his car, parked in a median. The officers smelled alcohol and arrested him. Technically they couldn't get him for DUI because they did not see him drive the car, but did site him for being in control of a vehicle while under the influence.
And, over the holiday weekend, he was nabbed again for a DUI, this time in Virginia. A state that has road signs that say there are hidden cameras and star wars-ish satellite surveillance watching you. Not smart to drive bad, let alone drunk in Virginia.
Another motorist called in to report a vehicle driving wreck less and erratic in I-66. That was Angle. Damn cell phones.
These are just the latest legal troubles for the Olympic Hero. In 2009, Angle was arrested for breaking a restraining order and being accused of stalking his on-again-off-again girlfriend at the time. His wife, Karen, now married to Angle's boss Jeff Jarrett, had just left him after she cited abuse, physical, verbal and psychological.
While being arrested for this violation, he was also found to have and charged with possession of human growth hormone and syringes to use the drug with. His girlfriend who had made the complaint was also a TNA employee, women's wrestler Rhaka Kahn,real name Trenesh Biggers.
Angle was also arrested for DUI in 2007 in his home of Moon Township, PA, also the home to John Calipari. The case against him in stalking charges and HGH possession were dropped, and he as cleared of DUI charges for the 2007 arrest.
Angle claims he has been framed in his latest DUI case, and his attorney has claimed that Angle passed a breathalyzer test.
On the heels of The Hardy Boys mess, the firing of Matt Hardy after his DUI arrest roughly 2 weeks ago, and the overall stigma that is now associated with wrestlers and their drug and alcohol issues, does TNA fire their top guy? Or do they send the message that he can do whatever he wants?
As of now, Angle is still employed in TNA, and is the current TNA/Impact World Champion.
He's a drunk. A damn drunk.
