Kurt Angle had an interview with MovieLine, promoting his new movie Warrior. During said interview, he let this nugget fly:
So I actually signed a new three-year deal today with TNA. I’m going to stick with TNA.Interesting the timing of this announcement. He was just nabbed for DWI, and now he's getting a contract extension. The last guy who got popped for DWI was Matt Hardy. What did he get afterwards? A pink slip. Seems curious, the double standard, especially since it was Hardy's first run-in with the law under contract, and this is Angle's fourth. Obviously, I'm not going to feign surprise or shock at the double standard, because I know why Angle gets rewarded and Hardy got the boot. I'm not even advocating that Hardy should have gotten another shot with the company.
What I am advocating is that instead of giving Angle another extension with no recourse, maybe they should push for him to get help. He clearly has a problem. He's clearly not gotten the help he needs to get his alcoholism under wraps, and yes, getting drunk and getting behind the wheel of a car smacks to me of alcoholism. I don't want to begrudge him a chance to make a career, but he's going to kill someone, whether it's himself or someone innocent.
