| Kurt Angle |
Oh it's true. You know it's true.
1996 Olympic Wrestling Gold Medal winner and current TNA professional wrestler Kurt Angle wants to return to the Olympics.
Really.
The New York Post did an interview with Angle and the 43-year-old says "I can guarantee that I will either make the Olympic team or be an alternate. I will go over to London and represent my country."
If you are a pro wrestling geek, then you know Angle at various times in his pro career has played up his amateur wrestling background.
But the game has changed.
Angle says Total Nonstop Action wrestling has been totally supportive, allowing him time to train and do what he needs to so he is ready when the team trials come up.
And we think the folks at TNA aren't stupid. If Angle can pull this off, you can bet money there will be a storyline that will accompany it. It would be a "PR Bonanza" for the 2nd place wrestling organization.

While not the wrestling fans that we used to be, we respect Angle's skill and tenacity. And we wish him nothing but the best in his attempt, it could, in theory be quite a story when the 2012 Olympics in London commence this summer.
But the cynic in us wonders if this is a bit of a work.
Here is Angle doing his current job (thanks TNA):
We may get in trouble for this, but here is YouTube video of Angle winning his gold in Atlanta in 1996:
