Pro Wrestler Kurt Angle: Repeat DWI Offender, Arrested Again

((ht: tmz.com))

Some people just can't help themselves.

That's the only explanation for professional wrestler and former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle getting pulled over and arrested for DWI, reportedly for the 4th time, on Thursday night.

According to a report on TMZ, Angle was pulled over by a Texas Highway patrolman in Wise County, Texas.

The arrest, which supposedly happened shortly after a taping of TNA Impact Wrestling, has lead Angle to announce he's heading straight to rehab.

Okay, we get that Angle has a problem. And bravo for him for addressing it. But should this not have been addressed maybe after DWI arrest #2?

Anyone who's followed professional wrestling knows who he is and knows the business is a rough one. Constant travelling, a physical pounding and week upon week away from home would take a toll on anyone.

But their comes a point where you have to not let people get on the road. And in Mr. Angle's case, it may be time to either (a)--Ride with a friend to an event or (b) Call a FREAKING CAB!

Dude, get help. You are going to injure someone or yourself. You don't want to be remembered for that.

Kurt Angle Tries To Make Sure Everyone Knows About London

((HT: Fox And Friends))

And he tried to show Brian Kilmeade a thing or three...

It's true... oh, it's damn true...


As Brother Phil mentioned previously, there is a big part of the HQ that thinks this is just a work to pimp promote his current work with TNA Wrestling...

But, that's just us...

Kurt Angle wants to be in the Olympics again

Kurt Angle

((ht: new york post))

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:
