but there is a point when u have to draw the line and say that was the straw that broke the camels back and just stop for a while no duh he was passionate hes great a legend but doing what he did is totally wrong
True? or False? I don't know, but this is where I got my info from. Well after reading it again Vince doesn't say it, but its mention a couple of times.
From the PWTorch newsletter:
Dave Hawk and Kurt Angle met with WWE officials last Friday morning, and Angle was told that he needed to get help for his prescription painkiller addictions. They told him to go to rehab and then return to the company once he was clean, which is something they've done for tons of other men throughout the years. Angle, despite the story that was weaved on WWE.com and in the press releases, does not believe he has an issue with painkillers, and so he flat-out refused to go to rehab or seek any kind of help whatsoever.
Vince McMahon then fired him. It was not a release, nor a mutual agreement. Angle refused to get treatment for his illness, so Vince was left with the only real option the company had at that point, which was to fire him. Whether it was to send a message or to protect the interests of the company or Angle himself, the end result is that Angle was released from his job. His no-compete clause remains in effect and will expire near the end of November.
Kurt Angle is not going to rehab, and he's not going home to let his body heal up. He'll probably go rest for three months or so, because at that point his no compete clause expires and WWE officials expect him to sign a contract with TNA. In fact, WWE officials actually encourage him to go to TNA, because he'll be working a much more limited scheduled, and the lack of house show tours will allow him to greatly rest up between shows. He'll make $500,000 or so per year to wrestle 5 times per month, and WWE sources believe that he can get his pain levels back down to a manageable level by working for the smaller promotion. There are also those in WWE that believe that Vince McMahon actually WANTS Angle to go and work for TNA, because he's apparently realized in this very late mid-life crisis he's currently enduring that he's a much better businessman and much more creatively inclined when he actually has competition to try and defeat. By signing Angle and perhaps Bill Goldberg, TNA would earn themselves a bigger place on the map and could perhaps instantly jump to that two-hour timeslot they so desire.
My TNA source tells me that they're a bit hesitant to sign Kurt, but that it's already being discussed internally. They realize that if they bring in the incredibly damaged Angle, they're going to need built-in safeties in his contract to help him avoid getting to the point he was at near the end of his WWE run. If TNA does eventually tour, Kurt Angle will likely not be on a majority of those house shows and instead will stick to the television shows and pay per view events. Since he'll instantly be the biggest star in the company, they will be able to market him as a special attraction much the way WWE does with Undertaker, thereby giving him more time to heal, reduce his addictive need for painkillers, and perhaps extend his career (and his life) by many years.
Some have speculated that Angle will go to Japan, but that's not even a remote possibility at this point. In order to make big money in Japan, you have to do shoots and fight with Pride or K1, and Angle will do neither of those. There's a small chance that New Japan or another of the big three major promotions will overpay for his services, but sources close to the situation say they don't see it happening because the rigors of a months-long Japanese tour will kill him even faster than the WWE schedule was. In all likelihood, we'll see Kurt Angle make his TNA debut sometime around November 27, a few weeks after his WWE no-compete clause expires- got this from another thread
Not sure if its true though

I can't believe Kurt Angle is saying thank you to TNA for saving his life.

TNA is more fast paced than wwe and Angle is just going to injure himself badly.

I hear that, personally the dude is a fool. I hate how everybody is getting hyped over this, we all know TNA sqaunders everything ever handed to them. You know that once Angles pill popping becomes a issue he will just becomes a Transitional Champion so Jarrett can try to surpass every other NWA Champion in title Reigns. Christian, Raven, Rhyno, Ron Killings, their bullshit and hype just died on the vine.
I mean, I'll admit that Kurt was doing nothing in The WWE at the time of his release, they pretty much wrote him off after Wrestlemania, stuck him in ECW instead of having him chase Rey. Regardless if it was because of his drug problem, and health issues. But TNA? They are just as bad as WWE as far as Political Bullshit goes, and to be honest I would rather be held down by Triple H in the WWE and get a bigger paycheck, then be held down by a plank of wood for a pay cut. I mean at least Trips has talent and charisma, Jarrett is some what talented, but has ZERO Charisma.

True Angle would get a bigger check in Stamford, but he had to wrestle more dates per month for it, which wasn't conducive to his overall health. This is probably the main catalyst for why he went there. The WWE road schedule tore his body up. Hopefully, his body and his addiction were exaggerated. I love watching the guy wrestle and am interested to see what he does in TNA, but if it means sacrificing his health, then no way. Retire him. No amount of in-ring entertainment is worth a human life.TheFiend said:

WHY ANGLE?????
shit TNA gonna get big now
shit TNA gonna get big now
i can see why you guys would be upset by this, it was a bit sudden.
but look at it from Kurts POV.
a lot of people have boasted about this, but with Angle, there’s really nothing left for him to do in WWE. he's fought EVERYONE. at least everyone worth fighting. he's won just about every title. he's been involved in just about every conceivable storyline.
apparently all that was left for him was to shuffle him around to add name value to a new product in ECW, and even then, they weren’t really doing anything with him but letting him beat Justin Credible (whoop whoop!)
the guy probably wants to try something new for a change.
remember, WWE didn’t make Kurt Angle. he won Gold long before he worked for them.
