Kurt Angle…TIME TO ACT LIKE YOU HAVE SOME SENSE!

PITTSBURGH — Pro wrestler and Olympic medalist Kurt Angle has been arrested on charges of violating a protection from abuse order and possession of human growth hormone.

Forty-year-old Kurt Angle was arrested at about 7:50 a.m on Saturday in the parking lot of the Robinson Town Center in suburban Pittsburgh. His girlfriend told police that she obtained a protection order after a dispute between the two Friday night.

Police say they found the human growth hormone “Hygetropin” in Angle’s car. The wrestler told them he had a prescription for the drug. Kurt also denied stalking his girlfriend, saying he had not seen her and was looking for a hotel because he was barred from his home.

Officials say he was charged with violating the protection order, harassment, possession of drugs and paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license.

Okay, Kurt? Here’s the deal, I know you’re upset due to the private and public embarrassment you’re dealing with regarding your ex-wife and Jeff Jarrett pretty much doing his variation of the “Angle Slam” on Karen. But a few things to remember…

1. You’re in a sport that revs up a good amount of testosterone and with that being revved up, you’re more likely to be more aggressive and more intense. Don’t fall into the same traps as other wrestlers who get so far into their character.

2. As a professional wrestler, you’re going to get a lot of heat for whatever you do. Finding growth hormones with or without a prescription IS NOT A GOOD LOOK!
You KNOW the media scrutinizes pro wrestling. Whenever pro wrestling is in the media, you know how smug “journalists” can be regarding “Sports Entertainment.” With what you achieved in the Olympics, and being marketable enough to get the push can be pretty much taken if you stay on this cycle of irrational behavior.

But, Kurt Angle has been released from jail and has been scheduled for TNA’s PPV event “Hard Justice” tonight at 8PM EST /5PM PST.
