Kurt Angle wants to give back to the business
Having enjoyed sustained success in the wrestling industry, Kurt Angle is now trying to better it in his retirement. He recently appeared on “Biography: WWE Legends” where he talked about his early wrestling days, his journey, and how he struggled with painkillers and addiction.
Speaking in an interview with Fox News Digital, Angle revealed that he hopes his story will help people struggling with addiction to overcome their demons.
“I went through a lot of turmoil in my life and I want to help others. Having a problem with addiction and being in recovery for the last nine years, I was told in the recovery center to tell your story, and I’ve been pretty open about my story. And I wanted this documentary to come out to help anybody. Anybody that’s in trouble. Anybody that’s dealing with addiction. Anybody that’s trying to overcome obstacles.… It’s more about redemption and overcoming.” (h/t NY Post)
