Man I'm not ready for the Kurt Angle episode.
I remember being a "TNA kid" in the mid to late 2000's, and thinking that Angle was not human, he would straight up wrestle at 120% the intensity of a normal wrestler during those years.
Around 2009/2010, there were increasing rumors that Angle was seen limping and struggling to move backstage, but when the entrance music would start, he would shake it off, endure it just enough to wrestle his usual style of match, and go back just in time for the adrenaline to wear off.
"No way", I thought, "he's still moving as fast as ever, he's still as explosive as ever, those rumors must be fake".
Little did I know, not only were the rumors true, but the real toll that continuing to work at that level was taking on him was worse than any rumors could have guessed.
In the next 5 years, he aged 15.
He's a cautionary tale for any wrestler that thinks about mortgaging their body to wrestle at an increased level... Mortgages have brutal interests.
