Kurt Angle broke his neck five times throughout both his amateur and professional wrestling careers. Famously once during the Olympics, and a further four times in a WWE ring. He also injured his knees doing a moonsault off the top of a cage in TNA and sadly has previously said the quality of his life sucks. Now speaking on his brand new podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, he has revealed the depressing news that he requires another surgery, and this one will keep him bedbound for up to six months.
Angle retired from the ring in 2019 at Wrestlemania 35, putting Baron Corbin over in the process. Since then, the Olympic gold medalist has had stem cell therapy at BioXcellarator in Colombia, so hopefully, that treatment has somewhat helped him cope. It’s sad to think of anyone in constant discomfort, so with luck, when he can get further surgery, it significantly improves his quality of life.
