Thoughts on Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett
Okay so last night I was very shocked that Kurt Angle was allowed to keep the TNA Heavyweight Title after being arrested. He was arrested for multiple things which include:
* Driving while operating privileges suspended
* Prohibited acts
* Possession
* Harassment
Kurt Angle may see his career come to an end because of his own stupidity and horrible choices. I respect Kurt Angle as a wrestler and what he has done in the business but this is ridiculous. If this isn’t bad enough, his ex-wife Karen Angle is now living with the TNA Founder Jeff Jarrett. Now as far as this situation goes I don’t agree with.
Jeff Jarrett is another guy I respect because of what he’s done for pro wrestling but letting your top stars ex-wife live with you is not a very smart move. Double J has not been on TV since the report got out about the whole situation. There is a very bad struggle in TNA right now for power. I would really hate to be Dixie Carter at this point in time. This is not the first time a situation like this has happen in wrestling. Lets see here are a few examples
-Nancy Benoit left Kevin Sullivan for Chris Benoit. Enough said there
-Miss Elizabeth left Randy Savage and eventually was with Lex Luger when she died.
-Who can forget when Lita left Matt Hardy for Edge and turned into a full fledged storyline on TV.
The only situation that turned out good was for Hardy and Edge because both of their careers got big after their feud ended. Obviously the bad part was that Lita quit the business because of all the harassment she got from fans and others.
In defense of Karen Angle I will say this. She didn’t move in with Jeff until the divorce was finalized. It’s not like they were having an affair. Karen was divorced an Jeff was a widower. I am not saying it was smart or right but you have to look at it from their points of view. No one knows what they are thinking. I think Jeff has hurt himself by not coming out and speaking on the matter.
There so many questions surrounding TNA about who is in control and who has the power. Kurt really hurt his chances of gaining power with being arrested. Jeff might be able to get his power back. Only time will tell to see what happens. I’ll be curious to see what happens at the Impact tapings this week. Stay tuned for more.
