Kurt Angle has said he is currently living with extreme pain all day long.
For years, Angle reminded fans that he won an Olympic Gold Medal with a broken neck. Now, it appears he is dealing with the fallout of that achievement.
During a Q&A edition of The Kurt Angle Show, Angle was asked how he is feeling these days. In short, he said he is doing constant maintenance on his body, and is in extreme pain. Here is the quote, courtesy of Wrestling News:
“I’m in extreme pain all day long. I do maintenance on my body all day. I do my neck traction. I have a thing called the Iron Neck, where it trains your neck. I have anti-gravity machine rollers. I stretch. I do a lot of weight training. I work on my body a good 2-3 hours a day. I have to. I’m so banged up now. I sacrificed a lot of my body in professional wrestling, and amateur wrestling. I have to blame both sports, not just one. I’m paying for it now, but I’m managing it. I had a painkiller problem, and I kicked that eight years ago. Not having painkillers anymore is really difficult, but I’m never going back to those, nor do I want to. I’m going to keep doing my body maintenance training, and doing what I’m doing right now.”
Kurt Angle also dealt with injuries throughout his pro wrestling career. He ultimately wrestled his last match in 2019 after he had been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017.
