My battle with addiction lasted over a decade. I remember the day that my wife came to me and said "I love you. But I can't be with you anymore if you continue to pass out every night. It's sad to see you ruining your life and missing out on our children growing up." "I'm sorry, but if you don't get clean, I'm leaving you," she told me. "I don't want your money. I just want to protect my family." Wow! I didn't realize how bad I was. You never do when you're in the middle of hardcore addiction. But having 4 DUIs in 5 years also showed me there was a horrible pattern. The fact that each DUI charge was reduced to reckless driving or thrown own just gave me an excuse to keep using. So I decided to go to rehab, and it was the best decision I've ever made. In rehab, you have so much structure. After one week of very, very difficult withdrawal symptoms, I was feeling great. The routine was 8 hours of sleep. Wake up. Exercise and yoga. Breakfast (healthy meals). Addiction prevention class. Lunch. Class again. Dinner. Meetings. Music time. Then sleep. But what happens when you get out? You're released back into the world where you became addicted. That's why 95 percent of those in recovery relapse. There's no structure after rehab, except for AA/NA meetings, which can be difficult if you're a husband, father, career man, and celebrity, not to mention very private. I struggled nights with what I could do to help others stay in recovery after rehab. It took me 4 years to come up with a solution. And that's AngleStrong. AngleStrong is an initiative to assist recovering addicts stay in recovery. Go to the AngleStrong.com website to read about it. I've helped to create an app that any recovering addict can follow daily to stay in recovery. It's easy: Sign up, fill in your profile, answer the questions each day, sign up your lifelines to help support you in recovery and go to the chat line to converse with other recovering addicts. It has daily reminders, positive daily messages, a monthly video call with me answering your questions, and it's GPS enabled so that we can find you if you relapse. This is Anglestrong! We will win!!</a></p> <p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A post shared by Kurt Angle (@therealkurtangle) on <time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2017-05-08T17:52:02+00:00">May 8, 2017 at 10:52am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote> <script async defer src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script>

See Jinder is doing his job already!

Black Widow, I remember that you had a prejudice towards people of color. Is your statement based on that or the fact that Jinder Mahal, a lower card act who was propelled to the main event scenario only because they want representation in India?

Jack Tunney is rolling over in his grave.

Surely there's a clause about BLATANT THEFT in there?

That whole Orton/Bray thing was dumb as shit anyway. I'm sure they've done title matches where the belt is stolen before.

Option 2.

Bring back Khali if they want representation in India at least his gibberish was funny.

Randy has title matches all the time at house shows; more #FakeNews from Kenton "Clickbait" Lane

Seems RAW's decline is even worse than previously expected when factoring cable in general. Can't mainly blame it on cord cutters since RAW's drop is like 3x more than the average.

Meanwhile even with the recent couple weeks of decline, Smackdown still has benefited a lot by being a live show.

Glad gulak has something to work with character wise. When it comes to cruiserweights, I actually like the quick mat wrestling and unique counters more than the high flying, and gulak is the best of the bunch in that regard.

Growing up in an all polish family, every time I hear drew gulak I think drew goulash.

For those interested in buying Mania 33's DVD/Blu-Ray sets, neither version has the kick-off matches included for the US. UK region of the sets has both though.

Meanwhile the bassist from Kings of Leon who recently trashed wrestling backtracked on his statement and now claims someone else took his phone to make the tweet.

Probably wasn't expecting the amount of online backlash and ridicule from both fans and wrestlers when he tweeted the original insult.

Does it really matter? The guy's entitled to his opinion and to express it.

Boo fucking hoo if wrestling fans and wrestlers get their feelings hurt. Jesus, people need to grow the fuck up.

Well I mean I don't take it personally, but he has to realize there's going to be part of his fanbase that also likes wrestling, and that is insulting part of his fanbase. Thankfully for me I think Kings of Leon suck.

They are absolutely awful

What song did they sing?

I don't know names, but if it's a bad song you can assume it's them.

no matter what it is. Even if it's different people singing. Rule of thumb is if it's a bad song it's done by Kings of Leon, or Drake.

That's no way to speak of your compatriot

Lol hes actually not bad at what he does i just am not his biggest fan and hes kind of a dink. Seems like a nice enuff guy tho

There's so many questions about that gif, like what the hell is Mr. Belding doing? What the hell would you name that dance? And did the Uso get heat for looking amazed?

Nah, I know what you mean. That's exactly how I feel about him lol

Yup

Cool King should write them an angry letter on his typewriter.

I dunno, at most companies the boss is gonna be making a lot more than the subordinates.

The shirt seems pretty accurate to me.

According to the Observer, ITV's World of Sport future is in serious doubt and all because of TNA/Impact getting involved. ITV currently looking at the idea of partnering with someone else because of how toxic Impact has been to their project.

Wrestlers who were interested in ITV's series are also now looking at other options instead.

ITV is pissed their current plans had to be delayed and might try for an early 2018 launch but likely dropping it by then.

Watching NXT..... was shaking my head at the fans doing the "TWO..... SWEEEEET" thing...... but then some other fans started to chant "That's annoying" at them, and then the other fans started chanting "So are you" back at them.......

Chant tearing apart the NXT universe.......

The saying is literally 20 years old though. Maybe its a cultural disconnect.

PS Typewriters are awesome.

The crowd is the reason why I don't watch anymore

I don't understand wrestling fans trying to get themselves over. Buy a prostitute or something more interesting than wrestling chants. At the very least, fuck off.

I miss the days where crowd interaction was organic.

The Rock and Austin were both masters. Same with Road Dogg.

*double post*

:yes:

Here's a video from Memphis 1988 of the fans chanting "He's got AIDS" when Brickhouse Brown talks about his manager Brother Ernest Angel being sick.

Big Papamaga

... That's actually not a bad sounding name.

That is when Vince fell in love with "Samoa Joe".

Crowd is so bored

Looks like Courtney Love.

I would be down for a courtney love type character.

Simple Fan, please explain that gif

Undertaker almost killing Kanyon with a chair shot.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GWaGrGcIX3Y?start=366" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Hated Taker during that time, that stupid beanie made him look like a douche.

Not as much as when he used Limp Bizkit as his theme, but yeah.

I didnt know Ryan Clark helped Kanyon write a book.

Kanyon's death was sad. Folks claimed he was sacked for being gay. Wasn't Patterson openly gay?

That would actually be a solid character to build a baby face

It would definitely be different. To my knowledge, there's never been a drugged out hot mess character.

Kanyon seemed like a really likeable guy.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WYDsVN17OPo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Nope.

Yeah Patterson was, but Kanyon wasn't the legend Patterson was.

Vince has done homophobic, trashy storylines that could lead one to believe he is a homophobe but I don't think Vince cares about sexual preference, but enjoys offending anyone and everyone because that is his sense of humour.

But you know, maybe there's a need to be a fly on the wall in any situation that would lead Kanyon to believe Vince was a homophobe.

Cena is also wrong about Kanyon though, even as Kanyon, he was great. Who betta?

At around 15:00 you get a very early Jerry Lawler match, featuring one of the most awful announcers ever.

The "Warped Ya Head Off Hold" and "Brain Duster" are put to good use.

On the subject of Kanyon, I watched his interview with Stern where he said he was fired for being gay. Ric Flair calls in to represent WWE. Kanyon definitely seemed like he was using his homosexuality as an excuse. He was one of those undercard guys who eventually wore out his welcome in WWE. Regardless of how talented you think he was personally, he definitely was one of those guys WWE would decide they have no use for at the time. In no way do I think his homosexuality came into play.

Starts at 4:50

I'm inclined to agree with Fan. I think he was hard done by to be released as he was hella talented, but he wasn't a WWF guy, didn't fit the mould.

His proof seems to be "I was employed for 9 years so clearly now that I'm not employed it's because I'm gay."

He was dealing with some serious demons so I can understand his headspace was neither a productive nor healthy one.

You're calling being gay a demon???

no. I'm calling being suicidal a demon.

Don't be such a suicidaphobe

I'm sure there's some gay demons out there tbh having torrid affairs with gay angels

Laural Van Ness hasn't changed out of her wedding dress since her failed wedding to Braxton Sutter. Hasn't changed her make up and the bottoms of her feet are black because she carries her heels with her. She's lost her mind and has taken to Kongo Kong who seems to listen to her.

That actually sounds like a fun, interesting storyline. Can't wait to see how tna fucks this up.

She's a real Cunt Smasher.

I am with you on this but Ric did a horrendous job of articulating his thought process.

Randomly turned on WWE Main Event...... Curt Hawkins did his thing where he coems out and challenges anybody..... then this happened:

Hm, that Aleister guy looks pretty shitty.

I like what I've seen from him so far

I only mean his looks, didn't bother watching the match.
