From WWE.com:
Six-time World Champion Kurt Angle has been granted an early release from his contract due to personal issues.
HOLY CRAP!!!
Angle released
Aug. 25, 2006Due to personal issues, Kurt Angle has been granted an early release from his contract. WWE looks forward to establishing a new relationship with Kurt in the near future.
The only Olympic gold medalist in WWE history, Kurt Angle arrived in 1999 and quickly became one of the most decorated champions in sports-entertainment history. “The Wrestling Machine” is not only a six-time World Champion, but also held the Intercontinental Championship and WWE Tag Team Championship; he also won the 2000 King of the Ring tournament. Recently joining ECW, Angle’s unmatched intensity was rivaled only by his technical and athletic in-ring prowess.
Wow, this is huge, I hope that things are ok with Kurt Angle and that he comes back sooner rather than later.
