Lets please not compare Kurt Angle with drug addicts. He had a problem with perscription pain meds, hardly the same as a recurring drug habit.
Yeah well supposedly pain meds is all that guys like Curt Henning and Davey Boy were on too and all those did was eventually lead to health problems that killed them.
But hey who cares about that, right? Wouldn't want Kurt and his problems lumped in with others who have other problems.

Big time? Really?
To my knowledge, he's been arrested for drunk driving one time, and those charges were ultimately dropped. He was also arrested one time for "operating a vehicle under the influence" and plead guilty to that even though he wasn't found operating the vehicle.
Hardly seems like an alcohol obsession..
If you can't drink without having to drive as well that doesn't necassarily make you an alcoholic or obssessed with it. I agree.
It just makes you stupid.

Kurt has issues..I think there was a domestic problem with Karen...and he has physical problems with his neck...same as Edge, Cena. He's a great wrestler/athlete. It was a big loss for WWE when he left. He had alot of problems though. Still does.
Yeah I remember reading about the physical abuse thing. Now that doesn't necassarily mean it happened, I am not niave I know that those complaints can be false but I generally give the benefit of the doubt to the woman until proven false.
Kurt has issues and he knows he has issues which is why he supposedly wanted out of his WWE deal in order to get them dealt with.

I'm not too sure that'll happen, he may have problems but as far as I know its not heroin/oxy/ any of those types. Its crystal meth, and i'm far from an expert lol(know nothing) but I don't ever hear about people dieing from crystal meth or pain killers.
He has his problems and most likely will never be vice free, but there are wrestlers doing far worse and it gets far less attention. Jeff's popularity and the amount of times he has ****ed up gets him alot more attention, but WWE doesn't suspend for weed(they drug test 4 times a year, and the fine for weed is $500.. Next to nothing when nearly all the guys are pulling 6 figures plus), if I had to guess i'd reckon more than half that roster smokes weed.
Any of those drugs, outside of maybe weed, if you abuse them is going to cause you a great deal of harm and eventually kill you.
And jeffs pain killer problems will eventually kill him. That was reportedly a big part of the issues that caused the deaths of Curt Henning, Davey Boy, and maybe even Brian Pillman.
Pain killer abuse doesn't do anyone any favors, especially over years of doing it.

That's quite a huge assumption. I doubt not even close to half the roster smokes weed. Also, the stereotype of all wrestlers being known as party animals during their careers is overblown because of a few.
Agreed.

Then its opinion against opinion, but i bet if we looked at the roster right now and counted how many guys are doing illegal drugs right now, the number wouldn't be close to half.
I agree with you again here. I would be shocked to find it's anywhere near half.
