Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ TNA World Champion Arrested

TNA champion Kurt Angle was arrested this morning after a female TNA star he was involved with (and I believe was sharing a home with), who had taken out an active order of protection against him spotted Angle allegedly following her while she was at a Starbucks today.

According to a source at the Robinson Township, PA police department, Angle was pulled over after the woman he allegedly stalked called police.

The TNA champion was found carrying "a capped syringe" and "vials of (Human Growth Hormone) Hygetropin" in his car", according to the source. Angle claimed he had a valid prescription for the HGH.

Angle has been charged with driving with a suspended license (stemming from his refusal to take a breathalyzer test during his 2007 DUI arrest, which was an automatic suspension), illegal possession of the HGH, breaking an order of protection and harassment. He is currently awaiting arraignment.

The identity of the female star is being kept confidential, although it should be easy to figure it out as he's mentioned her publicly in media appearances in the past, giving the impression they were no longer together. The woman in question is not Kurt's ex-wife Karen Angle.

I am told the Pittsburgh media will likely go with the story tonight on their evening newscasts.

Angle is scheduled to main event tomorrow's TNA Hard Justice PPV against Matt Morgan and Sting.

KTLA is reporting that the female that Kurt Angle was arrested in conjunction with today was Trenesh Biggers, aka Rhaka Khan. The story also stated that Biggers, who told police that Angle had previously abused her, had filed a protection from abuse order against him that was served earlier on Saturday morning.

The story added that, "Angle told police that he wasn't stalking Biggers, claiming he was looking for a hotel where he could stay since he was barred from his home where Biggers also resides."

I was wrong about Stink winning!

This was written by Dave Meltzer "I can't imagine many promotions in history not taking the title from Angle given the situation over the weekend. He'd be suspended for sure from WWE, and very possibly fired. In TNA, he's world champion. Unfortunately this attitude doesn't guarantee, but does increase the odds of something bad on TNA's watch because of ignoring even the most blatant warning signs."

So Kurt Angle gets accused of something -- accused, not convicted -- and people called for him to be stripped of the title, fired, executed, etc. Ben Roethlisberger got accused of rape and everybody defended him and he still got to play, and nobody said a word about it. Anyone care to explain that?

Fair enough as there is always two sides to every story. That said, Angle has had his share of problems over the last few years. This aspect of Raka Khan was created in part by himself.

Anyway, I'm waiting for him to become a MMA fighter

I don't disagree with you. I think they should have taken the belt off of Angle. I don't think they should have suspended him, fired him or anything that drastic, but at the same time, they shouldn't have him as the face of their company. Of course, that's also partially because I don't have much use for the 40+ crowd and would much rather see TNA build around AJ Styles.

Like I said, I just find it disturbing that the Internet community was calling for Angle's head, while everyone defended Roethlisberger and said the girl in that case was just looking for a payday.
