Current RAW GM Kurt Angle recently spoke with Addiction Professional. As most of you are aware, Angle dealt with his own addiction issues during his time in the WWE. The WWE Hall Of Famer praised the company’s wellness policy & stated that Chairman Vince McMahon wanted to help him get treatment.
Here are the highlights:
Angle On WWE’s Wellness Policy:
“WWE has a great wellness policy now. You have to pass physicals through WWE doctors, not your own. But back then, I was convincing my doctor to get me back as soon as possible. As long as you were cleared by a doctor in 2003, WWE was OK with it. Now, they have their own doctors you have to go through. I rushed back in there long before I should have. That was my own fault, talking my doctor into clearing me.”
Angle On Vince McMahon Helping Him:
“I thought I was a liability to that company, and I think he felt that way. He was trying to help me, and I didn’t want his help.”
