He is lying though and that can hurt people who take advice from him. 73 percs a day, no way can even the Keith Richards could handle that much dope a day. Kurt needs to stop lying. Lying tells me he isnt recovering the right way.
Kurt Angle is one of my favorite pro wrestlers of all time. People joke about perc Angle but they don't realize how close this man came to death. Me, my brother, and one of our friends(another pro wrestling fan) went to a bunch of TNA events from 2006-2009 and we saw a lot of Kurt Angle. Particularly, we went to a bunch of fan meet and greets and one for TNA Slammiversary '07 had me so scared as a fan for Kurt Angle's health. He was so doped up and out of it that he was in and out of consciousness but kept falling asleep. We could all tell Angle was high as hell and I said to my brother that I actually thought Kurt would be dead soon. I'm so glad as a fan of his that he got everything straight and is much better because if he'd kept going like he was, he'd have been another pro wrestling cautionary tale.
It makes sense tbh. I never watched TNA but as a wrestling fan, I remember - Angle's debut, Booker T's debut, and the first episode h2h vs RAW in 2010. The fact that these segments reached someone who isn't a TNA viewer shows the value of these wrestlers.
@foxsmith5718 Over 3g of acetaminophen is toxic overdose levels start at 7.5-9g over a 24 hour period. Liver damage is reversible to a point but there is a point of no return.
I am so happy he managed to sort his life out and is willing to talk about it openly it takes a really strong man to not only sort his life out and get over ardictions but to openly talk about what a mess it was what a legend
He ain’t lying about the amount. I was very near that myself. The acetaminophen in the painkillers with the alcohol have destroyed my liver. I’m recovering but it’s a long ass road
I was on Vicodin for about 6 months following a car wreck due to nerve damage. I was able to escape addiction but can easily see how one could become addicted. Happy to hear Kurt admitting and overcoming his addictions.
Vicodin is so fucking awesome. I had so many great experiences on them in 8th grade and I guess I was young enough where I didn’t develop any dependence whatsoever. Just great memories all around
It's so strange but I guess it's how we're wired. I tried painkillers, heroine, morphine and never got addicted not even in the slightest but cocaine was my vice where I wasted money, hurt lot's of people I care about and ended up in the ICU ward.
There is something that has to be stated about the human condition that is reprehensible. Kurt Angle was at his peak as an in ring performer when he was determined towards self destruction and the end in the ring. I suspect this is why rock stars and wrestlers were successfully marketed towards the launch of stated sports entertainment by Vince McMahon and the WWF. Both are trapped in their success. Both find people inclined towards self destruction. How much difference is there between a Kurt Angle and an Ozzy Osborne? They both created their masterpieces through altered states of mind, end results be damned.
All those pills were made to create addiction and they all co relate to each other. As in if you take one you are likely to take the other then the other and you already hooked. Even if they do nothing. You brain is in a state of full on need. I studied this. And i have a friend with tramadol addiction and weed. And when he quits tramadol. In 24 hr he is sweating, trembling, diarrhea, wild moods swings, bed paralysis. Cant eat, vomits, body pain that makes him cry. Yet nothing is wrong health wise. He spent days in a hospital because of the pain. And they told him is the withdrawal effect. His body is doing everything imaginable to make him take a pill. He gets to a point even acetaminophen is enough to give him a "buzz" And these pills destroy your brain, live, kidney, blader, fertility, mental state, energy, power, muscle, nerves etc. They made to keep you sick basically
I would have preferred actual surprise appearances by Angle, Ken Shamrock, or AJ Lee to the predictable ones by the Rock and Undertaker, and especially Hogan
@ not totally disagreeing. But Taker and Rock have been so frequently used that it was predictable. For the big Netflix debut, I’d have preferred something actually unexpected. Angle would have fit the bill.
The late Corey Haim claimed for years (and told me to my face) that he at his worst took 1,000 Vicodin, 1,000 Somas, & 1,000 Valium a day. Granted he eventually had a drug-induced stroke at one point. But I felt he exaggerated because I figured he'd be dead taking that much. Kurt was in a TERRIBLE state, yet was only using 2,220 a month. I can also attest that when you overuse these medicines, you blackout. You're there... but you have no memory of it. So the Kurt/Vince story could totally be a shoot.
There are a lot of wrestlers that I wish could've stayed in WWF/WWE. But when it comes down to Kurt Angle, I'm glad that he left WWE when he did. He knew his addictions were bad & this was after Eddie Guerrero's death in 2005 & before the Chris Benoit tragedy in 2007. Kurt knew that if he had stayed, he would've OD'd on drugs or (IMO) actually commit suicide. Either way, I don't know how old Kurt Angle was at the time his release, but I do know that he would've been added to the list of pro wrestlers who tragically passed away before the age of 40 & more than likely, there would've been a DSOTR episode of him. Thank god Vince McMahon released Kurt Angle when he did because we would've been living in a different timeline if he decided not to release him.
Angle had demons and he's clean so nobody has anything to say to him. When Jeff Hardy does it, it's a problem. He's been clean for 2 years and people still make fun of him. I can't stand the IWC or wrestling fans in general sometimes.
what Dutch describes is the way most pharmacies still are outside of the united states. there are hundreds of drugs you can by OTC in foreign countries that require a script in the states. every time i travel abroad i ask people what prescription meds they regularly get and see if i can find them in pharmacies during my travel
if everything Kurt was saying was true, (it's ____ true) I'm not very educated on the subject Kurt is talking about, but I'm guessing there are doctors that would say it's a miracle Kurt is still with us (just the amount of stuff he says he was taking)
Does anybody know what the house show match was Kurt got badly injured in? Was expected in a 3 way dance ladder match too on a house show wtf gm mode 2006 booking 😄
My dream mstch would always be Kurt angle peak vs Brett hart peak. Ironman match. They would kill it. Given them a whole year to build the story of whos the best of best in the ring. Master technician, the best there is the best there was and the best there would ever be vs the gold medal wrestling machine 🙏🔥
It does & it would. Same for the vicodin he mentioned. Not to mention how that much hydro or oxycodone wouldnt be much different than straight morphine & would eventually stop his breathing.
I understand stand addiction long ago I had my demons this is one of those weird deals though you need pain meds to work due to legitimate injury and they make you feel great the hard part is the bottle says four a day and you got to stick to it no matter how much you want the high or you will get in trouble 2,500 pills a day is little bit more then doc wanted you on 😂
What happened to COMMON SENSE? You mean to tell me he had ZERO CONSCIENCE of repercussions ? I'd be SCARED SHITLESS if I even would to take 1 per day for 5 days.....
I'll never believe he took that many Vicodins, (hydrocodone & tylenol) to be clear,or Percocets, (oxycodone & tylenol) for very long without either waking up dead from respiratory suppresion or,& esp when he started drinking too, slowly dying over a cpl of months from liver failure. If that's true, he's either the luckiest guy alive or from krypton..😂
When you have star power in the wrestling business. Him pulling that off wouldn't be surprising especially training in the gym. His body I can just imagine how much it was in overdrive all the time.
Stop talking about Puerto Rico like that. If it was like that in PR before, it was also like that in the United States because we let ourselves be carried away by the rules of the United States.
You're missing the point. In the U.S., illegally getting those is SUPER EXPENSIVE. But in PR, you could get anything for super cheap. Cuba & Mexico are the same.
I am proud of Kurt Angle for the changes that he made in his life. Good morning all
Mr Angle isn't dodging his bad choices and isn't making excuses. Thats a sign of someone who is truly in recovery.
He is lying though and that can hurt people who take advice from him. 73 percs a day, no way can even the Keith Richards could handle that much dope a day. Kurt needs to stop lying. Lying tells me he isnt recovering the right way.
But when Jeff Hardy does it, everyone makes fun of him.

For all of Dixie's faults (there's a lot) at least she recognized the value of Kurt Angle as literally the best star TNA would ever sign
And she seems to have gone out of her way to help him.

Kurt Angle is one of the best wrestlers of all time. Legend.
"Hey its Sports entertainment, you are safe"
Broke his nexk 3 more times
Nurse here its not always the oxycodone or the opioids that kill you its the Tylenol that cooks your liver.
Yeah, oxycodone/acetaminophen 7.5mg/325mg -
... that 325 mg is a bit, especially taking soOo many-
@foxsmith5718 Over 3g of acetaminophen is toxic overdose levels start at 7.5-9g over a 24 hour period. Liver damage is reversible to a point but there is a point of no return.

Kurt Angle: (admitting to multiple crimes)
Dutch: uh huh uh huh
Angle is a quality guy
Whoa whoa Dutch AND Kurt on the same show. I love it
I'm a huge fan of Kurt, it's crazy to hear these stories first hand. I always thought that his addiction was exaggerated due to the Perc Angle meme.
I did as well, this man is a straight beast though.... Not many people are walking around after eating thousands of pills a month.
He ain’t lying about the amount. I was very near that myself. The acetaminophen in the painkillers with the alcohol have destroyed my liver. I’m recovering but it’s a long ass road
They don’t call him Perc Angle for nothing…

Rip black bart
Vicodin was so awesome in Jr High. I’d recommend it to anyone if I didn’t know that other people were at risk of developing a spiraling addiction
All those pills were made to create addiction and they all co relate to each other.
As in if you take one you are likely to take the other then the other and you already hooked. Even if they do nothing. You brain is in a state of full on need.

It's a shame we didn't get Angle on Monday instead of Hogan. He's fought some demons for sure but he never let them turn him into one.
Without the Immortal Hulk Hogan There wouldn't be a Wrestling Industry
I would have preferred actual surprise appearances by Angle, Ken Shamrock, or AJ Lee to the predictable ones by the Rock and Undertaker, and especially Hogan
@@dkupkethey have them for later. The bigger names were necessary
@ not totally disagreeing. But Taker and Rock have been so frequently used that it was predictable. For the big Netflix debut, I’d have preferred something actually unexpected. Angle would have fit the bill.
Yeah. I needed my script filled back in the 2000s and there was a shortage of pain meds. They kindly explained that Mr Angle had dried the supply. 😛😛😛
Kurt NEVER gets enough credit. He's in my top 3 favourites. Sabu, austin, kurt. He was amazing
Great show
Am I the only one who gets livid when people make the "Perc Angle" jokes?
Yes
Pretty much
Yeah !! (Laughs maniacally and goes for the Perc Sault)
@@saicharand7765 You're an immature goof.
Nope so do I
I told my Grandmother about this and she did not believe me.
Glad to see Kurt in a better place both mentally and physically.
Great Interview!

I'm surprised Kurt never went into MMA
Vince McMahon: "I like the view!"
God damn that’s a lot of percs holllyyy
That comes out as 73 pills a day.
I did the same calculation 🤯
what Dutch describes is the way most pharmacies still are outside of the united states. there are hundreds of drugs you can by OTC in foreign countries that require a script in the states.
every time i travel abroad i ask people what prescription meds they regularly get and see if i can find them in pharmacies during my travel

Master technician, the best there is the best there was and the best there would ever be vs the gold medal wrestling machine
🙏🔥
I recently had my right knee replaced no pain medication wasn't as bad as I was expecting no need for that crap unless it's terminal
Doesn't percocet contain paracetamol? Thought this amount would be fatal
It does & it would. Same for the vicodin he mentioned. Not to mention how that much hydro or oxycodone wouldnt be much different than straight morphine & would eventually stop his breathing.
Wow scary and I’ve heard him say this before re amounts
I understand stand addiction long ago I had my demons this is one of those weird deals though you need pain meds to work due to legitimate injury and they make you feel great the hard part is the bottle says four a day and you got to stick to it no matter how much you want the high or you will get in trouble 2,500 pills a day is little bit more then doc wanted you on 😂

his liver must be trash by now
Kurt we used to drive 14 80mg oxi contins a day in us. Not at once mind you but throughout day. Talk about getting stupid.
I'll never believe he took that many Vicodins, (hydrocodone & tylenol) to be clear,or Percocets, (oxycodone & tylenol) for very long without either waking up dead from respiratory suppresion or,& esp when he started drinking too, slowly dying over a cpl of months from liver failure. If that's true, he's either the luckiest guy alive or from krypton..😂
There's a chance he was receiving placebos in with his real meds. Idk.
Kurt doesn't strike me as a liar so I have to assume he was duped somehow.
When you have star power in the wrestling business. Him pulling that off wouldn't be surprising especially training in the gym. His body I can just imagine how much it was in overdrive all the time.

He should've gotten a radiac appliance,he wouldn't have needed the pills.
Hes so full of shit. He didnt take that many percs a month
Gm
Sounds like the weed smokers of today..
So addicted and cant handle life ...at all
Except no it doesn’t in any way at all
@Rungusman69 I didn't know I had a extra set of eyes and ears .. hi nice to meet u
5:37 had me crying from laughing so hard.
Kurt - "Everyone drank in TNA"
Dutch - "Because they couldn't afford drugs"
Dude 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He said vicadin not Percocet,big difference.
I broke my neck in 1981, and I took some Vicodins. I stopped about 3 weeks later, and I just worked through it, brutal BROTHER!🫡🇺🇲
You figured it out quick. Most people just kept eating them like Pez candy.
