Quote:Kurt Angle to Miss WrestleMania X-9; Out for Roughly a Year
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 4, 2003
It has come to our attention that Kurt Angle is now set to miss this year's WrestleMania and up to a year of action thereafter. Kurt Angle's neck is in very poor shape and he will require surgery and rehabilitation.
Kurt Angle's career is not in any threat at this point, although this injury is certainly unfortunate for him, as this would be his first chance to headline WrestleMania as champion, and for WWE. With Austin and Rock back, WWE was hoping to see business boom for the next few months, but injuries of stars like Angle, Edge, Batista, and more are hurting WWE.
Kurt Angle is very disappointed about the situation and is expected to relinquish his title in some angle on TV in the coming weeks. I would not at all be surprised to see an angle related to this begin tonight at the SmackDown! tapings. No word on how Brock Lesnar will fit into WMXIX at this point.
This fucking sucks.. :fuckoff: :angry: :angry:
