I'm convinced now to not be so open about my lapsed wrestling fandom in this board, reading the responses so far. For me, this is shocking, I loved Kurt Angle's original WWE run, some highlights in TNA of course. I never understood why he languished in the indies for more than a year or two, that's kind of criminal. I look at the induction more as a signal that he's coming back to wrestle, maybe that will get me back into watching wrestling.
I would like to not get into a debate about drugs and shit, I just want to point out that during the '96 Olympics, Angle had Novacain shots to his neck after it broke. This was knowing about about harder drugs being banned, so all he could use was that, I guess a muscle relaxer, numb up the neck, local anesthetic. At least that's what he said.
OP being a fan I think, remember Kurt's theme? That was classic, I was listening to it a few weeks ago actually. I got into wrestling right around the time he won the World Heavyweight Championship on Smackdown in January 2006, I became a fan of him personally shortly after.
With that, I might not talk too much about wrestling again in this forum.
