Kurt Angle will not appear when inducted into Hall of Fame this weekend

TNA star Kurt Angle is being inducted into the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame this weekend but will not appear for his induction due to a "conflict with his obligations to TNA Wrestling," according to the WCFCourior in Waterloo, Iowa. You can read a full report about this weekend's ceremonies at http://wcfcourier.com/sports/blogs/half_nelson_half_fiction/gable-museum-to-host-pro-hall-of-fame-ceremonies/article_b37b08f6-cb00-11e1-86c8-001a4bcf887a.html#ixzz20LUDNEjy.

Shore's Slant: Angle is joined by five other inductees, including former NWA/WCW/WWE tag team star Road Warrior Animal and former WWE Champion JBL. I really hope this is Kurt using TNA as an excuse and not TNA putting its foot down. I'm not a big fan of inducting people who are still working, but that's what the Waterloo Hall does and Angle should be allowed to attend if he wants.
