TNA News: Kurt Angle apologizes for threatening WWE Champion C.M. Punk

Kurt Angle issued an apology for threatening C.M. Punk after the WWE Champion labeled TNA an "indy" promotion during a comic con appearance on Saturday. "I apologize to TNA and WWE fans for my comment," Angle wrote. "I don't expect Punk to apologize to TNA, but I'm sorry. Respect 4 The Biz."

"I didn't apologize to Punk," added Angle. "Only the WWE (and) TNA fans. Punk disrespected TNA. He Has a lot to learn about fame and responsibility. Follow Angle online at Twitter.com/RealKurtAngle.

Powell's POV: For those who missed Angle's comment, here it is: "Punk wants to say TNA is an indy league? I was on top in WWE when you were trying to get a job anywhere. It was my choice to go to TNA. If I ever see you, Punk, hide, bitch." I don't mind Angle defending his company, but he could have made his point without suggesting that Punk needs to hide from him. He did the right thing by apologizing, so end of story. If nothing else, it's good to see that his Twitter account wasn't "hacked" this time around.
