Kurt Angle claims Chris Benoit told him he was going to snap, buries Shawn Michaels and Triple H

Kurt Angle claims in an interview with the UK Sun that Chris Benoit told him a year before the murders that he was going to snap: “About a year before what happened I was talking to Chris—and they (WWE) were running him ragged—and he pulled me aside and said: ‘Listen, I’m ready to snap.’ And I could see it in his face, it wasn’t like a normal: I’m ready to snap, I’m really run down.’ He was like looking at me real intense like he was going to kill me.
“He got some time off but when he came back they ran him ragged again and he ended up getting concussion, brain damage, and somewhere along the line he did snap. But everybody wants to blame it on WWE and Vince McMahon and it’s really not their fault.”
Angle also commented on Shawn Michaels and Triple H: “Triple H obviously wanted to bash me because I was a better wrestler than him and I deserved to be in the top spot that he was in but he was never going to give up, he’s Vince’s son-in-law. I had to deal with that stuff all the time.
"I’d wrestle Shawn Michaels and I’d get a little rough with him, then I’d get heat from Vince McMahon because I beat up on Shawn too much. So I’m like: ‘Well, you know what, I’m tired of the two long-haired sissies. If they can’t go up against me then don’t put them up against me.’” To listen to the full interview, visit the UK Sun.
Powell’s POV: Angle criticizing WWE for running Benoit ragged, yet not blaming them for the murders is consistent with what he said earlier in the interview about his own painkiller addiction. Kurt definitely speaks his mind in the interview. There’s plenty of over the top pro-TNA commentary, but it’s a good interview that will definitely get people talking.
