- In his first interview since his controversial arrest, TNA star Kurt Angle spoke with thepittsburghchannel.com. Breaking into tears at one point during the interview, Angle said spending nine hours in the Allegheny County Jail after his arrest Saturday morning was the lowest point of his life.

“I’m just going to let the judicial system take its course and I’ll be vindicated,” Angle told B-94’s “Buckhead and Bubba in the Morning” radio show earlier on Wednesday. “I spent nine hours in the (Allegheny) county jail. I mean, it was degrading.”

In regards to the actual stalking incident he commented, “We got surveillance tape that shows she followed me out, and then she had me restrict the PFA by following me, so basically in a nutshell, that’s pretty much what happened.”

- ECW original and TNA star Pat “Simon Diamond” Kenny has left his role as a TNA agent, partly in protest about the Jeff Jarrett situation, somebody he holds a lot of respect for, and partly because of a class-action lawsuit against his former school teacher, a priest, accused of child abuse.
