Kurt Angle Thanks Fans for Retiring 'Perc Angle' Nickname

Kurt Angle has expressed gratitude that fans have stopped using the nickname 'Perc Angle,' a term that originated during his struggles with drug addiction in TNA Wrestling.

In recent interviews, he acknowledged the fans' positive response to his request to retire the nickname, stating it reflects true support from his fanbase. He appreciates that they have shifted to referring to that time in his career as 'Peak Angle,' which he finds more uplifting. Angle's journey emphasizes the importance of recovery and the impact of community support during difficult times. He also mentioned his willingness to induct John Cena into the WWE Hall of Fame in the future.
