Culture Kurt Angle: I'm Grateful Fans Have Dropped 'Perc Angle' And Are Using 'Peak Angle'

(L/A)
For years, fans called Kurt Angle "Perc Angle" due the drugs he was taking, which he admitted being addicted to, during his time in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling.
Angle recently stated that the nickname hurt his feelings, even though the fans meant it as a term of endearment. After Angle's comments, fans have dropped the nickname and gone with "Peak Angle."

Speaking to Jorge Alonso of Bro Bible, Angle was asked about fans dropping the nickname.
“Thank you so much. I was really pleasantly surprised that they responded that way. It makes me know that I have true fans out there that really enjoyed my career and loved me for what I did. I’m just grateful that they’re going to drop the name Perk Angle. It reminds me of a dark time in my life, and it’s something that I don’t want to have to deal with it anymore. I dealt with it already, and it’s behind me. Hearing Perc Angle just makes me think I’m known for that. It was not cool. I’m just glad that they’re now using Peak Angle, instead I’m very grateful for that," he said.

I was not aware of this nickname but now any time I see his name come up for any reason I will think of Perc Angle and laugh. Thank you for writing this article and informing us of this hurtful nickname he doesn't want to ever be called for any reason. My heart breaks for poor Perc Angle, aww.

A bunch of reddit and IWC smarks were the one who said it was hurtful and to stop using it.

All Kurt said was that he appreciates the memes/sentiment but it reminds him of a dark period in his life. He didn't out right say "Stop it you meanies".

Then the same faggot smarks said we should use hecking wholesome chungus Peak Angle. It's all astroturfed.

You can use either one but you're a faggot if you say you can't use Perc Angle.

Man is an absolute legend with or without that period.

"You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try!
So Samoa Joe, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See Joe, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice."

The brief reference to Angle in the Steiner math meme is literally 100% of what I know about the man.
