Backstage News on Kurt Angle’s Neck Surgery and Ring Return

The tumor Kurt Angle has in his neck is benign, and has actually been there since 2012. The tumor hasn’t been an issue for Kurt up until now, as it was beginning to block a nerve in Angle’s neck which was causing some atrophy in one of his arms. The surgery Angle is undergoing is not major, and he is expected to be able to return to the ring in about 3 weeks.

In other TNA news, the company has more TV tapings lined-up for the end of this month. Initially, TNA had plans to tape several One Night Only PPVs at the July tapings, however those plans have been scrapped and the company will only be taping Impact Wrestling. TNA will reportedly be taping TV through November or December of this year, and most of the taping dates will feature afternoon and evening sessions.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.
