45:26 “instead of going to rehab, he was hired by TNA” bro just described like half the roster 💀

[@LSSJTHOR]

90% of rehabs don't work. The only good ones are the ones for the extremely rich. The rest don't care about their patients. The rehab industry is disgusting. It's not about keeping ppl alive, ITS ABOUT $$$$!

[@BetweenTheLyons]

[@kadharefinley224]

Kurt “ Perc “ Angle was INSANE. Dude was doing somersaults off the stage and moonsaults off 20FT steel cages. My favorite run from his career 💯

[@ReFLexX_ii]

Prob the most underrated run outside WWE at that time Put over Joe, AJ, Daniels, Anderson. Dope matches w/ Anderson, Jeff Hardy, Abyss.

[@MikeJr9284]

No joke, Kurt Angle's TNA run was arguably better than his WWE run, not to mention longer too. Too bad he was battling demons outside of the ring during his TNA slint.

[@AgeOfWrestling]

Perc Angle was legendary. I’m glad he’s much better now in terms of addiction but the perc era of Kurt was amazing

[@positivevibetec]

Why do you need to emphasize that he had a drug addiction you dick? didn't you ever have any issues?

[@Supreme_Cipher]

Remember when he held all the titles in TNA while holding the IWGP Heavyweight Championship? Those were great times '06-'07 Kurt Angle was different.

[@MinnaNoPeace20]

Chris Benoit being in TNA certainly would have been interesting.

[@AgeOfWrestling]

I agree. I think Benoits run would have been similar to Kurt Angles cause he took wrestling so seriously

[@yungcabbage]

@@AgeOfWrestlingtotally agree, his run would be a lot like Angles, very intense and self destructive, guaranteed he wouldn’t have survived the elements very long though with how loose TNA was back then

[@joshuathomas6512]

Daffney to me is the most heartbreaking story in wrestling history. I feel so awful whenever it comes up. RIP Daffney.

[@AgeOfWrestling]

I agree. RIP Daffney.

[@angeloinclima5052]

i never heard this story before, im literally cryng rn

[@sadp1535]

This story is so sad... also the stripping story as well... Daffney was so talented..

[@nobrkt]

I hate that it happened to her. TNA was a mess back then.. She was a gorgeous wrestler and she seemed so fired up all the time, so natural and giving it all inside of the ring. I wish TNA was better.. a lot of things happened :c

[@sadp1535]

Then you think about it, the Kurt "Perc" Angle, Jeff Hardy story has a lot to tell as well about how TNA cared about their talent mental and physical health too... Really WTF Dixie did with this Company. CM Punk and other WWE stars talked about how WWE did not care about talent health, but this "uncare" is on another level in TNA. And in the end we get stories like Daffney tragedy.

[@melasnexperience]

Ya know what? As uncomfortable as Piper calling out Russo for Owen's death might have been, I will forever insist that it's justified. The whole gimmick that led to his death was Russo's idea, and it was spite booking cuz Owen didn't want to do a more tawdry angle. I don't blame Piper for taking his opportunity to chew him out at all. Also, I knew about Daffney's death, but I didn't know the details. That poor woman, I hope her soul found some peace.

[@isitoveryet9525]

Disagree. The only reason it was said was for ratings, which makes it gross. Plus, McMahon has shot down plenty of unhinged Russo gimmicks, & he easily could’ve shot down that one too….especially since Owen was scared of it to begin with. The boss should get the blame, especially since VKM was the who had final say on everything. A lot of blame should also be on the company who did the harnesses. It could’ve been done safely, but they fd up bad.

[@mickmickymick6927]

The Daffney thing was worse according to what I've heard. she was encouraged by those backstage including Mick Foley and Vince Russo to take big bumps in order to further her career, except these bumps did serious damage to her and the company still didn't give her any push, she was always treated as a minor character. Then she took a really big bump which left her unable to wrestle but the company released her and didn't help her with medical bills. Unable to work anymore and still suffering physically, she eventually took her own life.

[@medes5597]

Daffney said Foley told her not to take such big bumps for weekly shows and if she really wanted to take such bumps, she should save them for big shows. Russo however pushed her to do more and more, claiming that he'd write more material for her and give her a push. However behind the scenes he was running her down for not being "hot" enough, and saying that all she could do was bump so they should just use her to her heat. So Russo is guilty as charged but Foley seems to have been trying to help her.

Fyi the actress who played Claire Lynch really truly left TNA because idiot wrestling fans were harrasing her online also. And it seems like the role of Clair Lynch ruined her acting career.

[@ACanOfBakedBeans]

Not wrestling fans...wrestling marks

[@medes5597]

Her acting career was ruined by her inability to act, not marks. She claims TNA lost her work, but she was playing olive oyl in the park before she was cast as Claire. I can't help but feel she wasn't overburdened with work before the Claire Lynch angle.

[@Filmation77]

@@medes5597 FYI, No casting directors want to deal with Talent than can be seen as "Problematic " on any level and Casting Directors (like any employer) looks up a Talent. And if there's red flags some talent doesn't get cast or lose jobs. CD's are flaky like that. I can kind of buy that she ran into some minor roadblocks if she tried to book certain things and Back then CD's ,unless it was the WWF, might go "Wrestling?? Eh"

[@medes5597]

@@Filmation77 I mean tna lied to her about how many people watched the show and so on. But her main story is that a casting director saw her on tna, and thought she was ridiculously over the top and rejected her outright. As bad as TNA was to talent, I don't think a guy thinking you were bad on a show is their fault. It definitely wasn't cool how they tracked her down and made her life miserable but I'm still skeptical of her story about it costing her a career. I'm not sure her career would have gone much differently without tna.

@@medes5597 #1. Unless it's a Porn ,most working actors DON'T CARE how many people watch a show #2.a Casting Director saw her performance on that episode and not cast her?

If her Auditions sucked or her whole reel wasn't good she probably wasn't brought in(I'm former Casting assistant for Theate and Film) I've never heard that story and there's actually an episode about Claire Lynch on The Wrestling With Wregret Channel that tells the full story of her time in TNA
