WWE Releases Kurt Angle

Wow. We didn't see this coming.

For personal reasons - he's been going through a divorce, for example - Kurt Angle has actually been released by the WWE. Here's the snippet from wwe.com:

Due to personal issues, Kurt Angle has been granted an early release from his contract. WWE looks forward to establishing a new relationship with Kurt in the near future.

They better establish that!

Angle, of course, is a six-time World Champion, having also held the Intercontinental Championship and WWE Tag Team Championship; he also won the 2000 King of the Ring tournament and has been in ECW for the last couple months.
