WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has revealed he used to send Vince McMahon explosive texts that could have easily offended the WWE Chairman in 2006. The five-time WWE Champion claimed he was working on painkillers at the time, with a lot of the WWE talent out injured.

On the latest episode of 'The Kurt Angle Show' on AdFreeShows.com, he revealed the texts were sent because the WWE Chairman was not willing to take him back.

"Well, up until 2006, we were pretty close, but my behavior became erratic," Angle said. "I started behaving out of control, sending Vince text messages, threatening to beat him up. I had the painkiller problem that nobody knew about.

"I was injured so much, you know, and I couldn't take any time off because a lot of the other talent were injured. So, a lot of top guys. So, I was kind of there to keep the product intact, and mentally I was just losing it, and I was texting Vince more and more. He wouldn't respond, so that would piss me off even more. After I joined ECW, it got even worse."

However, Kurt Angle did patch things up with Vince McMahon before returning to WWE in 2017. He worked as the RAW General Manager and was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He retired from in-ring action at WrestleMania 35.
