Kurt Angle Took Massive Amounts of Vicodin Daily

Former WWE star Kurt Angle admitted to taking 65 extra-stength Vicodin per day during the peak of his struggle with addiction during an interview on the Dan Le Batard Show Friday. Angle was a six-time world champion with the WWF after joining back in 1998. Two years prior to joining professional wrestling, he won an Olympic gold medal for freestyle wrestling in 1996. Angle recalled that his struggle with addiction began back in the days leading up to the Atlanta Olympic Games after he fractured two of his cervical vertebrae at the national trial. His stint in professional wrestling was plagued by injury and various health setbacks, which eventually lead him to a painkiller addiction that spiraled out of control. After four DUIs in five years Angle was convinced to check himself into Rehab.
