This might be somewhat tenuous, but there's no denying it - Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett are related. Just not by blood.

The pair worked with one another for years in TNA, becoming friends in the process. But after Angle's wife Karen left him in 2009, Double J had no reservations about hooking up with the Olympian's former spouse. The pair married in 2010, as Jarrett became the step-father to Angle's two children.

Because this is wrestling and boundaries of good taste and tact don't apply, the love triangle was soon adapted for an angle on Impact!. As extra fuel to the fire of the duo's ongoing tussle, cameras were invited into the Jarrett home, highlighting their perfect family life, whilst Angle was made out to be a deserting father.

Angle found the segment personally distasteful - or at least claimed as such to draw publicity - but the storyline persisted anyhow, culminating in an on-screen wedding for Jarrett and his belle. Wonder how he felt about the illegitimate son storyline with Jason Jordan?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
