WWE: 10 Real Life Wrestling Rivalries

5. Jeff Jarrett vs Kurt Angle

Two TNA stalwarts in Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett were involved in a run-of-the-mill storyline in 2008, which hardly set the world on fire. However, the following year, things got a little more interesting. My Olympic hero Kurt Angle was caught off guard when his ex-wife Karen married Jeff Jarrett in real life. That was far more captivating than anything kayfabe the two ever did together. It caused a real internet storm! If that wasn't enough, they even aired a long segment on Impact giving viewers a guided tour of the couple's house. It was like Cribs, only very disturbing. Kurt's kids were involved and could be seen on-screen calling Jarrett "Daddy". It was shameless, distasteful and downright offensive to witness. This sickly way of shoving their new marriage down Kurt's throat, and all of ours, had no place on a wrestling show. Obviously, Angle didn't react positively on Twitter, and I imagine there is still tension simmering beneath the surface to this day. I don't know about you, but I don't think I could share a room with the guy ever again, let alone work together in a wrestling company. I guess if it's good for business though, these guys will seemingly put anything aside.
