WWE Legend Kurt Angle Announces New Podcast - Says He 'Won't Hold Back'

Kurt Angle is about to become the latest wrestling legend to sit down weekly with podcast guru Conrad Thompson.

The Olympian proudly announced his new venture during an interview with Sports Illustrated - he'll join Bruce Prichard, Jim Ross, Eric Bischoff, Tony Schiavone and Arn Anderson on Conrad's lineup of shows. Previously, Thompson had also done a show with Ric Flair.

Angle is promising that he "won't be holding back" when it comes to deep-diving on stories from his WWE run either. That's the big lure here, after all, and he knows it. Kurt also claims that even his biggest fans will be surprised by some of the tales he has to tell.

The Kurt Angle Show will debut on 7 February "on all major podcasting platforms", but it's unclear exactly which topic Angle and Conrad will tackle first. Kurt did tell SI that he'd like to explore his long history of substance abuse issues on the podcast too.

Those personal stories could be a valuable tool for someone else's recovery, he says, and it'd mean a great deal to Angle if he was able to help someone get through.

Stay tuned for more details when they're available.
