Kurt Angle is in custody at Allegheny County Jail in Pittsburgh and still awaiting arraignment on the multiple charges brought against him this morning. The arrest has been picked up by TMZ.com.
TNA sources believe he will be arraigned this afternoon and then will be allowed to head to Florida for the Hard Justice PPV, but are already working on alternative plans if Angle is unable to appear.
A number of TNA talents I've spoken to today were surprised by the turn of events, specifically since Angle and the girlfriend (who's name we are withholding) are currently living together in Angle's home.
There had been rumors among the wrestlers several months back that Angle had previously asked her to leave the premises, but since then they had been seen in public together. Angle had claimed in an appearance on Howard Stern that he and the woman in question were no longer together, but that could have been part of a work to play into his "romancing" of Stern sidekick Robin Quivers on the same appearance.
The big discussion among the wrestlers is how ironic this entire situation is after the issues between Angle and Jeff Jarrett over Jarrett's relationship with Karen Angle was outed on Bubba the Love Sponge's radio show. Suffice to say, a lot of people are waiting to see how this arrest may play into Jarrett's position of power with the company going forward.
