Kurt Angle Talks WWE Blocking TNA In Pittsburgh, Being Totally Healthy, Tonight's Impact

Kurt Angle recently sat down with CBS Pittsburgh. Here are some highlights from the interview.

On TNA's upcoming event in his hometown: "This is real special for me because this is kind of my homecoming. Due to some issues with the other company [WWE] we couldn't really book any venues in Pittsburgh. The Kovalchick Center is the perfect place for TV and we've been there before, this past year so Indiana, PA is the place we're going to have it. If it all goes well, God willing, we'll be back in the next six months and do it all over again. But, it's a great live show. This is the fourth one we've done so far since we decided to go on the road. We've done San Antonio, Chicago. We're going to do Boston, Slammiversary next month. We did Jonesboro, Arkansas so they've been very successful. We expect this one to be as well. So, we're on the road for good now. No more in studio at the Universal Studios and Disneyland, Disney World. We need a fresh crowd. We need a fresh crowd every week if we're going to do this right."

His health: "I'm good. I'm 100 percent healthy. It's the first time I've felt this way in years so I'm ready to go. I've got a lot of stuff coming up for me and I'm just happy to be here in Pittsburgh. At least I get to stay at home and eat every night for the next two nights. Traveling so much gets to ya and it's good to be able to be at home and stay at home."
