Kurt Angle return, WWE and Al-Areebi issue statement on racism allegations, Gunner responds

Kurt Angle has been advertised back

- Following the recent revelations by Kurt Angle about his future, TNA has announced that Hall of famer Kurt Angle make his in-ring return at a live event in Salem, VA on October 3. Angle has also been advertised for the upcoming TNA PPV Bound-For-Glory, though his opponent hasn’t been confirmed yet.

- We had reported on how online posts of a racist nature were traced to WWE NXT talent Jasmin, whose real name is Nhooph Al-Areebi, from a few years ago. Following the discovery, Jasmin had gone on to delete her Twitter account.

Following the events, WWE issued the below statement:

“WWE conducted a thorough investigation and has determined that Nhooph Al-Areebi’s (aka Jasmin) Twitter account was used without her knowledge when she was 16 and 17 years old. Jasmin remains apologetic for any offensive remarks that were made.”

Jasmin commented, “Unfortunately, I used poor judgment sharing my Twitter account with someone else. I am truly sorry for any offensive remarks that were posted.”

- We had an article yesterday about former TNA star Gunner allegedly being involved in an attack on a fan at a PWX indie show. The attack was said to stem from Gunner’s unhappiness over the said fan’s social media posts.

Gunner responded to the alleged incident with the following post on Facebook:

Heres the “report” from a dirt sheet obviously bashing me.In 15 years i have never touched a fan. In 15 years i have never let a Chant get me mad or angry or what ever it says. The “dixie”s reject” Chant was awesome and i used it to better the promo and story. Im loving all the backlashing here from people that wasn’t even there. I feel its time to protect myself and say something. Will i apologize? no because fans need to know their boundaries. If you watch i shoved this guy Adrian Rohr back with my boot. This isn’t the first time that PWX has had issues with him. Ask Billy Brash, ask Brian Kanabroski who runs PWX. Do i care that he has bashed me using his keyboard at home? NO. I still lay my head down at night on a pillow that i worked hard to pay for. Do i care that Thomas Simpson and Greg Price trash me? No. i remember a few years ago how much they loved and praised me for my hard work. I still don’t understand the hatred these 2 have for me but OL well. Ask Abel Adams about me. He has been there when a fan rushed the ring towards me. I will protect myself. I have way more saying i did the right thing as Rohr came towards the ring and slapped the mat while throwing me the finger. The seats that night where 8 to10 feet back from the ring. I will leave it at this. I am a professional, regardless of opinions, and i will stand up for myself and this business. I have enough emails, pictures and reliable sources and info to prove there have been more than this incident involving this fan. God bless and thanks to all my supporters and to my haters……Thanks even more cause you make me work harder. Until next timeyours trulyGunski
