5 Broken relationships that were brutally turned into pro wrestling storylines

#3 Kurt Angle and Karen Jarrett

Dating Kurt Angle's ex-wife: not advised.

After Kurt Angle and his wife divorced, something unlikely happened — she wound up falling in love with another wrestler, who happened to be Angle’s co-worker: Jeff Jarrett. Angle was reportedly incensed that Jarrett would date his ex-wife and this led to real life tension backstage.

Cooler heads would prevail in the end as Angle and Jarrett wound up working a program together in the aftermath, playing off of real-life events.

While Angle and Jarrett put their differences aside to be professional in the ring, the program nonetheless must have been difficult, particularly given their respective spots in the company, with Angle as arguably the biggest name in TNA, and Jarrett a company co-founder and off-and-on power broker.
