Angle's frustrations directly impacted his relationship with McMahon as a result. The WWE legend sent McMahon a bunch of threatening messages towards the end of his initial run in the promotion:

"I was in bad shape. I had a lot of injuries," Angle said. "At one particular time, I had the neck injury, the shoulder, the abdominal; I had a torn abdominal muscle, a groin muscle, a hamstring. This is all at the same time. I was in really bad shape. And the painkiller problem wasn't getting any better. So, I was in a state of turmoil, and even my relationship with Vince started dwindling, and it was getting more erratic. I was, you know, calling him, leaving him messages with threats. Just, I felt out of control. I was at a bad point in my life."

"I said it before; I started lashing out at Vince, and Vince was ignoring me, which made me even more angrier," Angle added. "I would leave him threatening messages on his answer machine, on his cell phone. It just got so far out of control."

Kurt Angle and Vince McMahon eventually had a discussion, after which the Olympic Gold Medalist left the promotion.

Thankfully, Angle rebuilt his reputation outside of WWE for several years. He then returned to the company in 2017 for a Hall of Fame induction and another run as a superstar.
