Major Update on Karen Angle/Jeff Jarrett Situation
The following is from PWInisder:
*PWInsider.com can confirm that Jarrett and Karen Angle are romantically involved, as was revealed on Bubba the Love Sponge last week. As I noted yesterday, it’s been an oft-mentioned rumor among wrestlers for many, many months.
*PWInsider.com has also confirmed that Jarrett and Karen Angle are not living together, nor have they ever lived together. That aspect of the Bubba call was incorrect.
*I was told by several people in the last 24 hours that Kurt Angle was aware of the relationship dating back to last fall when he was feuding with Jarrett.
*While TNA has declined to publicly comment on the situation, I am told that Jarrett’s “time off” was a decision made by Jarrett, not something forced upon him by Dixie Carter.
*The decision was made after issues arose between Kurt and Karen Angle in regard to the custody of their children. The word among people at the TNA tapings is that Jarrett removed himself from his duties at TNA while that situation is ongoing. Until those issues became heated, Jarrett and Angle had been able to co-exist backstage.
*In regard to stories of Angle trying to get the TNA creative reigns, those within the company I spoke to today shot that idea down, feeling that it wouldn’t happen. There is no major push for a new creative direction or team at this time.
*A number of people in the company would love to know who called the Bubba the Love Sponge show and “outed” the situation and there are some in the company that believe that the entire scenario was staged to out the issues. Why someone would do that, I couldn’t begin to speculate on.
