The brother of WWE legend Kurt Angle made some news over the weekend, but it wasn’t for something he did good, rather it could have him doing some time behind bars.
Eric Angle got himself arrested on Saturday after he spotted up a youth wrestler by the neck and tossing him to the mat like a rag doll.
A 6-second clip posted to Facebook shows Eric Angle picking up a 12-year-old boy during Saturday’s Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling Championships. It’s unclear what lead up to the moment, but once it got to this point, it really doesn’t matter.
What matters is that Angle was arrested by University of Pittsburgh police on a charge of simple assault after the incident.
“No one should ever take their kids Angle Elite Wrestling,” a caption accompanying the video read, referencing Angle’s gym in Pittsburgh.
Angle, who last wrestled for the WWE in 2003, explained how distraught he is about the entire sitaution.
“I should have just walked away and let him get thrown out,” Angle told the station. “Instead, I’m the one who embarrassed myself even more.”
