Kurt Angle shares some unfortunate news about his brother, Eric.
Eric Angle was used several times on WWE television as a body double for his brother, Kurt Angle when the occasion arose that Kurt needed a reason to get out of a dire situation in storylines.
Most notably, Eric Angle was used to distract The Undertaker at Survivor Series in 2000 to allow Kurt Angle to roll up the American Bad Ass without needing to actually wrestle him. For a brief period of time, Eric Angle was also training to become a professional wrestler himself.
Unfortunately, Kurt Angle has taken to social media to share some dire medical news about his brother.
On Instagram, Kurt Angle revealed that his brother is currently in need of a kidney transplant and also revealed that he is not a match.
Received a bit of bad news. My brother and best friend in this whole world, Eric, is in need of a kidney transplant. Obviously, it goes without saying how huge of an ask this is, however, if there is by chance a self-less individual out there willing to give Eric a second chance at life please go to livingdonorreg.upmc.com to register.
Eric is my older brother by one year and we have grown up like twins our whole lives. We are often confused for being one another when we are out and about. Needless to say, we are very close. Eric has been married for 16 years to his wife Felicia. They have two stepchildren together along with a pet Bulldog named Libby.
I have been tested recently and I have been told I am not a match so I am trying to do my part in finding a way to get Eric new lease on life. So if anyone is willing to help, appreciation and gratitude are expressed in advance for making such a generous offer.
