The reason Angle left WWE was that he loves popping painkillers too much, and refused to go into rehab. It wouldn't be the biggest surprise if he died early too. Agree that he would be in serious trouble in wwe though.
Angle asked Vince for time off in order to heal up properly as he was doing the painkillers in order to keep working as they wanted. And he then got addicted.
Now with TNA he just needs to do iMPACT! which is taped about 3 or 4 shows in advance, PPV's, some house show tours (they alternate who is on them), and their European tours. So he has time to rest up as he can go home instead of staying on the road all the time.
