Former WWE superstar, TNA wrestler, and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle has struggled with addiction over the years, as many in the pro wrestling industry do. While fans are still hoping for the wrestler to make a comeback to WWE, where he hasn't wrestled since 2006, Angle has another project he's launching in january: an app to help addicts in their recovery. Produced through a partnership with Sober Network Inc., AngleStrong will help recovering addicts stay in recovery by allowing them to check in each day, set goals and reminders, and view reports. Here's some technical and psychological mumbo jumbo from a press release:

FlexDek, the platform AngleStrong will be built on, is an adaptable platform designed to accommodate the development of mobile apps targeting medical, behavioral and physical diagnoses. Apps designed using FlexDek have a similar goal – to increase patient compliance with identified protocols and work to reduce relapse that often requires re-hospitalization. The FlexDek platform achieves this by offering simple yet comprehensive resources for users on their mobile phone, such as surveys, reports, goals and communication tools. Multiple services are integrated into one easy-to-use system, meeting the needs of various populations at most educational levels. As an added benefit, the FlexDek platform can be personalized to provide information and support that will be most beneficial to a user, allowing them to effectively manage their health and change unwanted and harmful behaviors.

But a picture is worth a thousand words (in this case, 2000 words, since there are two pictures posted by Angle to Instagram):

A website hasn't been created for AngleStrong, but you can follow its progress on Facebook. The app is set to come out on January 15, so try not to relapse before then.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
