TNA star Kurt Angle is set for neck surgery next week. News broke last week that Angle had a benign tumor in his neck that needed removed, and he'd miss time to take care of it. Angle said he'd miss about a month, which would take him off TNA TV for several months, as the company's tapings start in under three weeks.

You can read Angle's full statement from his website below:

"To update all of you that have asked and commented about my neck: The tumor is benign and my surgery is next week. I will be out of action for about a month and I'll be coming back better than ever! Thank you all for your incredible support. Your comments have kept my spirits high throughout this trying time. Much Love, Kurt."
