He may have been reckless ... but wrestling champ Kurt Angle will not be prosecuted for drunk driving stemming from a September arrest in Warren County, Virgina.

TMZ has learned ... prosecutors have reviewed the case, and have agreed to reduce the charge to misdemeanor reckless driving.

We're guessing they finally caught a glimpse of the police report, which showed Angle's blood alcohol level measured in at .06 on the night he was arrested ... which is under the legal limit in VA, .08.

If convicted, Angle still faces up to 12 months behind bars and up to $2,500 in fines.

Wrestling superstar Kurt Angle says his blood alcohol level was WAY under the legal limit when he was arrested for drunk driving this weekend ... and now TMZ has a police document that seems to back up his story.

We've obtained the Certificate of Blood Alcohol Analysis ... issued by the State of Virginia ... which shows Kurt's B.A.C. was .06 at the time of his arrest. The legal limit in VA is .08.

The TNA Wrestling champ has released a statement on the matter ... saying, "I did not believe my driving behavior was reckless or otherwise improper."

He adds, "I fully cooperated with the officer who clearly recognized me while performing his standard procedures. Subsequent to the stop, I was asked to submit to a breathalyzer test and passed. I do not believe that I broke any laws and will be entering a plea of not guilty in response to any pending charges."

As TMZ previously reported, troopers pulled over Angle's car after receiving a tip from another motorist ... who claimed the wrestler was driving erratically.

Angle explains, "I was returning from an iMPACT Wrestling show in an unfamiliar place, late at night and was trying to find the exit for my hotel."

Former WWE superstar Kurt Angle was pretty damn calm for a guy who claims he was wrongly arrested for drunk driving over the weekend -- telling photogs at LAX, "Of course" he'll fight the case.

As TMZ first reported, the TNA Wrestling champ was arrested for DWI in Virginia on Sunday -- but his attorney is adamant the wrestler was NOT DRUNK ... and actually PASSED a breathalyzer test.

Kurt Angle apparently believes he's been FRAMED in connection with his drunk driving arrest Sunday morning ... this according to sources connected with the famous wrestler.

As TMZ first reported, Angle was popped in Virginia after he was allegedly seen driving erratically on I-66.

But Angle's lawyer tells TMZ ... his client passed a breathalyzer test.  The lawyer tells us, "We understand Kurt will be entering a plea of not guilty in response to any infractions and/or offenses."

Sources connected with Kurt tell TMZ ... cops are just trying to make an example of him.

The cops are mum, saying the case will be tried in court. 

FYI ... someone who is not legally drunk (i.e., someone who passes a breathalyzer test) can still be arrested for driving under the influence if drugs or alcohol -- even minimal amounts -- impair the driver's ability to navigate the road.
