Apparently, Steiner knows he is better than Angle because his
(Angle's) wife "keeps on calling him since she wants to know what it is like
to be with a real man."

You all hear Nick Bellio, Hulk Hogans son got into a really bad car wreck over the weekend???
Had to be extracated and so did his passenger. Serious injuries to both.
17 year olds have no business behind the wheel of a fast, "Drifting" kind of car. It is trouble from the first tank of gas.

Hogan Son a Speed Demon?
Was Nick Hogan going too fast and too furious?
Three days after losing control of his yellow Toyota Supra sports car and smashing into a palm tree, critically injuring his friend, Hulk Hogan's teenage son is now under scrutiny by police in Clearwater, Florida, for a checkered driving history that includes four speeding tickets racked up in the past year alone.
Per Florida driving records obtained by Tampa Bay Fox 13 affiliate WTVT, the 17-year-old Hogan?real name Nick Bollea?was nailed last September driving 105 mph in a 70 mph zone in Collier County in nearby Naples; in February, he was ticketed for driving 57 mph in a 30 mph in Dade County; then in April, he was busted for driving 106 mph in a 70 mph zone in Osceola County.
Last but not least, just two weeks ago while zooming around the city of Pinellas Park, the Hogan Knows Best star was nabbed going 82 mph in a 45 mph zone?nearly double the speed limit?and in a construction zone, no less.
As a result of those prior offenses, authorities restricted Bollea's license for six months, meaning he was only allowed to drive during the daylight hours.
While Clearwater Police spokesman Wayne Shelor declined to comment on the speeding report, pending the outcome of the investigation, he previously acknowledged that Bollea was driving at a "high rate of speed" at the time of Sunday's accident, which occurred when it was still light out.
The spokesman added that detectives were still in the process of interviewing witnesses.
The speeding revelations surfaced amid reports that he may have been drag-racing another car moments before the Supra crashed.
Frances Vitalis, a Plant City registered nurse, told the St. Petersburg Times she was on a motorcycle not far behind Bollea's car and saw the Supra and a silver Dodge Viper speeding on rain-slick roads between traffic lights.
"We knew something was going to happen," she said Tuesday. "You know that this is a bad situation and these guys are hotdogging."
Vitalis added that after the accident, she stopped and tried to get Bollea and Graziano out of the vehicle, but the Supra was so smashed that she wasn't able to open any of its doors.
The paper noted that Hulk Hogan, whose birth name is Terry Bollea, owns a 2006 silver Dodge Viper coupe that matched the description of the other vehicle, though witnesses were not able to identify the driver.
Shelor subsequently issued a statement on Wednesday saying the pro-wrestling superstar was not driving alongside the teen at the time of impact, but had shown up at the scene several minutes later, and there is so far no outright proof indicating the younger Bollea was racing.
Emergency crews on the scene subsequently extracted Bollea and his passenger, 22-year-old active-duty marine John J. Graziano, from the twisted metal and airlifted them to St. Petersburg's Bayfront Medical Center.
Bollea was treated and released the next day. However, WTVT reports that his longtime friend, who just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq, is in a coma and needs emergency surgery, but doctors have been prevented from operating due to swelling on his brain.
Graziano's grandmother was quoted by the Tampa Tribune as saying there's a chance the marine may have suffered brain damage.
Various media outlets have described both Graziano and Bollea as great friends, but also adrenaline junkies to an extent. WTVT noted that the latter had expressed an interest in fast cars and even mentioned attending stunt-driving school at one time.
In fact, in a blog entry on his MySpace page dated June 19, Bollea wrote that he was "working his way into the drifting world" and was practicing up on his skills in hopes of driving the Viper in a formula race. Under occupation, he also describes himself as a "pro drifter."
In the wake of Sunday's crash, Bollea has since posted a message thanking "everyone who has sent their support" to him.
"Right now I would like to ask all of you to focus your prayers on my friend, John," he wrote.
Bollea's sister, aspiring pop star Brooke Hogan, offered pretty much the same wishes in a post on her MySpace page.
Not taking any chances, the Hogan family has hired J. Kevin Hayslett, a Clearwater-based attorney specializing in criminal defense and drunk driving cases, to represent Bollea in the event charges are filed.
Graziano's family and close friends, meanwhile, remain by his bedside at the hospital. A prayer vigil for friends and acquaintances is scheduled for tonight in Glen Oaks Park.

expect lots of changes (suspensions, title changes) due to wellness policy breaches (ie steroid use)
10 already suspended (no names released) , 2 fired
10 already suspended (no names released) , 2 fired
Sports Illustrated has received information on the drugs and dates received by various WWE wrestlers, all of whom fall after the institution of the Wellness policy.
Based on these dates, the entire policy's credibility is shot in the sense there were detectable drugs purchased by talent through Internet doctors, a practice banned by the company's Wellness policy.
In addition, Ken Anderson (Mr. Kennedy) comes across like a complete fool because his last package was sent in February, one full year after he claimed to have gotten clean due to the Policy. Between October 2006 and February 2007, Anderson received Anastrozole (which is not a steroid, but used to counter affects of steroids such as development of female breast tissue), Somatropin (a Growth Hormone) and testosterone (an anabolic steroid).
Others listed in the article were:
Chris Benoit receiving Nandrolone and Anastrozole in February 2006.
Eddy Guerrero receiving Nandrolone, Testosterone and Anastrozole two weeks before his death.
Chavo Guerrero receiving many drugs, including Somatropin, Nandrolone and Anastrozole as late as May 2006.
Shane Helms receiveing testosterone, Genotropin (Growth Hormone) and Nandralone as late as February 2007.
Randy Orton receiving Somatropin, Nandrolone and Stanazolol as late as February 2007.
John Hennigan aka John Morrison getting Somatropin, Anastrozole, Testosterone, Stanazolol and HCG as late as February 2007.
Shoichi Funaki receiving Somatropin in March 2006.
Brian Adams received Nandrolone, Testosterone and Somatropin in December.
Charlie Haas received Anstrozole, Somatropin, Stanazolol, Nandrolone and HCG as late as January
Edward Fatu (Umaga) received Somatropin as late as December.
Darren Matthews (William Regal) recieved Stanozolol, Somatropin, Genotropin and Anastrozole as late as November.
Adam Copeland received Somatropin, Genotropin and Stanazolol as late as February. This must have included new evidence because government evidence on Copeland received by the Observer in May listed Copeland as not having received anything doctors were under investigation for in several years.
Sylvan Grenier received Somatropin, Nandrolone, Genotropin and Stanazolol as late as July 2006. Grenier has was fired by the company two weeks ago for unrelated reasons.
The company by the wording of its policy would be forced to suspend these wrestlers, aside from Benoit and Guerrero, because this would indicate flagrant violations of the policy after implementation.
The company suspended ten wrestlers, the same number as this list, two of whom, Helms and Copeland, are out indefinitely due to injuries.
Orton, Morrison, Matthews and Fatu were all key characters on television. Given the nature of the television as late as Tuesday, WWE could not have made the decision to suspend until Wednesday at the earliest, and most likely the decision was made this morning.
Interesting....Don't know when RAW was taped last night, but Umaga and Haas were wrestling.
Heard about Orton and Chavo, but hey Funky-who was the other one in the article (besides Sylvan) that got fired? It doesn't say...
Sylvan deserved to be let go anyway...he got no crowd pop.
I smell a Rey/Khali title match. That's just silly. I'm not watching it.
and...how are they gonna "angle" all those suspensions out?
VKM's got his hands full there...

Umaga got the crap beat out of him by HHH, he'll be gone for 30 days to let his wounds "heal"
I guess Regal is no longer "manager" of Raw
Morrison lost ECW title to CM Punk
Eugene got fired last week (not on list)
I think Shad from Cryme Tyme also got released
interesting that Mysterio wasn't on that list.. he had been listed as a patient of the doctor that prescribed Benoit's steroids
