In regards to the SI story that came out last week, Randy Orton was listed as allegedly receiving eight prescriptions for six different drugs from the same two doctors whose names were on prescriptions for MLB star Gary Matthews Jr. Orton allegedly received the following steroids: stanozolol, nandrolone, testosterone and oxandrolone (better known as Anavar, a drug that produces strength gains and hardens the body but doesn't give great size gains, and it is usually used with testosterone for a full bodybuilding cycle). Also allegedly prescribed to Orton was anastrozole, a drug designed for the use of breast cancer in menopausal women. Bodybuilders use the drug because it inhibits production of estrogen when coming off a steroid cycle by picking up secondary female sex characteristics such as gynecomastia (manboobs) and water retention. The other drug he allegedly received was Clomifene citrate, which is better known as Clomid. That drug is designed for the treatment of female infertility. Clomid is also used by bodybuilders to inhibit the production of estrogen when coming off a cycle, and in particular, to prevent gynecomastia.
Dubbz4president sent in the following: "This is just an interesting story more than useful information. Take it for what its worth I guess. Last night before the show me and my bud were standing in the back of the Allstate Arena (Chicago). And saw Orton, Nitro, Mercury, and CM Punk sitting in a car before the show. They all made there way out, had a little chat, and then we saw Mercury hugging CM Punk passionatly for about 2 minutes. My first thought was that something happened, maybe someone close to him died. Later that night I found out he was released. Kind of crazy I guess."
On Howard Stern's show today, in reading a Wrestlemania ad, Stern pronounced Umaga as "U-ma-ja" and Cena as "Senna." Cena did their show last year and nobody in studio corrected him because nobody in studio knew Cena or Umaga were. Also, when the Donald Trump hair stipulation was mentioned, both Stern and Robin Quivers acted as if this was the first they had heard about Trump being on the show. Quivers said there is no way Trump is losing.

The replay for the WWE 2007 Hall Of Fame will be on April 1st on the USA Network from 10-11am.
ECW star CM Punk is featured in the new issue of Spin Magazine. In it, CM Punk discusses his musical tastes, praising Rancid, The Bouncing Souls, and Hatrebreed, among others.
WWE released several thousands of more tickets for this Sunday’s WWE WrestleMania. The tickets are standing room only, the tickets are priced at $25 each with $5 going to Detroit Lions Charities. You can purchase tickets on Ticketmaster.com, some $150 seats are still available too. With over 65 thousand tickets already sold, if WWE sell the rest of these new tickets, this will shoot the number up to 70 thousand.
No Way Out did a disappointing buyrate, with a first company estimate of just under 200,000 buys. WWE were expecting an above-average buyrate on the back of the 'dream team' main event of John Cena & Shawn Michaels vs. Batista & The Undertaker. The card also had Bobby Lashley vs. Ken Kennedy, so the main stars from all three brands were represented in keeping with the recent decision to feature Raw, Smackdown and ECW on all 16 PPVs.
That decision had arisen from Vince McMahon's recent concern over the success or lack thereof from the single-brand PPVs, which he began to express after Cyber Sunday and increased tenfold after December to Dismember. The 'big nine' stars, listed as Cena, Michaels, Batista, Undertaker, Triple H, Edge, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton and Lashley will now be on virtually every PPV, supplemented by workers on the level of Kane, Booker and Kennedy, while those on the level of Paul London & Brian Kendrick will be featured less on PPV, subsequently pushed less on TV, and be in line for fewer bonuses as a result. As well as the wrestling talent, all three announce teams are expected to work every PPV show too.
