Vince McMahon refuses to say whether he's used performance enhancing drugs since 1996 (updated)

Vince McMahon was asked during his interview with the Congressional Committee on Oversight and Government Reform whether he has used performance enhancing drugs since 1996, he responded, "I'm refusing to answer that question." To read the full interview, click here.
Powell's POV: Vince appeared voluntarily and was not obligated to answer the question, as his attorney Jerry McDevitt pointed out. Nevertheless, it's interesting that he answered the HGH question, yet refused to comment on other performance enhancing drugs. Update: Dot Net reader Dewey West pointed out that Vince did not answer the question regarding his use of human growth hormone. I inaccurately reported earlier that he denied using the drug, but he simply declined to answer.

Stephanie McMahon states that Hulk Hogan is a "terrible wrestler," adds Steve Austin was a bigger star for WWE

The full transcript of Stephanie McMahon-Levesque's interview with the Congressional Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has been released as part of Rep. Henry Waxman's report. During the interview, Steph stated that Steve Austin was a bigger star than Hulk Hogan.
"I don't know if you are familiar with Stone Cold, but he was probably one of the biggest superstars that we ever had, bigger than Hulk Hogan." WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt quickly added, "Hulk would disagree with that." Steph also commented on Hogan's in-ring ability. "You really don't even have to be a good wrestler," she said while explaining how wrestlers get pushed. "Hulk Hogan was a terrible wrestler, and he still is."
She brought up Hogan later in the interview and stated: "When I said Hulk Hogan wasn't a great wrestler, I didn't mean he didn't know how to do the moves, the move technically. He just had three moves. And that is all he did. That is what I meant. It wasn't an exciting technical display of reversing holds and, you know, multiple different maneuvers. It was a very basic match. Psychologically, it worked every time. The crowd got behind Hulk. You can read the full interview by clicking here.
Powell's POV: Steph seemed to regret making that statement regarding Hogan. "I didn't really realize I was on the record and wasn't thinking about that," she said at one point. She added that he was a "terrific performer, charisma oozing out of everywhere, just not a great technical wrestler." If nothing else, it's interesting that Steph referred to Austin as a bigger star than Hogan.
Well Steph when you are in your position you have to watch every word you say you big dumby lol
