Kurt Angle Gets Fines & No Jail Time For Reckless Driving
A judge in Virginia has ordered Kurt Angle to pay $1,500 for reckless driving. Angle got charged with reckless driving when he was arrested in September on the suspicion of drunk driving. Angle was hit with the maximum fine of $2,500 but the judge suspended $1,000 of it.
Angle will not serve any jail time and will not lose his license.
Angle's attorney plead No Contest on Tuesday. Angle was not present in court. He was originally charged with DUI but was only tried for the reckless driving charge.
Angle's lawyer says when he was pulled over for swerving on the road after a TNA live event in September, he was just texting on his cell phone. The story is that Angle was texting the promoter of the show, presumably a TNA employee, about his payment that night. The state district attorney did not believe that Angle was simply texting while driving but the judge sided with Angle's defense.

Is "The Kliq" history?
Nash made sure that was clear during his first appearance on Raw SuperShow since his brutal sledgehammer attack on the WWE’s COO two weeks ago. WWE.com is left wondering: Is The Kliq history?
Monday night in Liverpool, England, Nash took the WWE Universe back to The Kliq’s early days, when it was just “Big Daddy Cool” and HBK. More than a decade ago, a young Triple H visited the WWE locker room with his trainer, Killer Kowalski, and made an impression on the two champions, who took The Game, then an aristocrat known as Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, under their wing. They introduced him to Sean Waltman (a.k.a. The 1-2-3 Kid/X-Pac) and Scott Hall (a.k.a. Razor Ramon), and the five traveled the roads together, becoming extremely close, like brothers. With his Kliq cohorts out of the picture, Nash may have singlehandedly changed things between all of them forever...More?

Update on Sean Waltman's WWE TV Future
With Kevin Nash back on WWE TV, Sean Waltman says he would like to return, too, but WWE management (specifically Vince McMahon) isn't ready to put him back on TV due to Waltman's past health issues similar to Scott Hall's. "I would love to one day return home to WWE. I still need more time doing well. Not long ago I attempted suicide. I understand Vince's fear. You can thank WWE's Wellness Policy for me being here tweeting with you. They spent almost as much on me as they have on Scott," Waltman tweeted Monday night.
