I'm used to people in and out of wrestling making ridiculous statements about the business. But I read something today that seriously ticked me off.

Danny Bonaduce, a bit-part actor most famous for his role as Danny Partridge in the 1970s sitcom, "The Patridge Family" that ended 35 years ago, is "wrestling" ten-year-plus veteran pro wrestler Eric Young on the pre-game show before TNA's Lockdown this Sunday. Bonaduce, long time wrestling fan and mark, has used his stardom to get gigs living out his fantasy to be a "wrestler" in an odd gimmick match or two over the past 15 years, dating back to a match before the 1994 WCW Spring Stampede PPV.

He's also a highly-rated radio host in the Philadelphia area, and in exchange for frequent plugs on his show for the Lockdown PPV in the area, he gets to live out his little fantasy again vs. Young this Sunday.

Now none of this is what actually annoyed me. Some yahoo non-wrestler basically walking in off the street and pretending to be a wrestler and able to hold his own with a pro.... yeah, it's not great, but we're kind of used to it in wrestling. Shane O'Mac "wrestled" Cody Rhodes on the debut edition of "WWE Superstars", after all.

But it was these comments that annoyed me greatly:

Danny Bonaduce, in building up Saturday's match with Eric Young which will air at 7:30 p.m. for free before Lockdown on the channel carrying Lockdown, said to the BWR radio show he thinks the lack of steroids in wrestling is hurting business because wrestlers are supposed to look like giants. He said he thinks usage of steroids should be mandatory for pro wrestlers and talked about his own use, saying the only problem is because your ass gets sore from shots it hurts more taking a bodyslam.

Bonaduce kept talking about how if the fight was real, he'd beat Young easily, but has to stick to the script and that it doesn't make sense for Young to lose since he's a full-time pro wrestler.
