Everyday is like Thanksgiving to former WCW/WWE wrestler Bill Goldberg -- because according to him, dude eats a 1/2 pound of turkey bacon ... every single day!

Chickens don't get a free pass either, he also downs 10 egg whites with his breakfast.
Goldberg is outspoken about his Jewish lineage -- hope all that meat's kosher.

Former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle dodged a bullet after his ex GF said he violated a court order by following her to a Starbucks and staring her down.
Angle -- who appeared in a Pittsburgh court yesterday -- was also cleared on charges of possessing human growth hormone ... which cops say they found in his car when they arrested him outside the Starbucks last month.
Angle convinced the judge he had a prescription for HGH to treat neck injuries -- he broke his neck back in '96.
Kurt still faces assault charges for allegedly beating the crap out of the ex-GF -- fellow wrestler Rhaka Khan. Rhaka had obtained a protective order against Angle nearly two hours before the Starbucks incident.

WWE superstar Big Show is about 7' tall and weighs 485 lbs., so why did he feel the need to cheat -- or "improvise to win" -- at a thumb wrestling match with our 5'5" 125 lb. photog?

Mega-huge wrestler The Big Show lied when he said he was leaving wrestling for boxing, according to a new lawsuit.
The suit claims the 7' tall, 500 pound behemoth cut a deal with SoBe Entertainment in 2007 to become a boxer. SoBe claims they paid Mr. Show $84,000 a month and fronted him an extra $1 mil for a house.
But SoBe was horrified when B.S. suddenly jettisoned his fighting plan and rejoined the WWE in 2008. To add insult to injury, Show's WWE comeback match was against a boxer -- Mr. Floyd Mayweather.
SoBe alleges Big Show conspired with the WWE to ace them out of its deal.
By the way, the Mayweather/Big Show match grossed the WWE $31,000,000, according to the suit.

The 21-year-old son of wrestling legend Ric Flair was arrested in North Carolina on Sunday after Charlotte police say they found heroin in his car.
Richard Fliehr was booked on felony possession of narcotics along with charges of driving while impaired and driving with a revoked license, WSOC is reporting. Fliehr bonded out of jail on Sunday.
This isn't the first time the Nature Boy's boy has been in trouble with the law -- back in March, he was also arrested for driving while impaired.
Flair's daughter, Ashley, was arrested last year for fighting with Ric and a police officer. Ric didn't press charges, but Ashley was charged with assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.

Turns out that fight between Mickey Rourke and Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania may not have been completely fake after all.

Mickey complained to our photog at LAX that he recently broke his left hand -- which dealt the knockout blow to Jericho -- while in Texas.
So Mickey either broke it at Wrestlemania -- which was held in Houston a few weeks back -- or the cast-less actor was just pulling the wool man-panties over our eyes.

The hilarious and amazingly talented Carrot Top was spotted in Vegas over the weekend -- doing his best routine: showing off his muscles. And his Marlene Dietrich eyebrows!

The prop comic was spotted comparing his massive guns with some D-list wrestler. Top's arms are bigger than the wrestler's! And his makeup is better! Maybe Carrot should consider a career in wrestling? He could be one of those guys who wears a mask -- just like now!
This would keep him from being mistaken for Kathy Griffin!
