The Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission has delayed a decision on whether to regulate pro wrestling. About 70 current and former wrestlers and their promoters voiced their opposition to the proposed regulations at the commission meeting yesterday. The board decided to delay consideration of the issue for 60 days. Changes could include requiring having paid medical personnel on hand at events, banning threats toward the audience, and regulating the use of grease on wrestlers’ bodies.

Details emerge in pro wrestler's death
Police have released more information on the deaths of pro wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and son.
Investigators say Benoit strangled his wife Nancy and smothered his 7-year-old son Daniel over the weekend at their Fayetteville home. They say Benoit hanged himself Monday in his weight room.
Benoit’s friends and family reported receiving strange text messages from Benoit early Sunday morning. Authorities say they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor.
The 40-year-old Benoit was a native of Canada, and had maintained a home in Atlanta since the time he was with now-defunct World Championship Wrestling.
