Wrestling Media Update

In the 9/10 National Enquirer, there is a claim that Chris Benoit had a six month relationship with a female wrestler in Edmonton in 1986, which resulted in the birth of a daughter. According to the story, Benoit never denied he was the father, and now the mother and daughter want to claim part of Benoit's estate.

HBO dropped the idea of doing a follow up story to their 2003, even though the network plugged the piece on air. We previously noted that HBO had wanted to interview Konnan, but got cold feet when TNA forwarded a letter from Konnan. Hulk Hogan was contacted about an interview, but he turned them down. Vince McMahon also wasn't interested in talking with HBO.

NBC is working on a piece for a special one hour "Dateline." The piece may focus on the Benoit tragedy, but that could change.
