Michael Benoit talks to "Good Morning America” TODAY
ABC's "Good Morning America" has landed an interview with the father of wrestler Chris Benoit for Wednesday morning. Chris Benoit killed his wife and son before committing suicide at their home in Fayetteville, Ga. Michael Benoit will discuss the family's tragedy. He will appear on "GMA" and Wednesday's "Nightline." "GMA" airs from 7 to 9 a.m. on WFTV-Channel 9; "Nightline" airs at 11:35 p.m.ABC News said that Michael Benoit will talk "candidly" and "also share new details about what he believes may have been behind his son's actions."
An emotional HULK HOGAN is speaking out about the day he found out his teen son NICK crashed a car that injured a dear friend, who is still recovering in a Florida hospital. "Nick is doing good," Hulk says. "He's got a broken arm, some broken ribs, some neck problems and some stuff wrong with his knees but he's hanging in there. He's living at the hospital with John. He's going to be okay and John's going to be okay and we're going to move forward."
Bob sent us this link for Hogan pictures from National Wave Press Conference in Freedom, PA:
Claims that a female wrestler gave birth to a daughter Benoit recognized as his after the pair's six-month fling in Edmonton in 1986. It is understood the woman is seeking part of Benoit's estate on behalf of her daughter.

Gail Kim @ Dragon*Con Signing Report
I was at Dragon*Con and although I missed the Luchagors concert, I did pop by and see Gail Kim for a second. I told her I just wanted to say hi and I'd be getting her stuff at WrestleFanFest in San Francisco as I'd already purchased autograph tickets for that event. We talked briefly about the WFF and she says from what she can see and has been told the people booking the event are really on the ball and she thinks it'll be a lot of fun. She mentioned a "rough" signing this past weekend and hoped WFF would be better. Because Dragon*Con is mostly science fiction related, when I was around her table was pretty open,. Virgil was there as well. He had the big banner that advertised him and DiBiase, but it was just him. I got his signature last year so I just admired his antics from afar.
thanks for report....

The latest note from our dear friend Penny Banner, PLEASE keep her in your prayers....
Want to give all of you the low down on how I have been doing since my hernia operation on July 12.
Operation over just one day and ........I immediately got this strange thing called " pseudogout ". It KNOCKED ME for a loop and set all hopes of a speedy recovery out !! After six days of pure misery in the hospital, I came home... All seemed to be fine...but then I started swelling in my abdomen area DAILY...went to the doctors and both said it was normal and would go down in apx. 10-12 wks..Went again in such pain..and the same reply. Finally my third visit another doctor suggested a 'cat scan' be performed to see if there is fluid being trapped inside....AHAHHHH
Thursday the Catscan ( yes LOTS of FLUID)...Friday they drained 5 LITERS of fluid from the cavity...
YES.....I do feel MUCH better...I will see the doc again on Wed., and have them drain a different area above my left hip that has some fluid in it.
TUESDAY...I will see my Oncologist, and they will be scheduling my chemo treatments to come, as my CA125 cancer count has risen to 1900. Highest its ever been ;-(...
SO...........now you are up to date...and again, thanks for your good thoughts - prayers and wishes. Penny
