- From Associated Press:
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is allowing a lawsuit to proceed against Hustler Magazine over decades-old nude photographs of a woman that were published after she was killed by her husband, wrestler Chris Benoit.
The court turned down Hustler’s appeal Monday. Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and their son before committing suicide in 2007.
Hustler published 20-year-old nude photographs of Nancy Benoit after the deaths gained international attention.
- The biggest reaction backstage to the recent releases was that of Scott Armstrong. He is of course a long time referee from the WCW days; so he had lots of supporters in the locker room. There’s a feeling that there might be more to the story.
However a report last year suggested that WWE were opting to release senior referees because they demanded higher paychecks that the younger refs. This could be the case in Armstrong’s case.

WWE star Mickie James was interviewed by Country Music website www.the9513.com. Highlights from the interview:
“Disassociating” herself from WWE with her country music career: “I do want to keep them separate but I think one hand feeds the other. I worked really long and hard to get at the top of my game at wrestling, so I can’t deny that, it’s part of who I am. But why not embrace it? It’s part of who I am and what I do and there’s a huge fan base there of my fans and they are all really excited about this adventure for me. I’d like for them to share the journey with me.”
Whether there’s a crossover between country and wrestling: “Oh yeah. I think the same rings true for NASCAR and country fans. Our demographic is very similar. I know that there are tons of country fans that are wrestling fans and tons of wrestling fans that love country music. So, I definitely think so.”
What James wants people to remember about her: “That I’m real. What you see is what you get. I don’t try to put on this phony image of like this is who I am, or this is like some image. I’m just the girl next door, and at the end of the day, I’m just Mickie James. These are just accomplishments in my life that help make me who I am. You can have whatever you want in your life if you really strive for it.”
What Led to the Country Music Venture: “I was already toying with the idea, but it was one of those things where we’re already touring 250 days out of the year, where am I gonna find time to do this? I really want to, and if you have enough passion to do something you find a way to do it. I was driving to the gym one day, and this song popped into my head and I pulled over and I wrote it in like five minutes. I sat on it for about a week because I thought God doesn’t just throw these kind of things in your pathway without a reason for it. I called my manager Sherry up and said “Let’s do it!” and the journey started.”
