Jim. Tried to respond back the other day and my computer crashed. Maybe it was trying to tell me something. Anyway ... I believe there will be backlash on the wrestling games. Kids will try to imitate their favorite wrestlers unless someone (like their parents?) stop them. However, with today's prevalent attitude of "its not my fault ..." its just a matter of time and scope once backlash arrives. Till then ... THQI seems to be doing ok. Dwane

Wrestling debate is renewed. WWF, WCW quiet about child's death dallasnews.com ...The 3-year-old North Dallas boy died May 27 from brain swelling after sustaining a closed-head injury that doctors said reminded them of something from a severe auto accident. Dallas police initially suspected that an adult had to have been responsible until they interviewed the boy's 7-year-old brother. He revealed that he had struck his brother with a "clothesline" move - running at him and hitting him in the neck with an outstretched arm - that he had seen his wrestling heroes perform on TV. The boy's injury occurred on a carpet-covered concrete floor.... Looks like another black eye for wraasslin. I heard this report on NPR radio. Not sure if it hit the AP or UPI wires, but given the age of the kids involved, it probably did. Jim
