Today's Atlanta-Journal Constitution is running an article noting that in the wake of the Benoit family tragedy, the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission is seeking to oversee professional wrestling. Commission board member Cary Ichter, who is representing Chris Benoit's father was quoted in the article as saying "I'm going to make sure we have a way to protect folks in Georgia from the shenanigans of the WWE." WWE's Attorney Jerry McDevitt responded to Ichter's statement by saying "Gee, surprise, surprise. Wonder why he's doing that?"

WWE is currently the only sports-entertainment group running in the state of Georgia and is exempt from the Commission due to a rule that exempts organizations with assets over $25 million. Ichter wants to close this rule.
