    - The Parents Television Council has released a statement on the latest wrestling-related death where 9-year-old Derek Garland died after being dropped on his head by 16-year-old Jason Crabb. Here is the statement:

    "How many times must this happen before the entertainment community wakes up and realizes that they have responsibility for the products they produce and the messages they send to our nation’s children? How many times will TV wrestling shows be ‘excused’ as ‘just wrestling’ though they have in recent years advanced a culture of violence – violence that can, when re-enacted by children, lead to death?"
