WWE PPV Tonight, Benoit Mentioned On New Broadcast, Billy Corgan Pitches New Developmental Territory

WWE slowly easing Benoit’s name back in the business?

Maybe enough time has passed where its okay to mention his name again? I for one am sick and tired of wwe pretending Chris Benoit never existed.

There's no doubt about it that what Benoit did was a horrible, unforgivable act and I can fully understand WWE wanted to distance themselves from him, but I don't agree with retroactively removing him from the footage he appeared in. Maybe they're just not as diligent because Linda's not in a political campaign and can't have it used against her.

Despite the horrible tragedy, Benoit left behind two children who no longer have any parents. They have done nothing wrong and, much like WWE did when Eddie Guerrero died (huge difference, I know, but the sins of the father should not be passed down upon the children), they should use Benoit's legacy to help look after his surviving children.

Charles Manon's music wasn't deleted from catalogs following his conviction as a mass murderer so any royalties Benoit would have earned from merchandise containing him could go towards supporting the children.

Unlike Eddie, however, there should be absolutely no illusion of Benoit going into the Hall of Fame. Yes, as unfathomable as it may seem, there are people who still believe he deserves a spot in there.
