Should the WWE enter Chris Benoit into the Hall of Fame instead of distancing themselves from him?

Question

I know he murdered his wife and son but he was a wonderful wrestler and should be remembered for his wrestling career.

I was just thinking about it while watching the CNN special but I know he won't

Your right about how the media would tear the WWE apart and that is the last thing the WWE needs right now

Answer 1

No. He's a killer, can't change that fact. Not to mention he took drugs and killed himself. Not exactly your role model.

*edit* whoever thumbs downed this supports murder

Answer 2

In time he will be, sooner if Vince is castout!

WWE is either claiming Confidentiality or is betting on Fans and the Presses short-term Memory, because November 1, came and went, without amount Suspended qualified!

Vince said Nine Wrestlers were Suspended, and Vince is the higher Authority, WWE Web didn't qualify the exact number to date, Press releases notated 10, 11, 12, and 13, Wrestlers Suspended, Vince cannot only release Suspensions until he stops, blaming to troublesome!

Timely on November 2, Masters {talk before was he may have been on his second?} and newcomer Smith were Suspended! Expect book to be closed, with only newcomers Suspended!

Booker T was the only One, of the top Ten Superstars Suspended, and he Quit! He also was refusing to Stop being King Booker for Vince.

We Remember, around the time of Vince's Trial for Supplying Wrestlers Steroids, {Acquitted not Exonerated} he Promised the World Steroid testing, and was Steroid Testing back then, then he Quit testing timed with Baseball, {"to troublesome"} when he started his Football League, becoming the "Genetic Jackhammer."

Raw and ECW ended the Show this week with Vince saying something like "I can do whatever I want!" He can't just "forget about it" this time?

Busted for Signiture Online Steroids by the FDA was Edge and Orton, Rey and Angle Instigating Steroid in Sports Investigation!

Dewey Robertson/The Missing Link/Inventer of the Flying Headbutt/RIP- this September, said about Eddie "It's a shame when a Man is required to keep taking Steroids just to keep his job!"

y2j's return was a Lie, nothing but a Cybered Lie!

Chris Benoit "Restocked" and "Displayed" his Steroids for a Reason!

Answer 3

Based purely on wrestling talent, he should be. But the WWE Hall of Fame isn't a realistic Hall of Fame like the one in Canton, the WWE doesn't allow in anyone who isn't in good terms with the company. For example, Randy Savage isn't on good terms with the WWE, so he won't be in the HoF until they make up. Bruno Sammartino and Owen Hart would also be in the HoF, but Bruno refuses to be in and Owen's wife Martha doesn't want him to be in.

Also, if the WWE would ever induct Benoit, there would be a firestorm in the media and public and would give a huge amount of bad publicity to the company.

Answer 4

Yeah they should.Chris Benoit didn't get what he deserved in the WWE.you see all of these other guys getting shots,but Benoit waited his turn.No offense like you saw Batista get a thousand shots at the title.Benoit didn't do that.If the world can't get over what he did,at least remember him as a excellent wrestler.

R.I.P Chris Benoit. May 21, 1967-2007

Answer 5

Yes because he was still a WCW World Heavyweight Champion, ECW Heavyweight Champion,
ECW TV Champion, WCW World Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, WWE Heavyweight Champion, WWE United States Champion, WCW US Heavyweight Champion, WCW TV Champion, WWE Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, he was still one of the best wrestlers in the world he should still be acknowled for that despite what he did.

Answer 6

Nope. He was good but the hall of fame should not list him. Maybe they can start a foundation to help the pro wrestlers that have fallen on hard times. We have lost far too many of them in recent years.

Answer 7

I would like to see it someday. But I don't think it will or can ever happen. The wwe would get slammed so bad by the media and tons of fans if they tried it. So NO it will not happen.

Answer 8

no i don't think so...do u no the guilt trip the wwe would have to deal with..and what if the media found out there setting themselves up for a disaster if they do that

Answer 9

inducting him will cause arguments over the conditions since he killed his family and the WWE has been trying so hard to distance themselves and rid themselves of any trace of him. its not his fault either i heard that his brain was in the state of an 85 yr old man with alzheimer's

Answer 10

I don't know, I want him too, but, look at it this way, O.J. got aquitted after being accused of killing his wife, but do you think he will ever get into the NFL Hall of Fame?
