Imagine someone coming out to induct Benoit, and talk about his career.

Brush over the murder of his wife and young child.
f*** you.

Whether or not you think he was responsible for his actions, or whether or not you think he was that good, you have to realize that inducting him into the WWE HOF would be a PR nightmare.

Not just this, but his actions in his final days could have and arguably almost directly lead to the fall of the wrestling industry.

I get so caught up in the murder thing, I forget the good point TC has.
Assuming he had retired instead of the entire double murder/suicide thing, I honestly don't see him being in the HoF anyway. >_> Solid mid carder who could put on some really good matches, but unless it was an induction with the Horsemen, eh. Of course they have all sorts of midcarders in, so, whatever, he'd probably end up in anyway, but I don't really consider his career HoF worthy.

At this point I feel like they shouldn't try to edit him out of older broadcasts and stuff like that. We should be able to search for him on the Network... but they don't ever have to mention him in programming anymore.

This boards obsession with Benoit is bordering on creepy and offensive. Feel like the main reason people talk about him so much is because they know it's not really ok.

I could make a troll topic about any wrestler though, Benoit isn't exclusive to that sort of thing. And who cares whether something is "socially acceptable" or not.

You judge his career. Not his personal life. Yes he should be in. There's plenty of unsavory types in there already.
Doesn't matter though because the HOF is a f***ing joke.

His in-ring body of work merits it easily, but WWE can't do it because that would just be horrible PR.

absolutely not, and he was one of my favorites. I remember the disbelief of the situation, i just couldn't understand it.

Here is the thing.
Being inducted into the HOF means a ceremony... a celebration of the LIFE of the person. How do you celebrate the life of Benoit?

it's the wwe hall of fame, not the life hall of fame. you have to be able to compartmentalize. to honor his contributions to WWE is not to condone any actions in his lifetime other than becoming a pro wrestler
it's still too soon but one day it'll be fine |

This, any good he did was 100% wiped away with his final actions. ghettorevival posted... it's the wwe hall of fame, not the life hall of fame. you have to be able to compartmentalize. to honor his contributions to WWE is not to condone any actions in his lifetime other than becoming a pro wrestler If the reason he no longer was with the WWE was solely drug related he'd be in. f***, even if he just committed suicide he'd be in. You can compartmentalize those things with this career. What he actually did is so much bigger it invades literally everything relating to him. You cannot have his career without the last days of his life, its literally impossible with him murdering his wife and child.

Football isn't this niche hobby that's seen as appealing to weirdos and degenerates. It's the most popular sport in the United States and loved by dude bros all across the country (not even criticizing; I love football personally but it's definitely a "bro" sport). Wrestling is, to mainstream America, a freakshow where people pretend fight and people who watch it are hicks and inbred West Virginia hillbillies. When OJ Simpson kills his wife and her friend it's not seen as representative of football. He's just a guy who killed some people who happened to play football. When Benoit killed his wife and son, it's seen as "Well are we really surprised? One of those wrasslers killed people? Those f***ers are unstable weirdos" Benoit's crime had a MUCH bigger impact on pro wrestling than OJ's crime had on football. OJ represented himself. Benoit represented wrestling. Is that right? Is that fair? Of course not but it's what happened.

Eh I'm still suspicious about the whole thing. Him being set up/killed by hitman doesn't seem impossible, especially given how everyone loved him. He was too positive it seemed
Chris Benoit had excellent in ring skills and his contributions should be recognized. If he was indeed guilty however then I guess WWE's current conduct is best. Even then I would say it was a result more of brain going crazy through concussionsHow did it take 51 posts for the conspiracy theoristsSecretary to the B0$$

I don't know where Hornswoggle's head is at, but I've heard from others who were close to Benoit that said that they did notice something different about him. Of course most of them only noticed in hindsight, but they did notice.The Poster Formerly Known As BooBooNukem! I'm a Jesus Freak!!! Woohoo!
