WWE will be showing Chris Benoit footage on the WWE Network, with a disclaimer before anything he's in. Do you guys think he'll be shown in any positive way, or will he simply be used for matches for other's historical context, like Randy Orton winning his first World Title? |

If they're not charging an insane price for it I'd consider getting it. I watch a fair amount of the wrestling stuff on netflix as is.

They haven't found any tv providers who want it yet. Rumor has it they may try and get NBCUniversal to give them G4TV's spot and move all of their shows to their own channel.

Well the way I see it, they did give a tribute show to him prior to finding out he was the murderer (assuming the Sullivan rumors are false), and haven't said anything negative or positive about him since. I would imagine to protect Linda's record that the video(s) won't emphasize how great he was when most people including the FBI still think Benoit was he murderer, so if they said anything good about him, it could hurt the business.

Well, Vince decided Benoit should just be ignored. WWE did not want to be associated with him. Supposedly, Vince was afraid that people would blame WWE over the fact that many of the concussions that caused his CTE happened in WWE, and that his drug abuse had happened right under WWE's nose and nothing was done. So they chose to just pretend he never existed. It would have been bad for WWE if people started blaming them for his brain damage. |
