Alright, I understand what happened and I understand what Mattel and WWE are doing for public relations. But I think it's time to move on from this situation and understand these two individuals are completely different. One is a character who was portrayed on WWE programing with a choreographed move set. The other was a man with a tragic mental illness and chaotic personal life. These two people are completely different in every way. The Chris Benoit we knew remains the same and will forever be the character. The real person we really knew nothing of and it should remain that way for now and forever. We were sent into a social media and news frenzy and we all read the allegations and premature news statements. We only really know what was written on the official report which came out months later. There is no reason to erase a character from history because the person who portrayed him committed ungodly acts.
Because if so we would have to write off a long list of many of your favorite superstars. Hulk Hogan (made unjust statements about vehicle manslaughter and was caught in affair and has made unjust statements about everything.) Randy Savage (various reports over the years of domestic violence) Vince McMahon (stood on trial for steroid abuse in his company in the mid 90's) Jimmy Sunka (allegedly killed his girlfriend while being intoxicated in the early 70's) New Jack (Five justifiable homicides and The Grimes Incident, The transatlantic stabbing) Pit-bull Number 1 ( committed suicide after killing his girlfriend over a domestic disagreement) Ric Flair (domestic violence)
While some of these may seem minor compared to Benoit they are still unjust and have caused many media outbursts over the years. I personally can separate all of these individuals from there television persona's or characters we know and love. You really have to do the same when dealing with sports entertainment or any choreographed television/live action drama or stage play. This is entertainment and while the hazards these men put there bodies through to portray that character are real, they are still sports entertainment persona's.
I'm sorry to list the down falls and personal demons of the people who portrayed great characters. But to show my point I had no choice. I hope you all understand this and the few who can't I'm sorry you can't accept the difference between reality and sports entertainment. Thank you for your time.
By the way, the customs are amazing and I plan to finish mine very soon and post pictures of it as well.

No Chris Benoit was Chris Benoit. You saying he was two different people is idiotic. Its not like Jack Nicholson chopping down a door with an axe, then having a director yell cut. Benoit was the same in and out of the ring, even his best friends have said so. Jericho who came up un the business with him said Benoit was the hardest hitting and meanest wrestler he ever worked with. Im so sick of everyone defending his actions just to get a damn toy of him. Benoit was sick in the head, he murdered his son and wife and was too much of a coward to deal with the consequences so he offed himself. Stop acting like his in ring work makes what he did ok.

The only way these threads will end is when Mattel says F it and releases a Benoit, Scott Hall and Owen 3 Pack. On the back of the package there should be a letter by the MDT telling us all to F off. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif)
