What do you guys think about wwe not including benoits name in all of the bookmarked chapter info. For those of you who have wwe network, how many of you automatically know that when you see a big gap in betweeen the chapters, that its a benoit match? I just think that the more they try to block him out of things, its actually just doing the opposite. It just brings more attention towards it. Not just with the network, but the whole wwe in general. Idk sounds weird but makes sense to me.. Your guys thoughts?

I'm perfectly fine with it. I was a huge fan who now has no desire to watch his matches ever again.

I've come across one Chris Benoit match since his death and I didn't finish it. I felt uncomfortable watching it. Although I will say that the Chris Benoit that many of us were fans of probably wasn't the same Chris Benoit that murdered his family. Mental illness is a hell of a thing, it can completely change someone and make them do unspeakable things. This is by no means a justification, just something to think about.

We watched a documentary on Benoit in health class at school today.

I can separate Chris Benoit the wrestling character from the real Chris Benoit. I have no problem finishing watching his matches if I do this, but subconsciously in the back of my head I know what he did.

I can watch Benoit matches with no problem.
I understand why they did it and don't have an issue with it.

He played a character on tv and did something awful in real life. We have to be able to understand that when seeing things like him with the horsemen or him beating Shawn and triple H at mania. They're still great matches and moments. It just sucks how his real life turned out, and I don't mind them setting up the network the way that they did. |

No, it doesn't bother me.
Chris Benoit: The Wrestler was a technical wizard who put on classic matches with the likes of Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Shawn Michaels and more. I have no problem watching his matches and quite frankly, enjoy them. I adore The Wrestler.
Chris Benoit: The Man at the end of the day did do what he did. It was a horrible tragedy that changed the face of wrestling forever. I hate The Man's guts for doing what he did.

I totally felt I couldn't watch any Benoit matches after the tragedy. It just wasn't right. But lately they added a lot of Smackdown! episodes from the Ruthless Aggression era. I watched one of his matches, and dammit, I kept watching more and more... and I mean, the entire episodes, not just his matches. But, damn, his were the best ones. Nothing today, in-ring wise, can meet the quality of 2002-03... Nothing! What do you guys think about wwe not including benoits name in all of the bookmarked chapter info. For those of you who have wwe network, how many of you automatically know that when you see a big gap in betweeen the chapters, that its a benoit match? I just think that the more they try to block him out of things, its actually just doing the opposite. It just brings more attention towards it. Not just with the network, but the whole wwe in general. Idk sounds weird but makes sense to me.. Your guys thoughts? I think you actually have a really good point. All the effort to avoid the featuring of Benoit actually makes him stand out more. |

I'm fine with watching or talking about him, but I respect their decision completely.
Wouldn't be fussed if they did or didn't mention him again.

I can still watch Chris Benoit matches.
However, with that being said, the magic of his matches seem to be gone for me now. For example, Wrestlemania XX. That was one of the coolest moments in wrestling history, and now it's totally ruined in a way.
I do find watching WCW Chris Benoit matches a lot easier than WWE ones though. The farther I get in his WWE career, the more I realize how tragic the ending is for him.
But I can understand why the WWE does what it does. They haven't erased Benoit totally, but they erased him enough where it counts.

I think it's the perfect compromise. They matches are there for people who want to see them, and easy to skip for those who do not. They've handled it perfectly. He was my favorite wrestler for over a decade, but I don't enjoy watching his matches anymore because it's impossible for me not to think about what he did when doing so.

WWE wants to pretend that Chris Benoit never existed. Which is fine by me

No problem with it. I was a huge Benoit fan at the time he was one of only five active wrestlers I enjoyed watching. Now I don't go out of my way to find his matches, but when I am watching an old PPV and his match starts I will still watch it but knowing about the tragedy kills the joy I used to have watching his matches.

 Chris Benoit. What he did immediately nullified his career. I don't give a crap about how technical he was, when you murder your own family, that's the only thing I think of not "Oh he main evented Mania and was pretty good!". |
