You're right there and I agree but unfortunately Vince MacMahon doesn't.They erased Benoit from history,he's never mentioned on anything officially affiliated with WWE,they even cut out Ric Flair's comments that he made about Benoit during his HOF induction speech.
They do this to maintain their family image and that is all.
I fear that more tragedies will happen because it is impossible to maintain superhuman physiques and achieve muscle recovery naturally whilst working for about 300 days a year,anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.
Regarding the Benoit HOF debate I just don't see it happening ever,as great a wrestler as he was just the mere mention of his name will remind a lot of people of what he did & it would also seem to be disrespectful to the rest of the family & friends.But I don't believe his achievements should be erased out of WWE's history either.
Just watched highlights of Raw from earlier this week & it seems clear that Owens is aligning himself with Triple HHH & I can certainly see Owens & Samoa Joe forming an enforcer type partnership with HHH.As for the Brau Strauman & Big Show match I don't know what was more impressive the Shows new chiseled physique or Braun a near 400lb man pulling off a flip off his back onto his feet.
I would hope & expect that Angle would mention him in his own speech, but I suspect it won't be a shock if he doesn't.

If he does they'll cut it out for the release on DVD/blu ray like they did when Flair mentioned him(to a loud pop I might add).
I would like to think they would allow him on the evening to mention him but in all likelyhood your right it will probably be removed, those two had some phenomenal matches together.
The 'Glamazon' Beth Phoenix (Edge's other half) has been confirmed as the latest inductee in the Hall of Fame.
Thats an interesting one, deserving sure but there are others I would of perhaps put further up the list.
Don't mind Beth going in... she was a proper wrestler. it's just when they had her do comedy skits with santino that was silly
Has sable ever been inducted??
