WWE to Air Chris Benoit Footage on the WWE Network with Advisory Note

[Dale]

F4Wonline.com reports that WWE has sent out a memo stating that Chris Benoit footage will be allowed on its new Network broadcasts. There will be an advisory played before every show he appears on.

WWE is expected to announce the Network in Las Vegas next week.

Good decision really and it'll save them a shit ton of time and effort having to remove him from everything.

 

[John McHenry]

Agreed cutting out his footage really takes away from some peoples DVDs and such.

 

[Chris]

Kinda' sad that this is such big news. Hope they don't get too much backlash for it because I'd rather him not be cut out of everything. It's hard on WWE themselves and insults fans intelligence.

Warning the following programming has been rated 14-A because of family murdering piece of shit. Do not mark out for said wrestler, and we do not endorse him or think he belongs in any hall of fame.......get over it weirdos.

Somethng along those lines I'm going to guess.

I now have a reason to not subscribe to the WWE Network when it launches.

 

[John McHenry]

I'm not subscribing because it's going to cost a shit ton with a bunch of filler programing. Do you not watch things with OJ Simpons, Robert Blake or Snoop Dogg?

 

[Deezy]

Snoop never killed nobody, his bodyguards did. Also, OJ was acquitted. Robert Blake? Whose seen any of his shit?

Benoit needed a Leslie Nielsen segment, than everyone could watch his shit.

Out of all the reasons what made you decide not to watch it is because they'll show a match every now and then with Benoit in it? You know so they can actually show Orton becoming the youngest world champion or any of the Rumble matches Benoitwas in if they ever wanted to do a history of those.

Can that be scrolled across the bottom of the screen for the entirety of the match as well?

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Great news. Love seeing that some people won't subscribe for this reason already, I think that's hilarious.

Honestly, this makes things so much easier for the company, as has been stated already. I'm curious what the message will be.

 

[ThatGuyFromNukemHigh]

The message will be like those infomercials.. "We do not endorse or support any of the thoughts, actions etc."

He was shown in the War Games dvd, somehow that went under the radar!

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

WWE giving in to the Benoit marks who dont care about human life, how sad.

 

[Tapout]

Doesn't matter. By your logic he is still a murdering piece of shit. Just because an incompetent jury acquitted him doesn't mean shit.

I'm a wrestling fan. I'll watch matches with Benoit because they were good matches. 2004 Royal Rumble is still my favorite Rumble of all time and I watch it at least a couple times a year. Yes, he killed people, and he was a monster but that doesn't mean you can just erase him from history. Christopher Columbus was a raping murder and we have a day to celebrate him. Hiter was possibly the worlds greatest evil, and caused the killing of 12 million people and he's in every god damn history book in the world. You can't just act like a person never existed because of the wrong things they have done.

 

[Chris]

Kind of funny that the people who don't want Benoit mentioned at all will be the ones making a big deal and effectively bringing him up more than usual when he's shown.

What you just said was the stupidest fn thing there is. There is a legal system. OJ was proven not guilty ina criminal court of law. Benoit has been ruled as killing his wife and son, and then himself. OJ by every definition was found innocent as it pertains to the Bill of Rights.

They can't promote him. They will never say come watch Benoit. They caught a shitstorm for the tribute show and resulting signature scandal, they had to change things. They have a family to respect that lost loved ones because of him. They can treat him like in the mitb DVD and ignore him but they never should go out their way and celebrate him. Putting him in is more about continuity for everyone else because he's so damn featured in the history of Raw, SD, and Nitro
