Men are not the only ones doing this, and its more than just some. It is just your local news decides not to tell you every single time this shit happens. You also came up with no reasonable argument of the murder of allies, and friendly fire.

Also, the fact that you would defend someone who kills because he is told to. The Gestapo were just following orders at the Gulag, and to the Nazi's Hebrews were the enemy. History claims these are murderous scum, but by your definition are killing within the boundaries of law, and thus should be forgiven. Or here is one that is very close to my heart, what about the Americans who would kill and scalp their own men to terrify their own men about the native "savages", so they would go out and kill innocents? yet cowboys are revered as heroes. War does not excuse murder, but murderers are needed because we as a society are incapable of peace.

Of course there is. They are needed to protect our streets, and our countries. Cops and Soldiers are murderers that not only have a place in society, but a place of power in society. Nice try though!

You say that like every cop and soldier has murdered somebody or wants to go on a killing spree. Not every cop abuses their power and the political system by drawing their weapon and shooting somebody for pointless reasons. There are definitely more good cops out there then bad cops as a whole, but the actions of all the bad cops overshadow the good ones due to the excessive media coverage. Can't say much for soliders since their duties are completely different from what cops do.

Anyways back on topic I am not one for Benoit to gain any sort of recognition for what he did to his wife and son, and yes that includes the Hall of Fame, but I don't believe that the WWE should really deny his existence especially if they plan on going with this network thing. If viewers are really that uptight about watching Benoit then don't fucking watch the network, but then again I bet most people won't anyways.

I still find it absolutely hilarious that people won't order the network now because of this. The family isn't going to be getting any royalties, he's not being promoted in a positive light or anything so how hard is it to change the channel when something involving comes on? Are you going to not bother watching the whole of RAW because the WWE promoted a match that featured someone you dislike or don't watch, of course you're not.

No, I say that because cops kill people all the time, in the line of duty, and not just ones who abuse their power either. Then the soldier, their entire job description is to kill. Its not my fault that history has told me that soldiers rape, pillage, and murder.

To keep this simple I can admire someones talent without liking the person or in this case condoning one of their actions. There are many examples throughout history of this, but comparing Benoit to Hitler is a little dumb for the reason there wasn't nothing to admire about Hitler.

I think WWE are making the right decesion for the reasons mentioned, but I respect anyone who disagrees and does not order the Network because of it.

Completely not trolling here but there's actually a ton to admire about Hitler, dude was a master manipulator and a genius. He was a crazy genius but still a genius. Not condoning what he did at all but he's definitely one of the most interesting historical figures out there.

Maybe those people will also quit watching WWE at all and won't come on the site anymore :mark:

Nazi's also advanced technology by about 30 years with their little war.
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.
Yes, you can. You think those Columbine Trenchcoat Mafia kids are still in the yearbooks there? Way to go #fulltapout

Oh my god, this incredible news for me. Chris Benoit is one of the greatest entertainers of all-time, one crazy weekend don't change the rest of his career. WWE shouldn't remove classic matches from anything. Honestly, most of the stuff on the History Channel should have advisory warnings before shows that say they'll show known murders and exploit them for TV ratings. Wanna be hypocrites? Go ahead, I'd be a hypocrite if I said was a Finlay and Regal fan and then say Benoit isn't on there level because of mental problems and steriod abuse leadin' to criminal actions.

Also saw an OJ argument of him being not guilty but should still be punished than if that were the case Jimmy Snuka shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.
