So do you think it should be mentioned to someone that you know....said person is still mentioned on their website. Another reference was recently removed, but it's still there on Jack Doan's bio page.... www.wwe.com/superstars/wwereferees/jackdoan |

Benoit's still in the Title Histories.
Besides this is a Referee page that probably hasn't been updated in years.

Fair enough. It's just they removed another reference to him just a few days ago.
I assumed it was simply overlooked.

You are controling ref pages? No I saw it mentioned on a news site earlier, and they mentioned Benoit was still referenced on Jack Doan's page. I don't know who scours through the bio pages looking for that, but it wasn't me anyhow. |

They should really ease up on the indirect Beniot references as long as its a secondary element to the article or story. I don't expect them to go out of their way to talk about him but this going out of their way to delete him from history is unnecessary like it or not the guy existed.

I was under the impression Benoit was considered persona non grata within WWE. However, the mention in the title history does contradict that statement. |

For that matter, he was on the Elimination Chamber set. Though removing any and all commentary referring to him rendered that match basically unwatchable. Good thing he was the second guy gone. |

I can understand not wanting to promote him after what happened, but going all 1984 with it, trying to unperson the guy, just seems wrong to me.  |

It's so foolish. Anybody that is diving that deep into the page already knows who Chris Benoit is and what he did. I'm not saying they should have the "Chris Benoit Christmas Spectacular", but the way they bury him out of their history makes them look like they have something to hide.

Jeez, they've done enough erasing of Benoit. Just leave it in the past & go forward WWE.

I mean, Benoit took it to another level, but you know, Snuka....

They have never erased him from historical record. He still appears in match listings, title histories and things like that. This "They need to stop erasing him" crap is old and quite frankly untrue. I mean, Benoit took it to another level, but you know, Snuka.... Which there is no proof of and is only urban legend. |

Things he needs to be in, he's in. But when you're trying to dub him out of videos and such, it's just to the point, why? Just have someone call him an immoral douchebag who should burn in hell during his matches. Then people that don't want to hear it can mute it. I really don't think people are paying attention anymore. It's not like they're making money off of him, maybe a teeny subset, by leaving match footage and commentary exactly as it was, well within WWE confines of "exactly as it was." |

That takes it beyond "urban legend". |

Civil is far different and only takes a minute amount of evidence as compared to a criminal trial. |

Civil is far different and only takes a minute amount of evidence as compared to a criminal trial. An urban legend is spectacular fantasy that has little or no chance of being true. Losing a civil suit in a case is not urban legend. Unless she did a double gainer and busted up her head, there's a pretty good chance Snuka killed her. Definitely enough to cut ties to him forever. The difference between the two situations is that they both got themselves out of the situation in vastly different ways, and Benoit did so in a way that confirmed his guilt and made it even worse. If Snuka is good enough to GET ON TV and work with the company for years afterward, I think they can leave a Chris Benoit match alone. It's not like they're selling him. |

Yeah he's still on the title histories but, if I remember correctly, you can't click on the link to get the info about it like the others.
