We know what this is. Vague chapter markers to avoid mentioning Chris Benoit. I know there's others who get it...Rockin' Rebel (same but less publicized, obviously, situation as Benoit) and I think Muhammad Hussan gets it too.
Anyone else?

I met Rebel twice at indy shows, 2014 and 2016. Nothing memorable about it. He was known to guys doing east coast indies, even legends but I doubt many more people knew him. Is there anything really out there that needs to be Benoited? Like, footage should be fan came type things at best.
Indies was almost like literally all he did. He was cited as an ECW guy after the killing but no way did he devote any kind of length of time in ECW like lots of other guys did. The ECW connection was probably a newspaper typer grasping at straws to connect him to a major wrestling organization.

And Rebel appeared in the undercard of some 1993-94 ECW Arena shows, some of which were put out on VHS and may be in the Network. |

May not be officially Benoit treatment, but they’re not going out of their way to feature Jimmy Snuka anymore.
Ted DiBiase has been missing from Legends shows since the welfare fraud allegations came to light, whereas he was previously a reliable get.

Do they do this with Buck Zumhoff for Triple H's debut match?

Not really that missing, he was on the 30th anniversary Raw a couple months ago. |

Also, this video is easily found on WWE's YouTube page. It was uploaded prior to the conviction and I don't think anyone realizes this match is still on there, but there is something really morbid about Triple H's first WWE match featuring one of the worst human beings ever given a payday there, and that covers a lot of ground. |

I know what he did and I think he should never be mentioned and I'm being hypocritical for doing so. But my point was wrestling wise I didn't think he really didn't anything to warrant anyone to even speak of him in the first place like they would Benoit. |

I think far and away the most intrusive the Benoit stuff has ever been was on the Elimination Chamber DVD set where they included the one he was in. Edited out every bit of the commentary mentioning him and since he was one of the starting entrants it basically renders the first 25 minutes of the match completely unwatchable.

Do they try to edit out/hide Mel Phillips?

Do they try to edit out/hide Mel Phillips? They did, then they stopped. His interview on a TNT episode is edited out, but he's seen and heard countless times on the Wrestling Challenge episodes they put up in 2021. |

I remember back in the Classics on Demand days, they had Santino host a special called something like "big bangs and dazzling debuts," and for Triple H's debut, they used his Raw match with John Crystal instead. |
