I'm totally fine with Benoit not being a part of this. Including that incident in such a project as this might veer a little too close to exploitation.

Why in the openings from like the 90s saying that it has been 50 years of WWF, when it was like 30ish. Vince was lumping the history of McMahons promoting wrestling all the way back to his grandfather Jess McMahon. |

His death & what we found out about his mental health afterwards has, perhaps permanently, changed the wrestling business. Yeah, they shouldn't praise him or anything like that (nor do I expect them to), but I don't think you can fully tell the company's history without discussing what happened, how his wrestling style contributed to it, & the changes you as a company have made to better ensure your workers' health. |

Its good that the WWE are leaping at the chance to finally take advantage of having Bruno's good will back. I was reading some stuff about Bruno earlier today actually and one thing was how A&E did a show about wrestling and left Bruno out entirely and Bruno blamed Vince for it. So thats cool to see and will make the earlier parts of the doc really interesting.
I agree with the people saying they shouldn't shy away from the Benoit stuff and then use it as a way to emphasize how they learned such a hard lesson from that event. Its such a better approach than pretending it never happened.

I hope it's good. I hope it's true and not WWE true. I hope there is new interview and such, because, I could cobble that DVD together from just DVDs of theirs I already own.
Finally, Bret vs. Shawn is on DVD. I was outraged it didn't make the DVD of their Rivalry set, only the BluRay. What a load of crap, the one match that makes the whole DVD exist and it's not there?!

He is on the mitb anthology He's on it, but isn't getting an entire chapter talking about the murders. At least as far as I know, I don't have MITB yet. You know if they talk about it, it would be the allure of "Also for the FIRST TIME EVER, the WWE discusses on a DVD the BENOIT MURDERS." |

The screwjob match has been released on DVD before. Its on The Best of Confidential. It was dumb not to put it on the Rivalries set though. |

Did get Bret vs. Shawn because what one match would you assume is on there? Above all else? Right, Bret vs. Shawn at Survivor Series 1992. |
