I think that may be the most absurd editing of Chris Benoit thus far.
Anyone who has gotten it knows that he somehow teleported from backstage into the ring at Wrestlemania 21. He's not in the ring witn The Fink makes intros the start of the match yet he magically shows up before Edge turns around before Kane's entrance.
Does that count as a retro Wrestlemania moment?
Seriously i get the whole let's not promote him thing but do they seriously think people who might be newer fans wont to gee let me check google i wonder what happened to him.
Even on the packaging it says every match is presented in its entirety. Which obviously is a bold faced lie.
He existed. Until time travel is perfected It can't be changed.

They said every match is complete. Not every entrance.

We need an angle based around Cena getting a time machine and declaring he'll show just how good a company man he is by going back to every WWE/F event that Benoit wrestled at and beating him up and/or outwitting him before he can get to the ring.
This will conclude with the Twilight Zone-y twist where Cena arrives back in the present and discovers that Benoit never got the injuries/brain damage that lead to his murders & suicide, so WWE never instituted a Wellness Policy, and Cena himself is considered too little to be used as a main event player, his position having been usurped by a 500-pound, veins-bulging Daniel Bryan, who insists his physique is completely natural.

I watched this earlier and it's easily the worst hack job they've done in regards to Benoit. Not only does he teleport into the ring, but there's radio silence whenever he's on the offense and he's never mentioned by name once. So yeah, are they not just drawing more attention to the situation by doing things like this?

Did they edit the spot where he does the headbutt off the ladder? You'd think that might make them take another look rather than the entrance.

I like the WWE editing Benoit out much more than I liked them having to blur out the scratch logo.

They said every match is complete. Not every entrance. An entrance is part of the match otherwise they would show all matches right when the the bell rings for all of them.

The match starts when the bell rings. Entrances and whatnot for the match compilations are just a nice little extra. Watch a UFC dvd sometime. No entrances at all outside of the Main. They advertise all of the matches in full. TECHNICALLY, they ain't lying.

It could be worse. They could've put Christian's blue dot over Benoit's face. Or crudely put a Hardcore Holly smiley head over him.

Did they do that thing of editing out all of the commentary about him? No clue at all why they do that; he's already on the disc regardless with no complaints, is including a call of one of his moves really going to lead to outrage? Because that commentary thing made his match on the Elimination Chamber set unwatchable so long as he was in the ring, which made it a very good thing he was the first eliminated.

Benoit used Self-Destruct. It's super effective!

The problem is he was a face for so long, and that commentary is praising him. The WWE doesn't want to deal with the backlash that could happen from someone asking "Why do you leave in commentary praising a guy who killed his family?" In particular with the PG rating, and deal with Mattel.

I agree with the others, I don't blame the WWE for doing what they are doing.

Not to be overly sadistic, but why didn't they just show the actual chair shot in its original shot? I can get not promoting him, but what about when he gets knocked around? You just needed to edit out the JR comments (which they did), and you get your point across.

Honestly, why even include the match at all?
I know history and all that, but just do a highlight package where he's barely in it then just go to the next match where he isn't.
I can understand the other side but the bottom line is, you either have the matches in full or you don't have the matches at all. Saves money instead of bad attempts at editing.
