I hate revisionist history, so I hate this.

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. The thing is, not only was that match the first Money in the Bank, it was also pretty much widely regarded as the best of the MITB matches, so not having it on the disc I think would make people more mad than those who don't wish to see it because of Benoit. |

Did they edit the diving headbutt spot?

You can't blame the WWE for playing it safe on this subject and I don't really mind not seeing Benoit. Those who want to can go and watch any match of his they like but it's understandable that the WWE don't want to promote him any further.

It's basically a lose/lose situation, I agree, but either option saves more time then getting people annoyed by edits. It would also at the very least get WWE in a position instead of trying to satisfy both sides of the coin and not doing a good job. Personally, for history sake, I would leave the matches as is but the other side's point is completely and utterly justified. |

In 10 years, WWE will be able digitally remove Benoit from all WWE footage and replace him with different wrestlers.

I just don't see the big deal. You gotta think that the editing brings more attention to the whole thing than if they just left it alone. Shit happens. What if something like that happens again, only with a through and through main eventer like Cena?

They should film Big Show doing all of Benoits moves against a blue screen and then edit him into the footage and edit the commentary to say "Big Show" instead of "Benoit" while leaving everything else intact.

We won't have to.....if a Main Event Talent/"Hero to children the world over" did that, WWE would fold or SEVERELY limit their scope within the month. |

Did they show Edge hitting Benoit with the chair?

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. probably because that's the kind of thing that led to him murdering his family. |

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. Bobcore is unable to smile |

Things are also different now than they were back in 2005. For one thing, they're actually taking steps to protect talents by doing safer spots and removing chair shots to the head. Say what you will about PG WWE, but at least they're attempting to prevent future incidents. |

Did they edit the diving headbutt spot? Yes, but no commentary throughout, and a closeup on Kane's face post-headbutt as oppose to Benoit convulsing with a bloody face. Did they show Edge hitting Benoit with the chair? Yup, but again, all focus on Edge and none of Benoit's subsequent selling. |

But what happens if they want to show Benoit vs Big Show? Will they create a backstory involving a big show clone? |
