Well f*** him if that's the worst treatment he gets from the WWE But what did WE do to deserve censored, cut crap on the DVDs/BluRays we pay for? 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. And this here is great and shouldn't be no-sold, so I repost it.

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. 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. They could get JR, Lawler, Cole, etc. to redub the commentary and treat Benoit as a heel, despite him not doing any heelish things. Benoit puts HHH in the crossface. JR: "Oh come on, that's completely uncalled for!"

They cannot be seen to be promoting a murderer, EVER. There is nothing else to it. We're lucky we get him on any DVDs at all, and I say 'lucky' with a kilo of salt.

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. Oh, right... the stuff that made the CTE worse.

Not sure why some people get so pissy. I know he was a good wrestler, but he did murder his wife and son. Kinda overwrites how good he was IMO, WWE are quite right to not include him.

Don't blame the WWE, blame Chris Benoit for murdering his family. If he hadn't done that, the WWE wouldn't need to edit the matches. They aren't the jerk in this situation, he is.

I think people would prefer a choice (for example, if you can't stand to watch him you can just fast forward) and you can't claim it to be a complete anthology when one of the matches are butchered to f***. At the end of the day though, I understand completely why WWE do it. I'd just prefer if they didn't.
