I don't like that the WWE ignore Chris Benoit's involvement in the WWE, or that his name is a dirty word now. You can pretend he didn't work for you all you want, but the fact is he did. There's a long way between acknowledging and promoting. There's no need to mention that Chris Benoit was a former Intercontinental Champion when Curtis Axel and Miz are fighting over the championship, but when it comes to his bigger achievements -- like winning the 2004 Royal Rumble from #1 or winning the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania XX -- I think it becomes less natural to ignore him.

If the WWE decided to put out a Chris Benoit DVD looking at his career and how the tragedy has affected professional wrestling, do you think that would be considered tasteless? What if, as someone suggested, most of the profits go towards concussion research?
