Occasional Pre-Show
Thanks to the immense amount of archived (in particular WCW) content on the WWE network, Chris Benoit will forever be cemented in WWE and wrestling history. Even though he will never make the HoF, I believe through the public nature and accessibility of these archives, there will come a day where his legacy in the ring will outshine the controversy surrounding him.
If we were reliant on replay and a DVD home archive, Benoit (as he had been previously) could have been selectively removed from history. With all the content so readily available now it is impossible to remove someone who played such pivotal roles in wrestling history (WMXX, Ortons First title win to name a few).
I have to applaud WWE for leaving history unaltered in terms of Benoit. Despite his outside issues (which is putting it mildly), the man is one of the all time greats in the ring.
So what do you all think...
Do you believe it is possible that there will come a day where Chris Benoits legacy in the ring will outshine the controversy surrounding his death?
