I remember being surprised that they cancelled Raw and just did a night of past Benoit moments instead of a full show with actually wrestling ala Eddie.
Only thing I can think of is that with Eddie he was discovered dead in the morning so everybody had all day to recuperate whereas Benoit's death was only discovered hours before Raw was meant to go on the air. I mean it's not like a tribute show is overly hard to book - ask around, get a list of who wouldn't mind competing, and then put together as many "dream" matches as possible.
