For those wondering about Benoit's hometown change.....

[RGWhat316]

here is your explanation from 4w-wrestling.com

Thanks to Steve for the following:
Hey there, I emailed WWE Canada and ask what was up with them changing Benoit's hometown, right before the big PPV in Edmonton. I got the following reply:

Thank you for your recent comments regarding Chris Benoit.

WWE Canada has checked into your questions and, as a result, Mr. McMahon has issued the following statement:

“We as a company are proud of Chris Benoit’s accomplishments and his Canadian heritage. But since Chris Benoit has been living in Atlanta for over a decade, it is important to reflect an accurate assessment of where he is currently residing.”

For his part, Chris Benoit states: ”No matter where I live, which is currently Atlanta, Georgia, I’m proud to be from Edmonton, Alberta Canada. And I’m looking forward to returning home as the World Heavyweight Champion at the WWE RAW Backlash Pay-Per-View event at Rexall Place on Sunday, April 18.”

Once again, thank you for your comments – we’re proud to have such enthusiastic and involved fans in Canada. Chris is very excited about presenting the belt to his fellow Edmontonians at Backlash.

Sincerely,

WWE Fan Services
