Regardless of how you feel about the disgusting nature of the Benoit family tragedy, it's damn immature to let that affect your respect for the man professionally. I could list many reasons why Chris Benoit deserves to go in the Hall of Fame, and there is only one reason why people think he should not. That reason is a personal one, and should not have any bearing on the man's profession.

Will he go in? Hell no. The WWE pulled their tribute to the man, and have taken down anything that associates themselves with him. Personally, that disgusts me. What Benoit did may not have been right, but that doesn't change the fact that for 20 years Chris Benoit was one of the best in the business.

I will probably get a lot of neg rep for this, but I will never stop admiring Chris Benoit professionally. Personally? I never admired him for this. The man partook in an affair with a married woman, something I could never do myself. Chris Benoit never had my respect for his private dealings, but that is not why I watched his art religiously for so many years. I will never stop loving Chris Benoit the wrestler.
Are you going to be the one to explain to the world why they are allowing a murderer into the hall of fame?? Are you going to be the one to get up on stage and talk about what a great guy Benoit was and what character he had and do it with a straight face?? If OJ had been found guilty, Football would of found a way to remove him from the hall of fame.Hell even though he was found not guilty, they would probally love to kick him out of the hall.

Yes, he should. The HoF is about a wrestler's career, not their private life.

Yes, he murdered his family. That makes him a horrible person, in my opinion. But does it make him a horrible wrestler? Hell no, he was one of the greatest performers I have ever seen, and I'll be damned if the last weekend of his life ever changes my opinion of his career and in-ring ability.

I agree that you should go to the Hall of fame because of your accomplishments in that sport and your personal life should have little to do with it but I also think you should have to be a human being to get inducted into the hall of fame.A human being doesn't do what he did.If his other 2 children were there he would of ended up killing 4 people including 3 children.

It's the WRESTLING Hall of Fame. As a wrestler, he should be remembered and admired. Now as for Humanitarian of the year? I think not.

I realize that the Hall of Fame is suppose to be a measure of performance only, but his reputation and character are intrinsically connected, and since both have obviously gone down the drain, you cannot help but view his career differently.

And even if the career is isolated, I don't think it's right to give a wrongdoer recognition. You can have the best career ever, but if you do something like kill your wife and child, the very least consequence you can have is to forfeit a HoF spot.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yes. I don't expect him to get the Bret Hart/Hulk Hogan/Eddie Guerrero treatment where he's the... for lack of a better word, main event of the Hall of Fame that year, but at some point in time, not now, not next year, not even 10 years from now, but at some point, he should be inducted. There's no denying his accomplishments, his talent and his influence on pro-wrestling.

I really wish I could expand further on my thoughts but to be honest, I really hate thinking about Benoit and wrestling in general right now. The only reason I'm typing anything at the moment is because I'm hoping this will... forget it.

Fucking A. Why are people so cowardly they cannot explain things?

Benoit will never be found guilty, either. OJ was guilty in public opinion, and even in a civil suit. How is that different? The NFL is okay with a man who, in the eyes of the public, is a killer in the HoF. A man who stabbed two people a total of like 50 times.

This act has nothing to do with the 20 years he poured into the business so yeah, I think he should. He wont though. The WWE will pretend the suddenly developed morals.

should he yes. will he no.
should OJ still be in there yes, the NFL even if found guilty never would have removed him... they may have cut down on his display and had less "press" about him in the HOF but they wouldn't have removed him.

Pete Rose isn't in the MLB HOF because he's considered to have "cheated on the game" same reason while never "proven" that Mark McGuire didn't get voted in yet.

That being said, baseball writers (who vote for the MLB HOF) have been known not to vote for people they didn't like as a person or didn't consider "press friendly" See: Jim Rice & Albert Belle.

So, again, "YES" he should be in, "NO" we will never be in, just the fact that Vince did a 3hr special to a guy who murdered his son and wife is something Vince will never, ever, forget.

Hang on a second, if the HoF is based on character etc, Eddie Guerrero died due to a legacy of drug abuse. Long-term too, not just a dabble here and there. Yeah yeah, he recovered and saved himself, but that changes nothing.

If we're setting rules like that, then very few 'deserve' to be in the HoF. Especially not half the juicers that have made it.

It's a bit late to pull out the morality card, especially when most are crying out for an Austin return every week.

Are you guys fucking kidding me? He murdered a 7 year old. Drug abuse and gambling aren't even close to killing two people, let alone your own wife and your 7 year old son.

How about attempted murder? That ok? How about armed robbery?

At what level of crime does it become wrong to be inducted?

So only SOME crimes are wrong.

Could you please make me a comprehensive lists of what crimes do or don't put you in the HoF?

I think murdering two people is on a slightly different plane than doing drugs or gambling.

Of course he should. People need to sit down and actually think about the purpose of the wrestling hall of fame. Forget the tragic personal matters. Yes it is tragic, but seperate it from his career as a wrestler.
Benoit deserves to be in there. He was an amazing wrestler, he made a huge impact, and no one can deny that, regardless of what you think of him outside the ring.

Purely on the basis of the career he had, and this is what it should be based on, Chris Benoit should be inducted into the hall of fame. However, if circumstances were completely different and he had simply retired this last weekend, I don't see him as a "first-ballot" hall-of-famer. Yes, he was extremely talented. Yes, he held a few titles. But it was not even close to those of say Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, or Hulk Hogan.

But yes, he did have a great enough career to make it into the hall eventually, regardless of these recent incidents. It is obvious now that he was not mentally sound. Nobody of sound mind could commit the actions that he did, and a verdict of insanity is very similar to a verdict of not guilty. I'm obviously not saying that I condone his actions at all, I just see them as the actions of a person suffering severe mental illness.

Nonetheless, he earned his spot in the hall, albeit eventually.
