Do you think Benoit should be inducted in the hall of fame.
Being now everyone knows what happened and vinceeven stated there will be no more mention of Chris Benoit, do you think he will get inducted into the wrestling hall of fame. Remember the key word is wrestling. I feel he should still be inducted because its all about his wrestling career not his personal life and how it ended. He was one of the best wrestlers and i know everyone pulled for him at wrestlemania 20.

Nope. I don't think he will. If he hadn't had killed his family as well, maybe then. But this man is a murderer. Well, was.

If Pete Rose can't get into the baseball hall of fame for making a little extra money, Benoit shouldn't get into a wrestling hall of fame either.

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.

its unfortunate cause he was deffinatly a top canidate for the hall of fame. I figure if they do induct him then Nancys family will probably sue or something. I guess we will find out closer to Mania.

SHOULD he be inducted on wrestling alone? Yes. But he won't be because WWE won't want to have the sigma of having to advertise a murderer on their programming.

Even if he did, there would be a giant hippophant in the room (and not just Monty Brown) and it would be unsettling.

He's not getting inducted. The WWE Hall of Fame is based on who WWE (and more specifically Vince) likes and wants to see in his Hall of Fame. I mean randy Savage hasn't gotten in because of some personal issues between himself and McMahon...you think Vince will let a murderer in.

Why would they let someone who killed 2 people into the Hall of Fame? Who the hell wants to remember a killer? People get banned from sports for much much less, this dude KILLED 2 people. He woulda been kicked out of the WWE if he did not kill himself.

These days, a player can get banned from sports for beating his wife, a shot at both Ty Cobb and Steve Austin.

Wrestling attracts some pretty scummy people. Including rapists, sociopaths, and abusive folks. Not to mention filthy drug addicts. They'd be kicked out of sports, too. EDDIE DOESNT DESERVE TEH HALL UV FAIM BAH GAWD!

Yes, in five years, but not as one of the main people. Not as a major draw to the hall of fame. He did a lot for the wrestling industry. We don't know why he did what he did, but for his wrestling alone he should go in there.

seriously, how are they gonna do that? They couldn't just add him but not as a main person. Whoever else is inducted that year, Benoit will be a bigger name and cause more furore

Fuck yes he should. Chris Benoit is one of the best wrestlers to have ever lived. He has found success all over the world, he climbed to the top of World Wrestling Entertainment, and provided the last truly great WrestleMania moment (at least in my opinion), when he and Eddie Guerrero were celebrating in the ring together.

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.

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.
You may get neg rep, or even negative feedback in general.

Fuck them. Seriously.

I'm still not too sure if he should or shouldn't go in, but you have my respect for being able to voice your opinion... especially when most wrestling fans will disagree with you. I have to rep more people to give you rep, but who really gives a shit about rep anyway? I don't know what it proves... except that Matt Boone is a cunt.

On one hand: He's one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He gave nothing but 100%, and did nothing but give to us fans. He was a leader in the locker room and seemed like he made sure the younger undeserving guys were deserving.

On the other hand: He murdered his wife and son. You kind of don't want to give a guy who does that any respect.

I'm on the fence, and wouldn't care either way.

I won't neg rep you for your opinion, but by god do I disagree with it.
Look, everyone could list a hundred reasons why he should be in the hall of fame. But in the end, this guy is a cold blooded murderer, and that outweighs all the good he ever brought to us

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.

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.

OJ was also inducted before he ALLEGEDLY~! killed his wife and that other guy. If Pete Rose isn't getting into the MLB Hall of Fame because he bet on baseball then Chris Benoit shouldn't get into the WWE Hall of Fame for obvious reasons.
