Vince Comments on (Censored Name)
From PWInsider:

Thanks to Leon Peters for the following. ... I just picked up the new special edition magazine called "The Untold History Of The WWE" that WWE put out (the actual release date for it is September 15th). It's a timeline style magazine with all of the important events in WWE history. However it only begins with 1982 when Vince bought Capitol Wrestling. Nothing prior to that is mentioned. The magazine is broken up into 6 chapters, "The 80's Boom(1982-1985)", "The Dawn Of WrestleMania(1985-1990)", "The New Generation(1990-1996)", "The Attitude Era(1996-2001)", "The Postwar Era(2001-2005)" and "The Modern Era(2005-present)".

There's an interview with Vince at the beginning of each section and he makes some interesting comments. One of the last questions he is asked is "What about the Chris Benoit tragedy? We're two years removed - will there ever be a time when we can acknowledge him as part of WWE history?" Vince's response: "It's not right to pretend he didn't exist. It's one thing to include him as part of a historical perspective, which I believe is OK, and it's another thing to promote him, which is not OK. The situation is very similar to that of O.J. Simpson - despite his controversy, O.J. was still a part of the NFL scene. You can't deny that he existed."

It's a very cool magazine with Vince commenting on each "Era" of the company. There's way too much to recap, but the Benoit question I found interesting.

Yeah. I like Vince's reply. Although Benoit to wrestling isn't quite what OJ was to the NFL, pretending he didn't exist is still ridiculous.

To be honest, I agree that that was a very good response from Vince. Well, good for Vince at the very least.

Hopefully he'll do what he's saying here. He's started, but not by much.

It's definitely a good response.

I find that I can watch his matches, but it's quite difficult to do now.

Good response from Vince. Nothing pissed me off more than around the Royal Rumble the last two years, the Royal Rumble history page showing past winners of the Rumble match blatantly skipped over 2004. Like come on, are you really going to pretend that never happened?

Personally, I've had no problems watching any Benoit matches, cause he was just so damn good in the ring. It's a shame he turned into a coward at the end of his life, but I could never fault his in-ring work.

I can quite happily watch Benoit matches. It's a bit weird to think how both Eddie and Benoit were dead only 3 and a quarter years after Wrestlemania 20 considering that celebration both guys had in the ring together.

Professional athlete kills two people. The only difference is, OJ had enough sense to claim he didn't do it, and Benoit was completely off his rocker.
