WWE to apologize for Benoit tribute

[ironicicon]

This message opened the show. And I have to say I was totally blown away by it. Vince looked he was crying again tonight. I feel that this was the right thing to do, don't know what everyone else thinks. But the WWE paid tribute to one of the greats and because of the timeframe didn't wait in order for the investigation to be completed enough to know what the circumstances surrounding the Benoit family's death. No apology needed by WWE.

Wow! You summed up what I wrote in another post with way less words. Some may have been offended, but it wasn't their fault as they were paying respect to one of their own without extensive knowledge of what happened.

Thats not really an apology though. Its more of an explanation to why Benoit isnt going to be treated like Eddie was with the week of tributes and constant mentions. I think it served its purpose well.

Last night on Monday Night Raw, the WWE presented a special tribute show, recognizing the career of Chris Benoit. However, now some 26 hours later, the facts of this horrific tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments, there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit tonight. On the contrary, tonight's show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight, the WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world--entertain you.


His e-message on wwe.com was the same message on ECW show. They had to do this to cover their ass and it was the right thing to do by them as a business/company. Personally, I think they should stand by Benoit a little more, even if it is only about his wrestling career. It is a shame alot of people can not separate the two and this is why I understand WWEs view on this tragedy.

Whats the problem with that? None of it was the WWEs fault but they sure are getting criticized for it so Vince is protecting his company. One thing I cant stand is all the Vince McMahon bashing because of this. People are always looking for any stupid excuse to bash him.
