Chris Benoit -- future WWE hall of famer?
Do you think Chris Benoit will ever be inducted into the WWE hall of fame? Do you think he'll ever be included in the WWE produced publications again such as WWE 24/7 on Demand?

No he will never be mentioned by WWE ever again because of what he did. WWE will never mention Chris Benoit they made a tribute show about him on Raw and after that they will never mention him ever again. He killed his wife, he killed his son, and then killed himself, which is why WWE wont induct him in the Hall of Fame. If he ahdn't done that , he would've been inducted at WM 24, the first Wrestlemania afte rhis death, like Eddie. Eddie was inducted into the HOF at WM22, the first wrestlemania after his death.
Benoit was a great wrestler he was one of the best techical wrestlers he definately deserved to be inducted if he hadnt done that horrible thing.

Chris Who?
As far as WWE is concerned Chris Benoit never existed. It was a difficult situation for Vince and WWE, especially when steroids were brought up. Aside from the natural sadness of the tragedy, from a business standpoint, Benoit is perpetual bad press. The only way to deal with it is to permanently ignore his existence. Time will never heal a wound like this. No matter how long they wait, people will remember and many will be against any positive mention of a man who murdered his family. For all that Benoit did for the company, there is no way to erase the blot he put on the industry. Honoring him would be honoring a murderer, in the eyes of the public. Vince shouldn't do that and he won't do that.

Although I think Chris Benoit deserves all of those accolades, the hall of fame, the tributes, etc. I think the whole situation is something that the WWE wants to just disappear and disassociate from. I don't think the WWE would ever want to rekindle any of the ill feelings that came from Chris Benoit's out-of-ring problems and ultimately the murder-suicide. I don't think the WWE will do anything as a tribute to Benoit nor will he ever be in the WWE hall of fame.

That is a good question. Although he was a good wrestler, as a person he made mistakes and we have no right to judge but it is up to Vince. I am really not sure if he will ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame or featured in anything involving the WWE.

unfortunately, his actions outside the ring overshadows his actions inside the ring.
To disassociate his company with benoit's actions, remove every and all images of benoit. the only thing he cannot his title wins, which had to be put down in the title history. Vince listened to the masses and remove benoit; he didn't want the scandal of a wrestler who killed his wife and child.

He killed himself, his wife, and his son. It is possible he was on steroids too and after his memorial nothing was mentioned of him in the WWE. If he was still with us he could make it into the HoF I'd say though.
