WWE Encyclopedia Author Says Chris Benoit is Mentioned in the Second Book
- WWE Encyclopedia author Kevin Sullivan has confirmed that Chris Benoit will again be mentioned in the second volume of the WWE Encyclopedia. Many of WWE's title histories
and publications have mentioned Benoit in the past few years. Vince McMahon spoke on the controversial subject, noting the following in a 2009 interview…
"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 okay, and it's another thing to promote him, which is not okay.
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."
That's probably the most logical statement I've heard from Vince in years, and is pretty much my same sentiment. By attempting to erase Benoit's
existence, you're erasing part of the history of so many other guys.
