Benoit into the HOF?
Should Chris Benoit be inducted into the Hall of Fame?
First topic message reminder :
I was reading though twitter earlier and noticed one from JR after being asked if Chris Benoit would ever get inducted into the HOF.
This is what JR had to say.
"Chris Benoit will never be inducted into WWE HOF Great wrestler but horrific ending to his life overrides career."
It's sad to think that he's whole career is overshadowed by what was a tragic ending of his,he's wife and child's lives and obviously the WWE can't be seen to be condoning what he did as it would cause outrage to most people and the negative publicity it will get for it but should what happened outside of wrestling decide whether you go into the HOF or not?
If it does why is Stone Cold in there he was charged with Domestic Abuse towards he's wife surely that's not the reputation WWE wants? Admittedly there is a difference between Murder and Domestic Abuse but surely WWE wouldn't want to be seen alongside a women beater either?
We all know how excellent of a wrestler Chris was weather in NJPW,ECW,WCW or WWE. He has won endless titles around the world in several companies, He had a 5 star match vs Great Sasuke in 94 and has been named best techincal wrestler on 5 separate occasions and was one of the most gifted wrestlers about.
This leads to me to a few questions for you guys
Should Benoit be in the HOF?
Will he be in the HOF?
Should the HOF be decided by what's done in your career?
If not why should others with previous history's been allowed? Bam Bam Bigelow , Eddie Guerrero e.g Drug Abuse, Domestic Abuses etc.
Personally I doubt we'll ever see Chris in the HOF despite how great a wrestler he was if we ever do it won't be for a long long time.
PS: Chris Benoit jokes will be deleted immediately.

If he was mentally ill he was certainly clever and sane enough to hide it from WWE. If i remember rightly the night he died he was due to win the ECW championship. If he was that ill and had the functions of a ten year old there is now way he would have been in such a position.

You can be mentally unstable and still be able to function, like many scizophrenics. All it takes is one thing to set you off.
