Should Chris Benoit Go Into The Hall Of Fame?

I really have no idea about this one. At first I would say yes in a heart beat, going back to Eddie Guerrero, Some realized that he was an all time great AFTER he was dead. You think that Benoit will go into it? But after I found out what he did, it made me slightly reconsider. Anyway, the Hall Of Fame is a place that superstars who contributed into the world of Pro-Wrestling. It should matter what he did, no matter how evil it is.

Whats your story?

The murder-suicide Hall of Fame? No I've never even heard of him.

I think so yes, ONe Should be judge on what he did his WHOLE life and not one incident.q8hr

Ah right, so ill go and kill your family. Then ill been seen as a good guy because hey!! its one incident. A murderer should not be famed.

Incident? He MURDERED his wife and his kid, and then killed himself. Kids look up to these people. He should be forgotten.

Steroids, drugs, murder (?).. I dunno.. It's a tough situation.DeeJayInphinity

hey i believe he did it too but theres no evidence so far so we cant just accuse him

Hahhaha I know. The guy has R.I.P My Hero and a picture of benoit as his sig, so you can't take anything he says too seriously.

Yes, and here's why.

Chris Benoit is a product of an industry that basically requires the use of steroids. Now, while he did have the choice, ultimately, as to whether to take them or not, had he not, there's no way he would have been able to compete the way that he did. So for the WWE, the very company that was a big factor in what happened, to keep Benoit out of the Hall of Fame, when theHall of Fameis basically all juiced-up muscle heads, seems like a hypocracy.

first of all i find it funny that there is a wrestling hall of fame seeing as how its not real and they are not athletes, but to get to the topic, no way in hell should he be let in, they banned pete rose from the baseball hall of fame andall he did was gamble a little bit, not kill hiswhole familyg-unit248

I see what all of you are saying, but the Hall Of Fame is for people who did amazing things in the wrestling buisness. All 6 commentators (J.R., King, Micheal Cole, JBL, Tazz, Joey Styles) say that he would be a sure fire hall of famer. I think that he should be for what he has done to the WWE, and that was bring it HUGE amounts of money in 2004. If the WWE counted steroids then lots of people wouldnt be in it. If you counted personal life, then Eddie Guerrero would not have been even close to getting in the Hall Of Fame (RIP) he was a drug addict for 4 years. He still made it in!

I still think that the WWE is trying to not associate itself with a "murderer" (not sure if its confirmed) because then that would mean bad marketting and bad buisness.

If you counted Wrestling Ability, Chris Benoit was one of the Top Of The Hill. He was one of the best technicians in the world, along Bret Hart and many other greats.

His personal life, sadly. (once again not sure if he did it) has scarred him and the Benoit name forever. I personally love Benoit as a wrestler, and people who have met him said that he was a great guy that demanded respect, and you always had to respect them (Triple H and John Cena)

Despite everything, the WRESTLER Chris Benoit will be missed forever

I see what you're saying and it's probably the most convincing thing I've read in favor of Benoit's induction, but the pure simple fact is that he is a murderer. He didn't just O.D. or hang himself, he killed his wife on Friday, and then 24 hours later killed is 7 year old son and then several hours later hanged himself. That was not roid rage, (unless roid rage extends past momentary heightened anger), it was a depressed and disturbed man who murdered his family. It's different than the Eddie Guererro ordeal, or any other wrestler that died in the past.

obviously everyone has their own opinions, and i am really not trying to bash an entertainment source that you clearly enjoy, but getting all juiced up on roids and learning how to fall (which is essentially all the stunts are) is not athletic in my book, real wrestlers are definitely athletic, but these people are essentially actors imo

I certainly don't hold this sports entertainment form of wrestling in any high regard, but I won't discount the physical strain it puts on the individual. These men and women are doing this type of thing all throughout the year and there is no denying that they are doing major harm to their bodies.

Just look at Hulk Hogan, he needs cortizone shots in his knees just to be able hop in the ring every so often, not to mention that most of his lower extremidies are probably all reconstructed to some degree.

Sports entertainment wrestlers are definately athletic, they back flip, jump from insane heights and destroy their bodies. I think the one "fight" that made me realise this was the Undertaker/Mankind fight from around '98. Watch that and tell me they aren't athletes.

Here is the video:

Trust me, I was a massive skeptic before I saw this and after that I had much more respect for the wrestlers and what they put their bodies through.

NO ! We should never reward anyone who did what he did. Put it like this if he did not kill himself and just his family would he have been put up in the hall of fame ? I don't think so.

Correct me if im wrong but last i knew nothing was proven(murder wise). In any case he probably will end up in there.its a shame that you REALLY get famous once you're dead.

When I think of Hall Of Fame I think about what he did in the wrestling business and not his personal life. So sure, Hall Of Fame in the ring, but Hall Of Shame of what he did outside the ring.

I really have no idea about this one. At first I would say yes in a heart beat, going back to Eddie Guerrero, Some realized that he was an all time great AFTER he was dead.

c'mon should hitler go into the "best speaker" hall of fame?

No, because the hall of fame is dedicated to those that were good wrestlers and good people.Powerhitter0418

I don't know, it's not called the "Hall of Good People". It's called the "Hall of Fame". That tells me that you get in if you're famous enough.
