Nick Corvello-- What the fuck are you talking about? Everything he did across all wrestling promotions is on the WWE network. The only thing they removed is the time stamps on each PPV that say when his matches are with his name on the card.
Matthew Cloister The thing is, the medical reports from Chris Benoits autopsy showed that due to the number of head injuries he had suffered, coupled with steroid abuse meant that he was suffering from extreme brain damage at the time. So it's entirely possible that Chris Benoit WAS NOT in control of his own actions at the time. Considering how out of character his actions were (He had a reputation among his peers as a "Hard working family man" LONG before 2007), the fact that he had no logical motive (He wasn't a serial killer, he probably didn't think his family "deserved" to die, or he wouldn't have killed himself, he was ALREADY world famous and he certainly didn't get any money out of it). Not to mention he didn't leave your typical suicide note. Now which of these sounds more likely: Chris Benoit, a man known to his friends as a humble, hard-working family man and all around decent bloke, randomly decided one day "You know what? I think I might kill my only family. Oh, and myself as well. Because reasons." Or that same man, losing control of himself due to severe brain problems, attacking his family in a fit of uncontrolled violence, coming out of it only to realise that the two people he loved most in the world were dead and HE was the one who had killed them. They were never coming back, and there was NOTHING he could say or do that would make things better. Imagine if you were in that position? How much you would HATE yourself at that moment. I think just about anyone would commit suicide at that point. In many ways, I feel Chris Benoit is just as much a victim as the rest of his family. The WHOLE thing was a tragedy.
FIFA BROS HD If he wasn't in control of his actions though, can he truly be held responsible for them? There's a reason many violent people are in mental hospitals instead of jail. It's because they NEED the help. They don't WANT to hurt anyone, but they literally can't stop themselves.
I wouldn't put stock in rumours like that. If Sullivan were proven guilty, Chris Benoit's friends like Chavo Guerrero and Chris Jericho would know and there is no way they would keep such information hidden.

@@VegitoBlueYTYeah, I'd say so. He did acknowledge everything Benoit did but promoting him in future content shouldn't be a thing. So to answer your question; yes
It's pretty much impossible to erase Chris Benoit from history, because he was involved in some of the greatest matches in WWE. Including, the two triple threat matches he had against Triple H and Shawn Michaels. And I think one of them took place at WrestleMania.
Nidav3 link me this mythical interview. but none the less you are correct. due to several reasons most of which are unknown Punk is tired and went on a break. He's on leave from the company but still signed with wwe. if you fucking check wwe.com he's still on the superstar list FunnyStuff

It wasn't one one second trust I counted before he finished the question and Punk answered it immediately, even if they wanted to put an opinion Punk beat them to the Punch
Well thing is, I feel like none of them besides Punk could’ve answered that question. Punk had been around for the company longer than they did, and he’s the only one that was in when Benoit was still alive.
To me here, it felt right that Punk answered this question. Especially feels a bit more sincere when you take into consideration that Benoit's last WWE appearance was on ECW where he got into the ring and shook hands with Punk.
For a good reason man. One wrong word and either you are canneled by Vince, the Network or Twitter. Its a damn sensitive question and a normal -employee (haha, as if WWE would employ wrestlers)- independent contractor shouldnt be asked about that What was the point of asking this? Even when the answer would be "yes we are trying to erase him from our history"? Crying?
I never understand this infatuation fans have with Chris Benoit , John Cena said it best. He was talented but he did something terrible and that deserves zero acknowledgement out of respect for those who have permanently loss from his decision
Yeah, people like to say "Well he had brain damage." His actions, the choices he made. They lead him to that damage. It sucks, but it is what it is. He was just as responsible as anyone else for what lead to it happening.
what people dont like is how WWE tried to erase him. Sure we get where they're coming from but you have to admit his existence so people could learn from the past and choose a different path.
@@rbg75 I think that wwe erasing him completely is the best way to do it. and people can learn by how he is treated. because any new fan of wwe will eventually know about Chris benoit.
@@MikeSakaru So you mean you can pinpoint which decision/action of yours will make you a psychopath later on in life? You can figure that out in advance? So, why do people die at all from brain diseases, why not control them in advance? Secondly, assume Benoit only did suicide and not killed his wife and son, would you say the same thing? He lost his own life too, but hey your forgot, a man's life is of no value to you, is it? Sorry to say, but it was a waste of first world country's money when educated people who don't even understand how brain works. Having sympathy for cancer patients but making fun of those with brain problems, if that's what defines you then God help you, if he/she exists.

Shin Megami Tensei Fan-Made Games Actually 3 people. Rey Mysterio won the Royal Rumble as well. And don't say "but he was nr. 2" because in the Royal Rumble it's basically nr.1 as well.
They normally reference the fact that two people have won from the #2 slot, Vince and Rey, and that 2 people have won from the #1 slot, where they only reference Shawn Micheals, so the WWE does make a clear distinction between the #1 and 2 slots in the Rumble, despite there being no pragmatic difference between the two slots. That said, if they were truly trying to erase Benoit from history, they would say that only 1 person has won from the #1 spot. They may make it glaringly obvious that they are ignoring him but they aren't erasing him.
Exactly, they say two people won. It's essentially what Punk is talking about in the video. By mentioning two people have won from the #1 spot, they are acknowledging that Benoit's win is a part of WWE history and are acknowledging it existed. However, WWE doesn't want to promote Benoit, so they choose not to mention him. If they wanted to erase him and truly act like he never existed, they would say only one person has won from #1.
Chris Benoit sacrificed a part of his sanity by doing all those diving headbutts... And I'm pretty sure he sacrificed his sanity for the Wrestling fans and the people who watched him...
bummblefaggot That's WHY I want to be able to watch the old matches. I want to remember the good, not the bad. Honour the man he was, mourn what he became.
I've never understood smarks bringing up Benoit....he did some horrific things, why should the WWE promote his image? It's right that he doesn't get talked about.
@Ethan Steel It's the fact that nobody acknowledges he had very severe and unrecoverable brain damage. He may as well have been an entirely different person. He had the brain of an 80+ year old with Alzheimer's. Dude was probably in and out of all kinds of different realities and probably didn't know what he was doing one minute to another. Probably killed himself because he lapsed back into awareness and realized what he did. Alzheimer's is awful and does way more than just cause memory loss. It's even worse that it was due to so many concussions and head trauma.
@@ianraymondback So you're gonna call a man evil for circumstances entirely out of his control? Your comment shows you have absolutely zero idea how the condition works. You're not you, my aunt would literally attack her husband because she didn't know who he was. And she'd try to escape her own home because she didn't know where she was. You're pretending like he had all the self control in the world and just chose to murder his family one day. Despite the fact he was known by literally everybody he knew as a good father. You want somebody to blame for his tragedy? Blame WWE staff for knowing he had concussions and making him wrestle with them. Jump off a top rope and headbutt the fucking floor for a few years and you tell me how spry and good you feel.
Is partially thier fault they weren’t checking up on their wrestlers like that did you see about his brain .. ain’t no way they should have been doing yearly evaluations with all those chair headshots and concussions and stuff 🤦🏽♂️
CM Punk was thee PERFECT person to answer this question from the fan. Given the fact that Shemus and Zack Ryder weren’t even in the WWE at that point and Punk was AND the fact that Punk actually knew Chris Benoit and was scheduled to wrestle him at Vengence: Night of Champions that Sunday night, who better than CM Punk?
wwe still acknowledges him in some situations, like michael cole saying only two men have won the royal rumble as number one, one of which being shawn michaels
I'd say WWE is trying to erase Chris Benoit. The history books now show that the wrestlemania 20 main event for the world heavyweight championship was Triple H vs Shawn Michaels vs Nobody. That night, the bout went to a no contest and the world heavyweight championship mysteriously vanished. Five months later, the title reappeared at summerslam, and was awarded to Randy Orton.
Rewsterwing I was kidding. WWE isn't erasing benoit from history, they're just not promoting him. He's got a few matches on the WWE network, so you know that there is some minor respect that the WWE has for him. They haven't forgotten about him, they just need to do what is necessary, given the situation.
***** His name is there, but the description or any link associated to his name has been removed. Like I said, WWE isn't promoting him as a former WWE superstar, but they're still acknowledging his contribution the company. Hence why he has some matches on the WWE network. It's gonna be hard to erase him completely.
***** So more than just his name. No image though. But like I said, it's not like he was completely removed from the WWE. It's not like Vince has completely disregarded all contributions he made to the company. His his legacy left behind in the WWE; the matches he had for the company will remain. There are some boundaries that I guess were taken to ensure he won't be completely buried, while subsequently ensuring that the WWE does not try and promote him, after all that happened.
well he was working for them at the time. if he just sits there quietly then people will say he was just all script and can't talk in real life and he will be labeled as ingrate because wwe gave him opportunity to become who he is today.
I love the reactions from Zack and Sheamus after he asked the question. You can just tell what's going through their heads. Zack: "Oh crap! What do I say? What do I say??? Oh, Punk responded first? Whew! I dodged a bullet there!" Sheamus: *shaking his head ever-so-slightly* "Did you really just ask that?"
If the WWE viewed Benoit from a professional standpoint, he'd be in the hall of fame and none of his past achievements would have been removed from history. The WWE only looked at this from a personal point of view and had no choice
Correct, but lets say they make a surprise induction of Chris Benoit next year. WWE has sponsors, promoting numerous things to kids, and I am almost certain those Sponsors want nothing to do with Benoit. The internet would eat WWE alive. The Media would eat WWE alive. Benoit was amazing, and if he was still here, he’d be a hall of famer, no doubt in my mind. But he killed his wife and child. At that point, they’d have to view it from a personal POV.
@@MegaAnkit28 Agreed. 75% of WWEs sponsorships are things for Woman/Children/Troops & Etc they would rape the shit out of WWE if he was in the hall of fame. tbh I want Chris in the hall of fame but we all know they won’t even put him their
8 years after i am not surprised that it has softened up anout what happened and us wwe fans that grew up watching chris benoit might not like the idea of what he did but i just ignore that and watch his matches and acknowledge that he is one of the greatest.
CHRIS BENIOT SHOULD BE PUT IN HALL OF FAME NOMATTER WHAT HE DID TO HIS FAMILY AND TO HIMSELF THATS HIS PERSONAL LIFE WHEN ITS COMES TO IN THE RING HE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST AND U CANT JUST IGNORE THAT
Would you put Osama bin laden in the worlds list of great people because he helped around a thousand muslim people change the religion to what ' they ' wanted? In a way he changed many lives but the really bad thing he did was 9/11. A bad accomplishment always overrules a good one, even that really fucked up example.
I dont give a shit if he was the wrestling god, WWE is right to do what its doing, have some respect for the family damn it. Quit making this murderer seem like a saint, it doesnt matter how good he was
Now the question is...Is the WWE going to try to erase CM Punk now for him walking out on WWE? If it is not a "work" or a "shoot" then what is it? CM Punk in ROH or TNA now?
No. WWE is still uploading videos of Kurt Angle titantrons and matches and still has a page dedicated to him on the official site even though he left the company for TNA like 8 years ago. WWE won't be erasing their history and records of CM Punk, unless of course he becomes a murderer. The same goes for any of their other talent past or present that they currently acknowledge.
M Hale But there is a big difference between Kurt and Punk. Kurt had a deal with TNA while in WWE, his contract was 2 or 3 more years still in and he asked nicely to leave and because Vince wanted to make him happy he let him go. Punk continually battered the show, saying it was horrible, talking the horrible truth and went on like that ever since the pipe bomb, which was not scripted. Big difference between kindness and bashing.
***** Did you even read my post at all? CM Punk's bashing of the company has nothing to do with whether or not WWE will continue to acknowledge him. There's still a page on WWE's site for both Punk and Angle right now, go look. As long as no current or past superstar becomes a murderer like Benoit, WWE will continue to acknowledge them. If CM Punk goes and kills someone, you can bet your ass that WWE will remove his page from their site and every single video related to him in an instant.
Dam back in 2012 San Diego comic con, my hometown I definitely gotta gotta get a entry ticket so badly and meet superstars and ask them these kind of question would be really the best thing too say as a fan In celebrity meeting, This really was emotional to Cm punk cause he was great idol to him and talented performers in the ring. He was suppose to face him in the ECW night of champions 2007 agreed and shook each other hands the last night they saw each other it never happen.
Knowing the kind of person CM Punk is, he was probably the best person to answer that question out of any other wrestler I can think of. CM Punk isn't just a wrestler, he's a wrestling FAN, as well, hence why he uses so many unorthodox techniques used by other wrestlers nobody's even heard about. The Koji Clutch is a good example.
Maybe my opinion is upopular, but Benoit did what he did because of brain damage. He was not himself, as basically every shocked fellow wrestler can testify. Too many concussions, too many steroids. And i blame the industry for that before i blame him, so i can't really agree with people depicting him as a monster. None the less, it was a tragedy and he shouldn't be inducted into the Hall of Fame because of that. It would be nonsensical. About the censoring, i think the company is just protecting his business. I quitted watching wrestling on a regular base and didn't go back watching it for years, because of what happened with him. People can get very sensitive, and for good reasons, about this. I completely understand why WWE doesn't mention Benoit at all anymore.
Shendue WWE are not responsible for his actions. Also, watch 2003 Royal Rumble dvd, Benoit hints in an interview he has problems with personal life in extras
I give the fan credit for asking that question definitely took bravery and Punk handled that response so well I mean can you blame the fan for asking it is hard to try to erase benoit especially if you look at his past accomplishments
i like how punk handled that, it was a mature answer, chris still my favorite wrestler of all time, but i dont mind the "not talk about him" approach WWE has with him, what he did was unforgivable, he still my hero tho.
plot twist: cm punk murdered chris and his family, why? because cm punk was supposed to fight chris before chris died, but punk knew he'd end up in a face lock and get defeated by chris, which would leed to punks career starting off slowly, so that night he snuck into benoits home, hid under his bed until everyone fell alseep. then one thing led to another and that's why he spoke up so fast in this video.
Sheamus had a pissed off look on his face whenever that fan spoke lol, he was slightly shaking his head when he initially asked the question and when he was trying to say they blacked him out
It is true, because its WWE putting altered images on CZcams, with Chris's image erased. Punk was wrong and he knew it, so he made a smart ass comment.
Two reasons why. 1.The tragedy what Chris did 2. CTE/abuse of steroids use that made WWE change their ways and I guess Vince is trying his best to erase Benoit so that they won't blame him for it.
As a wrestler one of the best who ever lived, as a human before the events one of the best in the world. The monster that committed the acts, unforgivable..
It makes sense that Punk was the one to answer the question. He avoided the awkward silence and confusion there would’ve been if he didn’t answer immediately.
Look closely at Sheamus and Zack as the dude asks the question, you can see how they immediately realise how cautious they need to be with this question. Punk handled it perfectly.
Ryder and Sheamus should be glad they had Punk with them, you could tell how uncomfortable both of them were when that question was asked. Look at Sheamus's face at 0:06 he looks sad immediately after that question was asked. I do get why they didn't want to comment on that, answer that question wrong and your career might be over(as in wwe burying you all the time like they are doing it to Ryder atm)
Punk handled that very well.
jeah
He was perhaps the most qualified to answer the question since Benoit's last program in WWE was with Punk in ECW.
jack reynolds No Sheamus was in the wwe at that time but he was a security guard not a wrestler.

HAHA BUT WWE IS TRYING TO ERASE CM PUNK FROM HISTORY
he hasn't done anything illegal yet ...
They can't erase him from history, they just won't promote him in anything
Erase and promote are two different things. Also he's all over top 5/10s on WWE... obviously you haven't been watching...
Why?
Judd not anymore
1) that dude had BALLS asking that question
2) I love how whenever the fan is done answering the question, Zack Ryder looks at CM Punk like "Umm... wanna take this one?"
you mean asking?
Viper Yeah, sorry
Hotrodjman Official actually disappointed with Punk's answer. it was way too political, he covered for WWE with a bs answer. "not promoting him further" doesnt mean they have to delete OLD archive footage. the audience member's question wasnt answered
Having balls and lacking common sense are too different things..of course the WWE is going to separate themselves from a former wrestler who killed wife and kid before taking his own life. He brutality murdered his family.
I know this was 3 years ago but zack looked at punk after he started talking

For a good reason man.
One wrong word and either you are canneled by Vince, the Network or Twitter.
Its a damn sensitive question and a normal -employee (haha, as if WWE would employ wrestlers)- independent contractor shouldnt be asked about that
What was the point of asking this? Even when the answer would be "yes we are trying to erase him from our history"? Crying?
I never understand this infatuation fans have with Chris Benoit , John Cena said it best. He was talented but he did something terrible and that deserves zero acknowledgement out of respect for those who have permanently loss from his decision
Yeah, people like to say "Well he had brain damage."
His actions, the choices he made. They lead him to that damage. It sucks, but it is what it is. He was just as responsible as anyone else for what lead to it happening.
what people dont like is how WWE tried to erase him.
Sure we get where they're coming from but you have to admit his existence so people could learn from the past and choose a different path.
@@rbg75 I think that wwe erasing him completely is the best way to do it. and people can learn by how he is treated. because any new fan of wwe will eventually know about Chris benoit.

@@MikeSakaru So you mean you can pinpoint which decision/action of yours will make you a psychopath later on in life?
You can figure that out in advance? So, why do people die at all from brain diseases, why not control them in advance?
Secondly, assume Benoit only did suicide and not killed his wife and son, would you say the same thing?
He lost his own life too, but hey your forgot, a man's life is of no value to you, is it?
Sorry to say, but it was a waste of first world country's money when educated people who don't even understand how brain works. Having sympathy for cancer patients but making fun of those with brain problems, if that's what defines you then God help you, if he/she exists.

0:53 Zack Ryder and Sheamus were like "This mf handled it very well"
"We're not trying to erase Chris Benoit from history"
List of former world champs and Benoit isn't mentioned
www.wwe.com/classics/titlehistory/worldheavyweight
He's listed right here.
Yea like Francisco said you oughta check that again. He's definietly on that list.
Shin Megami Tensei Fan-Made Games Actually 3 people. Rey Mysterio won the Royal Rumble as well. And don't say "but he was nr. 2" because in the Royal Rumble it's basically nr.1 as well.
They normally reference the fact that two people have won from the #2 slot, Vince and Rey, and that 2 people have won from the #1 slot, where they only reference Shawn Micheals, so the WWE does make a clear distinction between the #1 and 2 slots in the Rumble, despite there being no pragmatic difference between the two slots. That said, if they were truly trying to erase Benoit from history, they would say that only 1 person has won from the #1 spot. They may make it glaringly obvious that they are ignoring him but they aren't erasing him.
Exactly, they say two people won. It's essentially what Punk is talking about in the video. By mentioning two people have won from the #1 spot, they are acknowledging that Benoit's win is a part of WWE history and are acknowledging it existed. However, WWE doesn't want to promote Benoit, so they choose not to mention him. If they wanted to erase him and truly act like he never existed, they would say only one person has won from #1.
Chris Benoit sacrificed a part of his sanity by doing all those diving headbutts...
And I'm pretty sure he sacrificed his sanity for the Wrestling fans and the people who watched him...
Agreed and people still don't get to this day that he had brain damage
He also killed his wife and son. Just saying.
Super Niño seriously people make mistake look past it he was a great wrestler and made a lot of sacrifices JUST SAYIN

Everyone so relieved Punk answered the question
Punk basically said, "I know, you know and we all know. Yet I'll explain again".
I've never understood smarks bringing up Benoit....he did some horrific things, why should the WWE promote his image? It's right that he doesn't get talked about.
@Ethan Steel It's the fact that nobody acknowledges he had very severe and unrecoverable brain damage. He may as well have been an entirely different person. He had the brain of an 80+ year old with Alzheimer's. Dude was probably in and out of all kinds of different realities and probably didn't know what he was doing one minute to another. Probably killed himself because he lapsed back into awareness and realized what he did. Alzheimer's is awful and does way more than just cause memory loss. It's even worse that it was due to so many concussions and head trauma.

Punk never feared Vince
Punk turns the wwes most haunting topic into a joke at the end just shows he saved there asses
CM Punk was thee PERFECT person to answer this question from the fan. Given the fact that Shemus and Zack Ryder weren’t even in the WWE at that point and Punk was AND the fact that Punk actually knew Chris Benoit and was scheduled to wrestle him at Vengence: Night of Champions that Sunday night, who better than CM Punk?
Seems like CM Punk has great mic skills in real life as well.
That was a classy response from Punk. Couldn't have handled it any better
Holy shit, Punk is so quick with that reply yet damn reasonable.
wwe still acknowledges him in some situations, like michael cole saying only two men have won the royal rumble as number one, one of which being shawn michaels
Punk was the only one liable to answer that question, that's why the guys waited for him to speak knowing that he was in the best place to do so
0:49 best sarcastic answer from CM PUNK, he is the Man!
Asking that was crazy
my favorite wrestling moment was wrestlemania 20 when eddie and chris were in the ring together both made it to the top.
I'd say WWE is trying to erase Chris Benoit. The history books now show that the wrestlemania 20 main event for the world heavyweight championship was Triple H vs Shawn Michaels vs Nobody. That night, the bout went to a no contest and the world heavyweight championship mysteriously vanished. Five months later, the title reappeared at summerslam, and was awarded to Randy Orton.
I have a WWE Encyclopedia book from 2008 and Benoit is in it.
Rewsterwing I was kidding. WWE isn't erasing benoit from history, they're just not promoting him. He's got a few matches on the WWE network, so you know that there is some minor respect that the WWE has for him. They haven't forgotten about him, they just need to do what is necessary, given the situation.
***** His name is there, but the description or any link associated to his name has been removed. Like I said, WWE isn't promoting him as a former WWE superstar, but they're still acknowledging his contribution the company. Hence why he has some matches on the WWE network. It's gonna be hard to erase him completely.
***** So more than just his name. No image though. But like I said, it's not like he was completely removed from the WWE. It's not like Vince has completely disregarded all contributions he made to the company. His his legacy left behind in the WWE; the matches he had for the company will remain. There are some boundaries that I guess were taken to ensure he won't be completely buried, while subsequently ensuring that the WWE does not try and promote him, after all that happened.
Such rare thing.. where CM Punk speaks for WWE instead of against them.. and saves them from controversy..
well he was working for them at the time. if he just sits there quietly then people will say he was just all script and can't talk in real life and he will be labeled as ingrate because wwe gave him opportunity to become who he is today.
I bet Zach and Shamus were mortified about answering that question and breathed a sigh of relief when Punk took ownership and handled it like a pro.
I love the reactions from Zack and Sheamus after he asked the question. You can just tell what's going through their heads.
Zack: "Oh crap! What do I say? What do I say??? Oh, Punk responded first? Whew! I dodged a bullet there!"
Sheamus: *shaking his head ever-so-slightly* "Did you really just ask that?"
Ryder: Who's gonna answer?
Sheamus: Not me fella.
Ryder: Neither will I.
Punk: I wanna end my career anyways so I'll answer it
I just realized how big Sheamus’s head is
I love how punk takes the word and handles it like this it shows how good he is with words
If the WWE viewed Benoit from a professional standpoint, he'd be in the hall of fame and none of his past achievements would have been removed from history. The WWE only looked at this from a personal point of view and had no choice
JigginsTV It's not really WWEs fault. The media would chew WWE alive if they put Chris Benoit in the Hall of Fame
JigginsTV true this comment needs to get notice
Correct, but lets say they make a surprise induction of Chris Benoit next year. WWE has sponsors, promoting numerous things to kids, and I am almost certain those Sponsors want nothing to do with Benoit. The internet would eat WWE alive. The Media would eat WWE alive.
Benoit was amazing, and if he was still here, he’d be a hall of famer, no doubt in my mind. But he killed his wife and child. At that point, they’d have to view it from a personal POV.

8 years after i am not surprised that it has softened up anout what happened and us wwe fans that grew up watching chris benoit might not like the idea of what he did but i just ignore that and watch his matches and acknowledge that he is one of the greatest.
CHRIS BENIOT SHOULD BE PUT IN HALL OF FAME NOMATTER WHAT HE DID TO HIS FAMILY AND TO HIMSELF THATS HIS PERSONAL LIFE WHEN ITS COMES TO IN THE RING HE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST AND U CANT JUST IGNORE THAT
Would you put Osama bin laden in the worlds list of great people because he helped around a thousand muslim people change the religion to what ' they ' wanted?

I dont give a shit if he was the wrestling god, WWE is right to do what its doing, have some respect for the family damn it. Quit making this murderer seem like a saint, it doesnt matter how good he was
Pete Rose is out of the hall for disrespecting the game. Chris disrespected the fans, his family, and life in general. he is noone's role model.
Ryder and Sheamus were so glad Punk was there
This video always comes up in my recommended
Once again with the recommendations 8 years later
Now the question is...Is the WWE going to try to erase CM Punk now for him walking out on WWE? If it is not a "work" or a "shoot" then what is it? CM Punk in ROH or TNA now?
No.
WWE is still uploading videos of Kurt Angle titantrons and matches and still has a page dedicated to him on the official site even though he left the company for TNA like 8 years ago.
WWE won't be erasing their history and records of CM Punk, unless of course he becomes a murderer. The same goes for any of their other talent past or present that they currently acknowledge.
M Hale But there is a big difference between Kurt and Punk. Kurt had a deal with TNA while in WWE, his contract was 2 or 3 more years still in and he asked nicely to leave and because Vince wanted to make him happy he let him go. Punk continually battered the show, saying it was horrible, talking the horrible truth and went on like that ever since the pipe bomb, which was not scripted. Big difference between kindness and bashing.
kurt angle didnt bitch out in wwe, he stay professional and perform his duty.. Pls dont compare him to punk
***** Did you even read my post at all? CM Punk's bashing of the company has nothing to do with whether or not WWE will continue to acknowledge him. There's still a page on WWE's site for both Punk and Angle right now, go look. As long as no current or past superstar becomes a murderer like Benoit, WWE will continue to acknowledge them. If CM Punk goes and kills someone, you can bet your ass that WWE will remove his page from their site and every single video related to him in an instant.

Dam back in 2012 San Diego comic con, my hometown I definitely gotta gotta get a entry ticket so badly and meet superstars and ask them these kind of question would be really the best thing too say as a fan In celebrity meeting, This really was emotional to Cm punk cause he was great idol to him and talented performers in the ring. He was suppose to face him in the ECW night of champions 2007 agreed and shook each other hands the last night they saw each other it never happen.
Hanging his head and the downward inflection of his voice, tells me that he's exhausted from having to hear this question.
Knowing the kind of person CM Punk is, he was probably the best person to answer that question out of any other wrestler I can think of. CM Punk isn't just a wrestler, he's a wrestling FAN, as well, hence why he uses so many unorthodox techniques used by other wrestlers nobody's even heard about. The Koji Clutch is a good example.
Maybe my opinion is upopular, but Benoit did what he did because of brain damage. He was not himself, as basically every shocked fellow wrestler can testify.
Too many concussions, too many steroids. And i blame the industry for that before i blame him, so i can't really agree with people depicting him as a monster.
None the less, it was a tragedy and he shouldn't be inducted into the Hall of Fame because of that. It would be nonsensical.
About the censoring, i think the company is just protecting his business. I quitted watching wrestling on a regular base and didn't go back watching it for years, because of what happened with him. People can get very sensitive, and for good reasons, about this.
I completely understand why WWE doesn't mention Benoit at all anymore.
More like too many painkillers and other types of drugs. It's very very rare to see someone get the "roid rage".
Shendue WWE are not responsible for his actions. Also, watch 2003 Royal Rumble dvd, Benoit hints in an interview he has problems with personal life in extras
+Shendue your right, in a special his parents took his brain scans to specialists who said he had the mind of a 90 year old with Severe Alzheimer.
There is no brain damage u asshole

I give the fan credit for asking that question definitely took bravery
and Punk handled that response so well

i like how punk handled that, it was a mature answer, chris still my favorite wrestler of all time, but i dont mind the "not talk about him" approach WWE has with him, what he did was unforgivable, he still my hero tho.
The fact that it was punk that answered that and he did it so well is mind blowing
Awkward
Not really.
Punk was there. He handled it like a Pro. Zero awkwardness.
fix ya dying channel
plot twist: cm punk murdered chris and his family, why?
because cm punk was supposed to fight chris before chris died, but punk knew he'd end up in a face lock and get defeated by chris, which would leed to punks career starting off slowly, so that night he snuck into benoits home, hid under his bed until everyone fell alseep. then one thing led to another and that's why he spoke up so fast in this video.
Good theory haha
lol
Wtf man hahahaha
Sheamus had a pissed off look on his face whenever that fan spoke lol, he was slightly shaking his head when he initially asked the question and when he was trying to say they blacked him out

Two reasons why.
1.The tragedy what Chris did
2. CTE/abuse of steroids use that made WWE change their ways and I guess Vince is trying his best to erase Benoit so that they won't blame him for it.
As a wrestler one of the best who ever lived, as a human before the events one of the best in the world. The monster that committed the acts, unforgivable..
It makes sense that Punk was the one to answer the question. He avoided the awkward silence and confusion there would’ve been if he didn’t answer immediately.
Punk knows what tf he’s doing on a mic in or out of the ring
Look closely at Sheamus and Zack as the dude asks the question, you can see how they immediately realise how cautious they need to be with this question. Punk handled it perfectly.
"oh its on youtube so it must be true"

Ryder and Sheamus should be glad they had Punk with them, you could tell how uncomfortable both of them were when that question was asked. Look at Sheamus's face at 0:06 he looks sad immediately after that question was asked.
