#4 The fans get a chance to see his matches on the Network
By erasing Chris Benoit from the history books, WWE has also removed some memorable matches from the limelight. And these matches are not random content that could be thrown away; they are gems that are worth watching over and over again.
The Triple Threat match between Benoit, Shawn Michaels and Triple H at WrestleMania XX, the showdowns of Kurt Angle and Benoit at WrestleMania 17 and Royal Rumble 2003 and the matches that Benoit had with Chris Jericho, are just some of the matches that belong to this list. Though they are available on the Network, they barely get a plug anywhere else. And in the network as well: WWE comes up with an advisory warning.
Not only is WWE erasing the legacy of Benoit, but they are also unfair to Benoit’s opponents, whose resume will not be complete without matches like these.
Inducting Benoit into the Hall of Fame, or at least acknowledging him opens the door to inviting more eyes to his great matches on the Network and it could be even used to teach new signings in the performance centre because they are that good.
