I am convinced it will happen one day. The mans contributions to the business are immense. When will the unfortunate (but completely not his fault) events around his passing be dismissed and the man be honored?

Maybe with Trips in control, it will finally happen?

He is a HOF in our hearts brother.

Don't fucking talk about Benoit. Delete this thread.

its been over 20 years since the murder. its time to put him in

Why would they put him into the HOF? There's nothing to gain from it and all it will do is bring negative press, which now that the owning company is publicly owned is something they will run from.

It will draw gigadimes. Doesn't matter how many faggots virtue signal on Twitter, if they start selling his merch again and do an induction ceremony with his surviving son accepting on his behalf, it will draw

>>20668363
His contributions are actually even bigger than his in ring legacy... The murder/suicide fundamentally changed the way the business operates due to it forcing CTE and its consequences into the public eye. Had it not happened this would never have occured.

He is, unironically, a hero.

THERES NO HOLDING ME BACK

>>20671194
Calling Chris Benoit a "hero" is dead wrong. No matter what happened to his brain, calling a man who spent a weekend terrorizing and murdering his wife Nancy and his 7-year-old son Daniel a "hero" is a massive insult to the actual victims.

Literally never.
WWE wont spotlight a guy who almost shoot killed the business.
>>
>>20671189
Who would it draw? No lapsed fan cares enough by this point to start watching again because of this and even if they did it wouldn't outweigh the negative attention it would bring
>>
>>20671438
It would draw merch sales, start making a big deal of his rehabilitation/induction and make tie in video game appearances and start selling his figures and merch and it will draw money. I didn't mean draw to watch their dogshit product today.
>>
>>20671470
Whether it's money or ratings, you are still missing the point: WHO is this intended to draw? 40 year olds who don't watch the product anyway and don't have enough nostalgia for a guy who was a midcarder for most of his career?

IWC.

He’s not that much of a draw, only those who consider being good at wrestling makes killing your family ok would turn in and those are a tiny minority. And even being thought of as profiting off a family annihilator would instantly make the company a shitstain in the eyes of the public. Vince wasn’t stupid enough to do it and TKO certainly isn’t

Basically this. As long as the CTE scam is still ongoing, their best scapegoat will never be inducted.
>>
It easy to spot the reddit fags in this post
>>
In 100 years time
No one will care by then
>>
>>20668363
yeah he should be in the Worlds Worst Entertainers Hall of Fame
>>
>>20668363

He was innocent. He was as framed for something he didnt do. There are clues everywhere on the web
>>
Such low hanging fruit. At least /wooo/ had funny shit like hacking the suicide Facebook
