– WWE’s “Untold History” magazine features comments from Chairman Vince McMahon prior to each segment of WWE’s timeline. Regarding the Chris Benoit situation and whether he can be acknowledged as part of WWE history, McMahon says:
“It’s not right to pretend he didn’t exist. It’s one thing to include him as part of a historical perspective, which I believe is OK, and it’s another thing to promote him, which is not OK. The situation is very similar to that of O.J. Simpson – despite his controversy, O.J. was still a part of the NFL scene. You can’t deny that he existed.”
