The WWE Moves On
As difficult as it'll be, the WWE will now attempt to move on.
"Last night on Monday Night Raw, the WWE presented a special tribute show, recognizing the career of Chris Benoit. However, now some 26 hours later, the facts of this horrific tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments, there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit tonight. On the contrary, tonight's show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight, the WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world – entertain you."
- Vince McMahon, prior to the start of ECW last night
As Vince McMahon announced last night prior to the start of ECW on Sci-Fi, the WWE will move on from the Chris Benoit tragedy. Everyone will get back to work and start entertaining fans again.
|
|
|
First and foremost, Vince McMahon needs to be recognized for how well he's handled the past few days. He's shown strength when his employees and fans of his product needed strength. Vince McMahon has made all the right moves amid the circumstances.
The WWE website has removed the majority of references to Chris Benoit. The wrestlers and announcers have been advised not to make any refrences to Chris Benoit. Future references to Chris Benoit, such as the WWE Hall of Fame, will be prevented from happening as well.
Don't be fooled either. Moving on isn't as easy as Vince McMahon is making it seem on TV. Deep down, he's probably more affected by this tragedy than most of us are. Vince McMahon has a much more personal relationship with Chris Benoit than most of us do.
|
His decisions have been made both with personal issues and business issues in mind. A lot of fans fail to realize that Vince McMahon does have thousands and thousands of investors that are helping to influence his decision making. He is in a difficult position of not being able to just act according to whatever his personal feelings want him to do.
With this tragedy forcing the WWE to abruptly end the Vince McMahon Death storyline, the WWE must now come up with new storylines. They also have to come up with a new direction for the ECW brand as well since Chris Benoit was expected to be a big part of that program. At arenas across the country, signs that make references to Chris Benoit will be confiscated.
Erasing history isn't going to be easy. |
