Originally posted by Darth Vicious I wonder if it was such a great idea from the WWE to do atribute show now that the details are pretty much known.

I believe this hasnt been posted already. Sorry if it was posted already. This was a statement by Vince prior to last nights Smackdown tapings:
Vince McMahon made a statement on last night's Smackdown/ECW taping regarding the tribute show presented to Chris Benoit and the viewer reactions after the nature of the Benoit family tragedy has taken place:
"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."
