In the new special edition WWE magazine titled "The Untold History of The WWE," Vince McMahon comments on every era of WWE. When asked about Chris Benoit and whether there will ever be a time when WWE can acknowledge his part in WWE history, McMahon said the following.
"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."
