Former 16-time WWE World Champion John Cena, partook in a Q&A for fans in Australia & during the Q&A, Cena was asked why WWE doesn’t acknowledge Chris Benoit.
Here’s how Cena responded: (video will be down below Cena’s excerpt)
“Very difficult question and I’ll answer it like this. Often times, we get caught up in a person’s ability and their performance and this transcends WWE, this is a problem in sport. It is also a problem in entertainment. People will do bad things, but if they are good at what they do, sometimes those things are overlooked. I don’t in believe that; I believe you should take ownership for your actions, all of them, not just ones that are performed in front of an audience. I think our company’s stance on the entire situation set a precedent for athletics and a precedent for entertaining of taking ownership for your actions.”
