Former WWE and TNA Impact Wrestling star Matt Hardy Tweeted the following about Chris Benoit and the approach that WWE has taken with the situation over the past five years:

"I totally understand why WWE has adopted a non-Benoit policy, that's a business move to attempt to distance themselves from Chris's terrible final actions. My point is that I don't have to cater to & speak by "WWE history", as opposed to actual, factual history. WWE can treat the Benoit situation as if he never existed, but in reality, he absolutely did."
