I watched some of those comments on wwe.com last night, and no one really praised Benoit on what a great person he was, unlike the Owen Hart tribute. The consensus was that Benoit was a tireless worker and was "tough to get to know" or something like that I believe Cena said.

Vince has to do it for damage control because the blood-sucking opportunists like Fox News (O'Reilly) are gonna eat it up. A simple business decision saying "sorry, but we didn't know the circumstances"
