As noted, John Cena is currently in Australia performing his “An Evening with John Cena” one-man shows, and during last night’s show Cena was asked by a fan why WWE does not acknowledge Chris Benoit’s history in the company following the June 2007 murder suicide. Cena offered the following response:

“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.”
