For anyone confused, this is Chris Benoit's son from his first marriage.

Well its nice to see that WWE has not condemned the whole Benoit family. I highly doubt that while Vince is still alive that this kid ever gets in a WWE ring for a televised match though

Why? I could definitely see it. Look how long Vickie has been around, pretty much simply because she had a tie to Eddie Guerrero. I could see Vince giving this kid a shot because he want to help the family on some level. Now, I doubt he would be using his real name or that his father's name would be used in connection with him, but as far as working for WWE I doubt that would be a problem, especially if he's good in the ring.

^I don't necessarily disagree with you, but in fairness Eddie didn't kill his family and himself.

I wish the best of luck to him.

He looks so much like Chris.

There is a huge difference between Vickie being around after eddies death and Chris Benoit's son being around
Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE Benoit mark and I am one of the few that does not let his actions in the last couple days of his life overshadow his career. But, because of the circumstances surrounding his death WWE has distanced themselves as far away as possible from anything Benoit related and I am almost sure that will include his son as well.
Regardless on if they give him a different name, persona or even dress him up in a bull costume and make him gore people the fans will eventually know that he is a benoit. Vince being the person he is (never letting anything change his thoughts or feelings) I don't think he would ever take that chance or overlook the kids last name

Wonder what name he'll be given........looks at Curtis Axel who was previously Micheal McGillicutty.

If he is half as good of a wrestler as his father then I would be happy to see him in WWE.

He looks so much like Chris.

Sooooooooo much! It's eerie.
