WWE store pulls Benoit goods from shelves

From the Niagara Falls Review:

When Chris Benoit visited Niagara Falls with his wife five years ago, he couldn’t stop talking about the children.

“To be here talking to the kids - my biggest fans - is what it’s all about. There’s not a greater reward than putting a smile on a kid’s face,” Benoit told The Review in August 2002 in an interview on Clifton Hill…

After the weekend’s events, his merchandise was being removed this week from the shelves at the Niagara Falls WWE store.

“We had very little inventory (of Benoit’s), but what was there we are taking off the shelf,” said Gary MacGregor, director of marketing with Canadian Niagara Hotels, which operates the souvenir shop.

“We just feel that it’s not appropriate - especially at this point - for kids to see that. Parents don’t want to talk about this to their children and we don’t want to force anything upon anybody.”

    Where is the photo of WWE Niagara Falls? I was really looking forward to that!

    Also… if you could post some photos of the FreeFall Centre and any work at the Crown Plaza it would be greatly appreciated.

    Also an update on the Hilton expansion would be great too!

    Thanks,

    Scott.

    Sorry for the delay Scott. It wasn’t until I saw your comment that I remembered about the WWE photos I had taken. I just posted them.

    I also have a picture of the work on the FreeFall Centre, but you can’t see much yet. I’ll post that later today.

    There is nothing to report on the Crowne Plaza. No work is being done.

    I’ll take a picture of the Hilton soon.
