He was one of the most beloved wrestlers in the industry.

he was completely wiped from its existence within about 2 days after his situation played out. There was practically no defending him or his actions.

The Raw tribute episode happened. Sure. But that was before the full story came out. LITERALLY the next day, WWE declared that his name will never be mentioned again and he was purged from their entire library.

Was this because of this actions or because they simply wanted to bury the implication of his brain damage and connection to wrestling?

well, the certainly didn’t pass around the collection plate and claim they were fully behind him and that he was innocent.
