WWE could have at least paid homage to the fallen stars of RAW.

Mike Awesome
Big Bossman
Bam Bam Bigelow
Crush
Earthquake
Eddie Guerrero
Road Warrior Hawk
Curt Hennig
Crash Holly
Joey Marella
Gorilla Monsoon
Fabulous Moolah
Brian Pillman
Rick Rude
British Bulldog
Test
Umaga
Yokozuna
Jack Tunney
Randy Savage

Would have been great to have a video package to highlight the fallen stars of RAW. All of the previous guys I mentioned had somewhat important roles in some of RAW biggest and best moments. And I know it's other guys who could have been there but weren't for various reasons but it would have been a nice touch to pay homage to those who are no longer here.

Opinions/thoughts.

Agreed. This thought briefly entered my mind strangely after the Slater-Legends segment. It's always bizarre seeing Road Warrior Animal just by himself. A 5 minute photo-name slideshow would've sufficed easy. I'm not going completely speshit they forgot to pay tribute, but they had so much on their plate that they couldn't help but leave something out.

Personally, they could have did without Brodus and quit recapping events from the previous week, the constant Tout mentions or anything Charlie Sheen related. Hell, by doing away with Charlie Sheen, that would have gave them more than enough time to pay tribute to the fallen.

Now, I'm not totally pissed about it but who can say they wouldn't want to see a video, highlighting the fallen, lastly showing a clip of Macho Man or Eddie Guerrero.

The crowd would have started chanting for Benoit, cant have that..
Thats why they drown out certain chants like they do everything else that isn't in their favor.

If the fans in the arena chant it, thats 1 thing but if you close the video with Savage or Eddie, I doubt many would be too worried about chanting Benoit.

I think they're trying to not draw attention to the astronomical number of wrestlers who've died young over the years.

Still, it was kind of unfortunate to see that Owen wasn't mentioned alongside Eddie.
