If a low carder/jobber died would they get a RAW tribute?

[Perfect Timing]

As in speeches throughout the show?

I think with the network they could easily do a tribute but it would be a bit weird if all they got was 10 bells and picture on RAW.

Depends how well liked and popular they were, I guess.

I sound dirty just typing that. But it’s true... if nobody had many stories to tell, I guess they’ll just get the picture and 10 bells 😕

I mean, when he was still in the company I can see a guy like Santino get that treatment. Not exactly high on the card, but with plenty of high light moments to show. Someone like, say, Gran Metalik..not so much.

It'd heavily depend on the circumstances.

If it's a tragic death that is immediately obviously not a murder-suicide again or something? Probably, especially if they were well liked.

Without knowing for sure who's well liked and who isn't backstage, I get the feeling Titus and Heath are two guys who'd get the ten bell salute and tributes.

This is morbid.

No.

They'll get an "in memoriam" graphic and maybe a bell salute, but that's it. At best.

[Perfect Timing]

It is morbid it is I just had a weird dream today and it involved Lacey Evans. I kind of thought right away what kind of highlight package could they do all she does is walk down the ramp.

Psssh....the Undertaker is a legend in our sport and he died like 80 times and never got a tribute.

I think they'd do a 10 bell, video package, and then they'd have matches and Cole would go "NEVERTHELESS, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE SUPERSTARS IN ACTION HERE, BECAUSE THATS WHAT ::jobber:: WOULD HAVE WANTED US TO DO"

[Deleted]

Really depends.

Otis or Tucker? Nah.
Slater? Absolutely.

If it was an NXT superstar like Kona Reeves or Steve Cutler, they may get the 10 bell salute on NXT but they wouldn't do a tribute show. Now if it was higher on the card like a Bianca Belair or Matt Riddle, I could definitely see a regular episode interspersed with tribute vignettes between segments. If it was like Gargano or Ciampa, the whole episode would be a tribute to them.

If it was someone from 205 Live. I can see a tribute show for them on that week's episode of 205 Live since they don't really book towards a PPV so they have an entire hour to honor them.

For Smackdown, depending on where on the card it can go several ways. Someone really low like The Club or Sanity will get the 10 bell salute. Someone who is above them or has been around a while like Primo or Sin Cara may get some tributes interspersed throughout the show. Anyone in the R-Truth or Bar level of midcard may actually get a tribute episode and anyone above that will get a tribute show plus a potential network special if they were a main-eventer like Orton or AJ.

As for RAW, if they're like super low like Dana Brooke or Ascension, they'll likely get the 10 bell salute. If it was someone above that or who has been around a while like Ryder or Kalisto, they may get a tribute package too. If it was someone beloved backstage like Slater or Goldust, they may get some tributes interspersed. Anyone on Balor's level or higher will get a full episode.

oh I thought you were going to say that they'd be doing the 10 bell salute, then at about 5 or so her music hits and she walks up and down the ramp like usual, then the bell resumes tolling again once she got back to her place on the stage with everyone else. no one so much as blinks at this.

If a jobber dies without being seen, are they really dead?
