They didnt even put a graphic, let alone a video package, for Lanny Poffo or Bushwhacker Butch. I think the last death they acknowledged was Tim White.

while not getting graphics, they have verbally acknowledged the deaths of Don West and Jay Briscoe recently. And Inoki got a tribute graphic.
But yeah, it seems bad form to me that Lanny and Butch are getting ignored like when Crash Holly died.

Poffo got the wwe website treatment. You’d think being Macho man’s brother would put him a little higher on the dead wrestler tier of memorium that wwe seems to have
I am surprised AEW didn’t say anything since they seem to hold themselves as the wrestling company that respects old school wrestling. You’d think, they used to be wcw they way they treat the old nwa and territory wrestlers

He died yesterday afternoon right? They should've put up a graphic but it really was short notice. If they don't do anything Friday, then I will be disappointed.

They mentioned Jay Briscoe’s passing and he didn’t even work there.

Oh that’s good I was talking about Poffo though in the original comment. You’d think Ross or Excalibur would say something |

They finally acknowledged Butch's death and put up a graphic on tonight's NXT. Wonder if we'll get a tribute video on Friday.

Someone suggested Butch's tribute on the opening didn't show because they messed up and aired the arena feed before they were supposed to, so all we got was a black screen for about 30 seconds.
