c'mon wwe - take 3 minutes to show a package of those who have passed away. could have shown 8 promos instead of 9 for armageddon to have time for it. horrible decision.

The sad thing is it still wouldn't include Benoit. I'll probably take some flack for this, but I miss the guy. Also Raw usually sees dead wrestlers as more cannon fodder for jokes. I agree, they could have taken some time and skipped some of the joke segments. They did show Owen, but not enough to make it worthwhile.

3 Minutes would cover maybe the last 4 years. And people would bitch about who was left out.
It's nice to have a random happy night in wrestling where you're not reminded of how screwed up everything is.
I mean seriously, that would have been a downer. How far do you go. Crush? Crash Holly? We're talking like 50+ potential names.

I think they held off because of Benoit. If they didn't include him, they would have pissed off a decent portion of their fans. If they did, they would have pissed off everyone else. Not a real "win" scenario there.
Granted, not showing one wasn't great, but I can understand the difficulties of it.

The show wasn't bad and I don't think it neccessarily needed a tribute video, especially in light of many wrestlers they would have to mention.

I doubt the WWE would want to draw attention to how many wrestlers have died since 1993. Plus they would have to deal with the question of Benoit: Do they show him? Do they not? People would get mad either way.

Maybe Benoit would've gotten shown if he uhhh....WASN'T GETTING BAD PRESS BECAUSE OF A CERTAIN THINGY HE DID Seriously they don't want to give some people any more reason to be pissed at them |
