    Thanks for sharing that.

    Much different circumstances in death but rather bizarre, two Hernando High linemen who made it to the big time and gone too early, 31 years apart: Rotunda and Jerome Brown.

    Glad they were able to have both Braun and Erick Rowan present.

    Hearing the arena sing "He's got the whole world..." crushed me.

    The tribute videos were beautiful, and I'm looking forward to hearing Cody speak on Funk tonight.

    Oh, damn. A main event of LA vs. Finn?

    An episode dedicated to Windham Rotunda, and a commercial for Wyndham hotels.

    Better synergy than a Domino's ad airing while a pizza cutter is being used on someone's forehead.

    Marginally interesting they flew in Cody but not Roman. Seth posted he almost went but felt he needed to be with his daughter, as Bray told him when Brodie passed.

    Read somewhere Roman gave the blue title to Jojo and retired that belt in Brays honor. No idea if true but would be very cool thing to do

    Another great story from the high school days. Not too different than Cody Rhodes and Xavier Woods being high school rivals.

    They happen in threes. Funk, Wyatt and perhaps one of the greatest of all the Raw guest hosts.

    Any day I had off from school as a kid, or during the summer, it was all about TPIR.

    I just posted that on the RIP thread. One of the funniest segments in Raw history.

    Brian Gewirtz, the longtime WWE writer and now one of Dwayne Johnson's right-hand men, said in his book that Bob was a blast to work with.

    Love Jericho wearing the name tag on his bare chest.

    Random as hell, but I suppose that's what you get for a bought house show.
