WWE officials had talks this weekend about opening tonight's RAW from Los Angeles with a graphic dedicating the show to Perro Aguayo Jr., who tragically passed away after an in-ring accident with Rey Mysterio at an indie wrestling event in Mexico on Friday night, according to Reddit user MetsFan4Ever, who has broke several WWE stories in the past year or so.

The report stated that there was strong talk between WWE producer Kevin Dunn, Triple Hand Vince McMahon. Apparently one of those three officials were in heavy favor of dedicating RAW to Perro but the other two were not. It was not specified which official was in favor of the dedication.

There was also reportedly discussion of bringing light to the situation because a former top WWE Superstar was involved in the accident. WWE officials are said to be sensitive to the idea of dedicating RAW to Perro because they feel it may bring wrongful negative attention to Mysterio.

RAW being dedicated to Perro Jr. should be taken as a rumor for now. It was noted that RAW will likely end up airing without the dedication but it has been a topic of discussion this weekend. It was also noted that if they do go through with the dedication, it would just be in the form of a graphic at the start of the show and all storylines would be kept as planned.

So, management is still unclear about how they will book the final RAW before Wrestlemania?
Typical company. If they want to open the show with a graphic or ring bell, they can do so.
I find it ridiculous that this company can't be firm with a booking decision that is so glaringly obvious.
Perro Jr never worked for WWE yet they'd dedicate an entire show to somebody the casual knows absolutely nothing about. FAIL.

An other week, maybe, but the go home RAW before Wrestlemania should be booked and set in stone.
This tells me they have no clue who they are anymore. It was tragic and should be noted as such, but WWE has their own business to attend to.

Paul E is still right a decade later.

WWE really has no business bringing it up, they normally wouldn't if RM Jr. was not there.
Management is honestly lost, things would be so much better if Triple H was boss.

Note that this came from MetsFan4Ever, so take this with a huge grain of salt.

Why? 99% of your audience has never heard of him, WWE. Talk about a waste. I could see like a RIP graphic as you cut to break or something, but anything more is goofy IMO. Not to sound insensitive, but it is out of place. Unless they are like "see, this is how badass WWE wrestlers are. Rey Mysterio, washed up midget from our company, KILLED a man from another shittier company. Goddamn WWE is badass!"

I'm betting it was Dunn who said it was a good idea, while vince and HHH could give a shit.

Typical WWE. Putting more emphasis on things that are completely inapplicable to them and trying to make themselves look better rather than focus more on making the go home show for WrestleMania deliver

All they need to do is stick a RIP graphic at the start of the show and then go ahead with the actual show. How do they not realise that this would be enough of a good gesture?

But this rumour smells like crap anyways, why they would abandon their storylines is beyond me, especially when the main event has had 0 build.

It's not like this rumor has been set in stone or anything, considering it came from MetsFan, so take it with a (huge) grain of salt.

But if they were to do something like this for real, then doing a RIP graphic at the beginning of the show would be more likely to happen than the entire show being dedicated to Del Perro.

Dedicating one of the most important Raw's of the year to a guy whom 99.9% of people watching have never even heard of or seen wrestle before? Yeah, that sounds judicious. I think putting a simple RIP remembrance at the beginning of the show and maybe having the commentators mention it a couple of times throughout the rest of the night would be respectful enough.

I'm betting it was Dunn who said it was a good idea, while vince and HHH could give a shit.

It said only one of the three officials was in favor of it while the other two weren't. :pity2: Provided there's any truth to this rumor at all, I'd bet anything that Triple H was the lone voice in that room as far as dedicating an entire show to him goes, while McMahon and Dunn seem like exactly the kind of guys who couldn't care less to go that far out for a guy who never contributed to their company in any way (and this is one of those rarities in which I'd agree with their viewpoint.)

Yeah, and it's a more probable option than dedicating the entire show to Del Perro.
