* On the 02/08/16 RAW, hearing Daniel Bryan's retirement speech. There was literally people in the crowd bawling when he announced his retirement. It in especially got sad when he brought up his father as well. It also was so hard to watch seeing as Daniel was even trying to hold back tears as best as he could. Watch the speech for yourself, it's quite sad.

** When you think about it, Randy being chosen as the "Face" of the company was very strange. Yes, Randy had the looks and the lineage -- but Randy is, no matter how you look at it, ''old''. Not "old" old like Ric Flair, but old in the sense that he's been in the company for a ''very'' long time. He has, more than once, consistently proven that he can't handle the responsibility, in spite of being one of the WWE's biggest stars, because he can't stay out of his own way, and the fans, no matter how much they love him, want someone ''new''. Plus, he isn't the ''only'' guy in the WWE that has the characteristics that the Authority wishes to have in their chosen champion. Randy being chosen was likely Hunter's attempt to repair their relationship, which has been strained for ''years'' thanks to Evolution's messy breakup, and Randy being ousted from a stable by Hunter ''once again'' means they're back at square one, and it will be a ''very'' long time before Randy will ever truly forgive him.

The drama continued as Elizabeth had not yet regained consciousness when the network cut to a commercial (and local stations took their bottom-of-the-hour ad breaks).

If the passed superstar was especially prominent, a current star may be asked to comment. Sometimes, the tearjerker moment sets in during the ten-bell salute.
