Maybe he'll finally get some recognition from the WWE.

Here's a taste...

I hope they do something for him on Monday's show. I know people liked Chris Benoit, and some die-hard wrestling fans were saddened by his death and feel like it wasn't his fault...but if they can give that murderer a huge tribute at the beginning of Raw, they can do something big for Randy.

Trust me, B they will. I know Vince and Randy always been on bad terms for years but WWE wouldn't disrespect Randy like that. Hes been a legend for the WWE, hes done so much for them back in the day. I got a feeling they will put him in the Hall of Fame next year.
