17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE Raw (March 4)

It's one thing to infuse WWE's product with a bit of reality, but it's another to use a real death to further a storyline. Unfortunately, pro wrestling has a habit of that, and the latest example came when Triple H mentioned in passing how he'd been there for Ric Flair when he buried his son Reid.

This was 100% unnecessary.

Trips should've just gone with his line about Flair himself being hospitalised last year instead of using Reid's death to push his anger at Batista. The remark barely got a reaction from the crowd anyway.
