Wasn't it said that he recently lost over 100 lbs? He may have ended up losing that weight in an unhealthy manner.

Usually unless the wrestler had a huge impact, they won't do a tribute. Like Mae, Macho, etc. WWE has shown the tribute graphic to many mid-carders with less impact than Frazier. Remember, he won the KOTR in '95, worked a main event program with Diesel at Summerslam, and held the Tag belts. It's inexcusable that WWE wouldn't have that graphic ready for RAW.

When they do, it's usually tied to an undiagnosed condition, serious illness, or substance abuse. I certainly hope Mabel wasn't doing anything he shouldn't have, but I'm wary until I hear there were no drugs in his system.

they launched a network....had a RAW pre-show/after show for the first time, Hogan came back, Undertaker came back...Lesnar was on RAW.
Vince is probably running on fumes. They probably just didn't have time to do one.
But they normally do tributes for a wrestler that passes....and many not as recognizeable as Mabel

Very strange that they didn't even do they 'In memory of' image at the start of Raw.

I remember it was odd that Umaga didn't get one of those "In The Memory Of" stills at the beginning of any programs the week he passed. Hopefully Vis gets one on Smackdown.

No disrespect to this particular someone, but WWE did a tribute photo for a crew member a month ago if I remember correctly. Coming from WWE, that's just disrespectful to Visera and his family that he received no tribute on Raw whatsoever.

His wife just went off on the WWE & TMZ. Be warned, grammar Nazis.
Cassandra Frazier, wife of the late Nelson "Big Daddy V" Frazier, wrote a post on Facebook and says WWE has not offered their condolences. She says she's ready to tell-all about WWE and also called out TMZ for their report on Frazier's death. She says she never spoke with anyone from TMZ and they lied about interviewing her. Here's her post:
"WWE HAS NOT EVEN GAVE THEIR CONDOLENCES, NELSON DONT DESERVE WHAT THEIR SAYING ABOUT HIM ON GOOGLE, IM SICK OF IT AND IM READY TO TELL EVERY THING I KNOW ABOUT THAT LOOSER ASS COMPANY, IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN THEY R THE REASON MY HUSBAND IS GONE AND A LOT OF OTHERS, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT WRESTLERS ,JUST MAKING MONEY FROM THEM, I C WHERE THERE IS BEING A LOT OF crap SAID THATS NOT TRUE, PEOPLE R SAYING THEY HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWING ME AND SAYING I SAID THIS AND THAT ITS A LIE, I WILL DEFEND MY HUSBAND , NO MATTER WHAT, THERES A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT WWE THAT U FANS DONT KNOW AND NOT AWARE OF, WELL I KNOW AND IF U KNEW U WOULD NEVER WATCH IT AGAIN, THEY SUCK TIMES 1000, VERY EVIL AND COULD CARE LESS IF ONE OF THEM DIES, IM HIGHLY PISSED , ALSO LEAVE BOBBY HORNE ALONE, HE LOVED NELSON AND HAS DONE NOTHING BUT HELP ME, WHEN HE IS SICK HIS SELF ,HES NOT SCAMMING ANYONE ONE HE LOVED HIS BROTHER, IF U DONT HAVE NOTHING POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT HIM, DELETE YOUR SELF FROM MY PAGE BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM I COULNT HAVE DID THIS ALONE, SO MANY DIFFERENT STORIES R BEING TOLD , AND WITH OUT TALKING TO ME HOW WOULD ANYONE KNOW, TMZ SAID THEY DID AN INTERVIEW WITH ME AN THEY LIED , I DIDNT TALK TO ANYONE FROM TMZ AND THEY JUST MADE UP A STORY AND LIED, IM SICK OF PEOPLE LYING AND MAKING UP THEIR OWN STORIES,I LOVE U GUYS BUT DONT BELIEVE EVERY THING U HEAR, NELSON WAS A GOOD MAN AND BOBBY IS ALSO, I TRULY HAVE HAD VERY KIND PEOPLE THAT R GOOD AND NOT MAKING UP LIES, BUT FOR MORE INFO GO TO WWE FAN PAGE AND A COUPLE OF OTHERS, I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE, AND IM VERY ANGRY WITH PEOPLE MAKING UP STORIES ,LET MY HUSBAND REST IN PIECE, AND LEAVE BOBBY HORNE ALONE ,HE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT HELPFUL TO ME!

It's been said that Vis was a diabetic, which explains the rapid weight loss. Diabetics tend to lose weight without control. I know this first hand because it runs in the family. The weight loss, believe It or not, is actually a sign of poor health due to uncontrolled diabetes.

Tna last Thursday before the show paid tribute to him. I thought that was very classy.

There was one before Main Event tonight as well. And that post from his wife has just dropped my IQ by at least 20 points.

I know this is going to sound horrible, but his death was an inconvenience to Monday's Raw, and that's why we didn't see it until now. The Network was a big ing deal, huge deal. Hogan returning, big deal. So they weren't going to hamper that down with a death tribute when all eyes were on them. Just my opinion, but I think that's the exact mindset they had. From a business standpoint, I don't blame them. Everything is on the line with this network and if they wanted to hold off on honoring his death, with the full intention of doing it obviously, then it's fine by me. It was just bad timing really. Under normal circumstances I'm sure they would have shown it on Raw.

They were probably overwhelmed with the Network and the new pre-show and Hogan and such and just forgot. They did one on Smackdown though from what I've heard.

If the have a tribute graphic tomorrow on Smackdown, Vis's wife is going to look like a complete idiot; her grammar doesn't help her chances either.
