Chyna's Death and how WWE should respond

I'm writing this after learning that Chyna has passed away. Very sad, and a great loss to the wrestling world, especially dying at such a young age. Obviously WWE will pay tribute to Chyna before RAW and SM start next week. But is that all that they should do to honor her memory? Should they do more? I think so. How will they do that? Well, many fans including myself feel that she should have been in the HOF years ago. But "politics" and "personal feelings" between the 2 parties got in the way of that. Now Chyna is gone, so it would stand to reason that she would be inducted in the HOF soon (1-3years). BUT, I feel that isn't enough.
To REALLY honor Chyna. I feel that WWE should have another female intercontinental champion or their first female US champion.
I know this the PG era and there is no female/male "violence" But this is a great opportunity to do 2 things.
1) Honor Chyna's memory and 2) propel the female revolution to the next level.
Will WWE do this? Probably not. Should they do this? Absolutely!

Wrestlemania 32 Preview

Let's look at the WM32 card. Is it good? Is it WM worthy? I only ask those questions because just looking at the card and the build up to each individual match. I can't say that I'm really excited about 1 particular match. I like AJ vs. Y2J, which has good build up, but we've seen them wrestle before so what more can they do?
Undertaker vs. Shane; Solid build up and alot on the line, but it's just odd that the Undertaker would "side" with Vince, and this could be Takers last match....against Shane? Not the Rock or some other big name star..?
We'll see if HHH will be champ after tonight. People may not like Roman, but I think he'd be a better champ than HHH. People will be divided either way, no matter who wins.

The only match that I'm looking forward to the most and the match that could potentially be the match of the night. Would be the Divas three way for the title. It has the build and the workers to make it a great match.

NXT Takeover Dallas Quick Review

It's a great way to start Wrestlemania weekend with NXT Takeover. I won't go into great detail about Takeover. It was a solid card with great matches. The crowd was insane. I thought they would run out of energy by the time the main event came around. NOPE! If anything, the crowd had more energy at the end than the beginning!
I can't say anything bad about the overall PPV. There were a few botches here and there, and stopping the match to patch up Joe did suck and you can tell it changed the order of the match and the pacing. 
Overall NXT Takeover Dallas, I give it an "A"
