Anniversary of his death, in the city he died in, and the building his tribute shows took place.

Bet the merch table had tribute shirts for sale.

Vickie probably sold more of her shirts than in most places.

Incidentally, Penta's suplexes are weird, he kind of rolls backwards rather than lifts up and over, is that a lucha technique or just him?

It is a lucha thing, yeah - Lucha in general relies more on rolling than bumping; you don't often see luchadores taking flat back bumps, they'd rather roll in and out of moves. It's because Lucha Libre rings tend to be constructed more like a boxing ring, so it's just not something you want to bump on over and over again. You don't really see that kind of suplex often in old fashioned lucha as a result (in fact, if you're calling a match in Mexico, "suplex" means what anyone else would call an arm drag, for some reason), and they just look a bit naff.

From now on I'm going to assume that whoever put together the classic Silver Vision reel was a lucha mark, hence why they put a clip of Marty Janetty doing an armdrag when the voiceover said "side suplexes".

I'm guessing it was a choice between that or Dino Bravo footage.
