It's because if you do it somewhere like Wikia people will stumble on it. To keep it private you can just host it somewhere other people would never want to visit, like the front page.

Alexander Hamilton posted:Relatedly, why is every wrestling article written so horribly on Wikipedia? Is there one freak who makes them all sound like a robot struggling to explain the concept of wrestling to an alien race? We know the outcomes are predetermined, dipshit, you don't have to put that at the top of every single PPV article ever written. On that note what really surprises me is how drat long the write-ups are for wrestler’s careers right down to dates for shows where something minor happened. Big Show’s career write-up is so drat long and in depth there are college students that are envious. It just serves to remind me that wrestling nerds are on a whole ‘nother level.

Yes, there is in fact one person (or at best a very few of them) who pedantically go back and change every last article to sound like a robot. If you go to try and change one yourself, they will be along shortly to robotize it back.

Wait wrestling entries on Wikipedia don't list theme songs, finishers, or wrestler nicknames anymore. Why the hell would they get rid of information like that, especially finishers/signature moves? It's entirely valid information.

They claim its not sourced enough and is challenging to maintain (the signature moves section was, but bullshit that finishers were) and so like three people decided it must be removed. The argument is being made that that's what the pro wrestling wiki is for, and it is, but I don't see any of these people copy pasting that section over before removing it/replacing it with a frankly useless and badly written section in prose about someone's long and dramatic history surrounding the hammer lock DDT.

I did see a comment on Reddit that said the Wikipedia admins are actually pretty pissed that such a small group made such a sweeping, unilateral decision and that therefore there might be some sort of partial reversal but the part that's so dumb to me about it is, the logic "That's what the Wikia is for" is dumb and kinda circular logic. Forgetting the fact that Wikias are fraught with ads and have absolutely horrid mobile browsing integration, the central argument is "we don't need this because no one cares about wrestling, it's dumb". which is demonstrably false, and the group of people who care about wrestling is probably no more niche than the group who cares about, say, aeronautics or something. Near as I can tell the people who made this decision aren't even wrestling fans. Not everything needs to be super well-sourced unless it's a subject that's academic or scientific in nature. Let entertainment stuff have its own corner of Wikipedia. It's not hurting anything, you loving sperglords.

The very same. As a matter of fact, the guy who spearheaded this horseshit is even trying to get title histories purged because it's kayfabe and they're not actual accomplishments from what I hear. I went to the "talk" section about all this and the moron said there was "overwhelming support" in favor of deleting the move sections, etc. but I guarantee you that means "me and the other two life-free painthuffers who don't even like wrestling and get our entire life's worth out of having a position of authority on Wikipedia think it's a good idea" because literally no one else goes to the talk pages like, ever.

Does anyone remember the one guy who absolutely refused to allow Zack Ryder for some reason to have his own Wikipedia article? Like it went on for a year after Ryder split from Hawkins and everything that happened in Ryder's single career had to go on the page for their tag team because this one guy was able to use his pull on Wikipedia to prevent anyone for making a page for Zack. Why he decided to exercise his power that way is anyone's guess.

Lots of different styles in one match. Hot crowd. Twists and turns. Don't really need to know everyone's background for it to be good.

Are there any notable matches that were actually won with a stolen finisher? All the spots I can think of were just near-falls. e: I guess Yokozuna/Hogan might count, though I always viewed Yoko’s use of the legdrop as coincidental since he used one all the time anyway. e2: vvvvvv  oh yeah wow that shoulda been obvious haha
