Wikipedia's WWE articles suck

[Marvelously Mediocre]

look at this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_to_Dismember_2006

December to Dismember (2006) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which took place on December 3, 2006 at the James Brown Arena in Augusta, Georgia. Professional wrestling is a type of sports entertainment in which theatrical events are combined with a competitive sport. The buildup to the matches and the scenarios that took place before, during, and after the event, were planned by WWE's script writers. The event starred wrestlers from the ECW brand: storyline expansions of the promotion where employees are assigned to wrestling brands under the WWE banner. Despite it being a ECW brand pay-per-view, wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown! brands also worked on the pay-per-view.[2] Its name was derived from the December to Dismember event held by the original Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1995.

The main attraction on the event card was an Extreme Elimination Chamber match for the ECW World Championship. It featured wrestlers fighting in a ring surrounded by a steel structure of chain and girders. The six participants were defending champion The Big Show (Paul Wight, Jr.), Bobby Lashley (Franklin Lashley), Rob Van Dam (Robert Szatkowski), Hardcore Holly (Bob Howard), CM Punk (Phil Brooks) and Test (Andrew Martin). Lashley won the match and the ECW World Championship after pinning Big Show following a spear.[3] The featured bout on the undercard was a tag team bout between The Hardys (real-life brothers Matt and Jeff) and MNM (Joey Mercury [Adam Birch] and Johnny Nitro [John Hennigan]), in which The Hardys were victorious.[4]

Yeah, Wikipedia has changed their wrestling articles for anyone who doesn't follow wrestling to follow, which is stupid because if they don't follow, then why are they going to the wrestling articles?

[WWE Trademarked My Name]

I don't even think movie articles on Wikipedia are that uselessly indepth.

they don't market it to wrestling fans, they don't market it to non wrestling fans, they market it to themselves. Ring of Honor held a pay-per-view this past November and titled it Rising Above 2008. editors on Wikipedia titled the article Rising Above (2009) stating it doesn't matter what ROH calls, what matters is what their wikiproject calls it, and since it was aired in 2009 it is to be called 2009

Well you can't blame Wikipedia all the time. Sometimes the main source is wrong too. According to wwe.com Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka was a former ECW Champion, lol.

Check out the history of the ECW Championship, from Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka all the way up to Jack Swagger.

Jimmy Snuka is a former ECW Champion. he won the title back when they were still NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling. Shane Douglas won the ECW Championship in March 1994, and WWE lists him as having become champion on August 27, 1994, which is the day he threw the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on the ground and NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling became Extreme Championship Wrestling

[dffan86]

Yeah I know but I guess the WWE doesn't count any Eastern Championship Wrestling champions. Only Extreme ones, lol

Yep, that's exactly how Wiki works. 95% of the time their thought process just...is absolutely ridiculous. I've given up trying to edit articles beyond very minor changes because it'll just get changed back in 5 seconds because I'm "wrong".
