Every wrestler biography on Wikipedia needs to be rewritten. They're absolute garbage overrun by shut-ins who obsess over every excruciating detail regarding every single thing said wrestler did ever (you too can probably find out what Kurt Angle had for lunch the day he won his first title in WWE), and peppered with mark board rumors that have been snuck in and never corrected.

So, what important knowledge did you lose writing all this out?
(It's a Paul Reiser bit: you put a phone number on speed-dial and the next thing you hear or see replaces it. You talk to someone: "Oh, by the way, in high school, Vanna White played the lead in Brigadoon. What the...? How do I know that? That must have been my sister's home number, dammit!")

When I saw the thread title, I honestly thought you were on the losing end of a bet. This was my exact thought.

Wikipedia has more backstage politics and groups like the Kliq than wrestling at this point.

Did you write out the part where Val Venis walked up next to Big Show at a urinal, looked at Big Show's cock, and said "They call you The Big Show?"
What I'm asking is did you have to write The Big Show's cock out by hand?

Do they still do the thing where every wrestling article has to describe exactly what pro wrestling is in the first paragraph?

The thing is, half of the state of it is enforced by a few of the "good article" reviewers, who think that readers need reminding every 8 seconds that wrestling is predetermined. At one point the actual people writing PPV articles had to actually write out stuff like "Kane then lifted Carlito by the neck and slammed him onto the ring mat, allowing him to win the match", rather than "Kane then won after a chokeslam" because according to these few people "noone knows what a chokeslam, a powerbomb or any of these moves are", even though they're linked to the article describing the damn moves.

why didnt you just print it? ...my god. Edit: Serious answer, the guy is stuck in his ways and likes to type it up from large handwriting. Technically I'm supposed to print it first then copy it out by hand from that for him to type up (which he will then print out). Kafkaesque. This now makes even less sense to me

How long before you turn heel and start making stuff up?
