About speedy deletion[edit]

I see this page was listed for speedy deletion. But a lot of a articles links to it, and it was listed on Wikipedia:Most wanted articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anthony Ivanoff (talk • contribs) 16:49, 13 December 2005.

Which is how I arrived here. Well, I'll write the article offline and load it after its fairly well along. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:48, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Moved discussion[edit]

His amateur championships and accomplishments wouldn't be bad. You can look at Kurt Angle's for an example. Also the text mentions that he used a shoulderbreaker as his finishing move; that could be added to a Finishing and signature moves -section. The style is shown in the pending tasks box on the top of this page. ↪Lakes 11:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would add that, but he took State his senior year in high school, then although he had a decent record in college, his only title win was the NAAU light-heavyweight. I'm thinking a list of one (or two if I add the high school win) is a little short to put in a bulleted list. OTOH, I did that in the finishing move, to match style for other wrestlers, per your suggestion (thanks!). KillerChihuahua^?!? 12:13, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
