 * "Trump became the eleventh.." was it Trump's first ever world title?
 * Added a bit about that - it is pretty notable. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:57, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

That's sufficient for a first pass I think. Let me know if anything's unclear, otherwise I'll see you soon! The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 10:36, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Happy with the changes and the quality of the article now easily meets/exceeds the GA criteria, so I'm passing this article. Good work. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 07:33, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
