Talk:David Arquette in World Championship Wrestling

Copyedit comments
Overall, the article seems well written. I know almost nothing about professional wrestling, but I don't think it's too jargon heavy. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  06:34, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * "professional wrestling promotion World Championship Wrestling" I'm having trouble parsing this phrase. Is there some word or comma missing?
 * "It was also believed that the actor" better rephrase with who believed this
 * "with the storyline conceit" I would rephrase in simpler language if possible
 * "fellow wrestlers unhappy with the decision" I assume this refers to Arquette being scripted as the champion but this could be more clear
 * No need for constructions like "then-wife" as she was his wife at the time. I think it says this somewhere in MOS.
 * "former mixed martial artist Tank Abbott" The use of "former" is confusing; had Abbott retired from MMA before or after this defense?
 * "Additionally, it was believed" by whom?
 * Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reported that live ticket sales for the Slamboree event all but stopped after Arquette's involvement its buildup, leaving it "a substantial money loser as a live event" The source is paywalled but does it support that the event was a money loser because of Arquette's involvement, or just that it ended up being a money loser (and might have been without his involvement)? If the latter I would rewrite to avoid the potentially WP:OR implications something like "and it was ultimately".
 * Thanks for looking this one over. I made a few changes based on the above, which can be seen here. As t your first point I'm not sure how best to rephrase that—World Championship Wrestling was the name of the company, or promotion, so this would I guess be the equivalent of "the film studio Universal Pictures" or "the administrative body UEFA". Re Abbott, he had retired from MMA at this stage to work exclusively in pro wrestling, but later went back to it. I could drop "former" but wanted to denote that he wasn't plucked right out of the UFC for this show. I've amended the sentence about ticket sales et al, Meltzer makes it clear that the ticket sales stopping was because of the Arquette story but ultimately it's hard to say if the gate would have been profitable or if they would have just lost less money on the house without him. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 10:21, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * This usage of "promotion" seems to be wrestling jargon (?) so maybe it would be easier for the casual reader to understand if it were replaced by another word and/or the entire noun phrase were broken up somehow. Something like "World Championship Wrestling (WCW), a professional wrestling promotion" might be easier to parse. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  10:32, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it's common in combat sports (the UFC or Bellator are "promotions", likewise the WBO etc) but I've rephrased it as you suggest. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 11:26, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
