Talk:Johnny Angel (wrestler)

Let's merge the wrestler with the article on the "man who wrestled with his demons", Johnny Lee Clary. :-) --Uncle Ed 17:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure if this is appropriate. The Johnny Angel side of clary is totally sepearate and is part of the Wrestling hall of fame. I think that the information about clary on Johnny Lee Clary should be basically about his general bio, but things like this should be seperate. Most other wrestlers have a similar bio see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgt._Slaughter for example. It would be confusing to have kkk, christain, wwe stuff all on the one page, it would be hard to digest. Potters house 19:21, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * And exactly what kind of example are we looking at Sgt. Slaughter for? An example of a pro wrestler who does not have two separate biography articles, one for his wrestling persona and one for the rest of his life?  "Most other wrestlers have a similar bio" -- a) Untrue.  I doubt you've even checked to see whether any wrestlers have the second article that you imply.  b) any cases you do find should be merged. -- Antaeus Feldspar 14:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:McPhail there are lists like this that could be defiled by such mergers. Potters house 19:24, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * P.H., you're lucky neither article was deleted. I cut you some slack, because you were new here. But you got to start toeing the line.


 * I suggest you cooperate with the merge. And please also see a "casual suggestion" I left at your talk page. --Uncle Ed 14:59, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Retirement
Johnny retired after it was discovered that he was the head of the White knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He was rejected by most Pro Wrestling corporations because of this. He quit from being the Imperial Wizard of the KKK not long after his retirement from wrestling. Because of his demise in wrestling and the disallusionment with the Ku Klux Klan he considered suicide but fortunately had a spiritual experience through reading the bible and began attending a multiracial church. A year later he contacted Wade Watts, a black gospel preacher whom Johnny had once persecuted. Watts took Johnny under his wing and they ministed together in many churches for 10 years until Watts' death.

Christian Minister
Johnny Angel is now a Born Again Christian and has a world wide ministry where he speaks to thousands all over the world about Christianity and teaching against racism and hate groups. He has appeared on Oprah, Geraldo, Montel, Jerry Springer, Rikki Lake, Phil Donahue, Sally Jessy, and Pat Robertson's 700 Club.

Merge status
If Dina has merged enough of the wrestling career info into Johnny Lee Clary, isn't it time to consider reducing this article to a redirect?

If anyone wants to dredge up more wrestling stuff and add it to the bio, they can get it from history. No need to delete all that. If fact, deleting it would remove the GFDL-required history. --Uncle Ed 13:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
