Talk:King of the Ring (1993)

Explode
Now this may be me being naive. But when it says "the camera exploded in his face" was it like "KABOOM" or did it just flash? If it just flashed, I'd change explode to flash. Explode seems to overexaggerate and bias things a bit. §hep  •   ¡Talk to me!  22:01, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It exploded, as in a burst of flames shot out of the camera. GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought, just wanted to be sure. The sources I checked didn't show what type of exploded.  Thanks for the clarification.  §hep   •   ¡Talk to me!  22:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Totally just your standard flash. No flames, no explosion.Gabenowicki (talk) 01:45, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Then the DYK hook has to be changed, as we don't need false info.  §hep   •   ¡Talk to me!  03:13, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it should not. The camera exploded. Please check the sources. One says it shot a ball of flames into Hogan's face, and the other says that the camera "explodes". I also watched the event as I wrote the article, so I am confident that it is accurate. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm certainly not one to advocate copyright infringement, but if one wanted to verify this information by watching the match on a popular video hosting site, a search for "KOR '93 Hulk Hogan vs Yokozuna part 2 of 2" might prove useful (particularly around the 6:05 mark and the replay at 8:05). GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:09, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Here's my story. I saw the hook on the main page and thought, "damn I gotta see this exploding camera!"  Imagine my disappointment when I looked it up on that hosting site and saw (confirmed) that it was a common flash.  The 'flames' you're seeing is what happens when a flash gets taped.  But I don't give a shit about wrestling and it's off the main page already so have it your way.  I won't be back so it doesn't matter.  A flash is a flash.  I will assume good faith rather than suggesting you pull your head out of your ass.97.86.255.52 (talk) 12:23, 11 October 2008 (UTC)this was me btwGabenowicki (talk) 12:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Deprecated source
The deprecated source (that is, a source that is generally prohibited and where the WP:BURDEN is very strong indeed) would only be usable, in the words of the RFC (which was claimed in the edit adding it back):

I also note that many have noted that any uncontroversial information which can be sourced to the Sun (sports score-lines et al) can almost-always be sourced to another source of repute.

The cited piece is not "sports score-lines et al"- it's an opinion piece written by a pseudonym of unknown expertise, and seems to fail all excuses to use a deprecated source (permissible SPS, ABOUTSELF, etc).

As such, I think claiming this is a usable source really needs to go to RSN. 'Cos if that's the only source, the claim is not sourced to an RS, and I'm challenging it on that basis - David Gerard (talk) 07:33, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
