Images
Are they really nessiscary, they look terrible why are they on the page at all? The Jay   Experience  03:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Per FL criteria probably. All articles on wikipedia are supposed to be illustrated by images even if it isn't because of the criteria.-- Will C  07:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

How is it that we choose which images appear on the page, cuz frankly, I have no idea. I was thinking "maybe its champions"... but then again, I dont think Lillian Garcia is a champion. :/ So seriously, how?  Alex  T / C   Guest Book   07:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Looks to me like the top-tier champions (WWE and IC for Raw, WHC and US for SD and the ECW Championship for ECW) and female champions together with some random non-wrestling talent. Yeah, the image placements look like crap. --Kaizer13 (talk) 10:18, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I fixed (and hopefully established) the criteria for pictures--

Champions and GMs only for the main 3 brands.

Everything below the main 3 brands is fine as it is, but for the main 3 brands, stick to my outline.

Thanks.

Roucka
Should Roucka be moved to the RAW brand since she was an audience member cheering for Beth Phoenix which may hint a possible addition to the RAW divas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.53.133.155 (talk) 07:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

She hasn't made an in-ring debut and she hasn't done anything notable on television yet, and i don't believe she's actually been introduced at all so just leave her in the FCW section for now. The Jay Experience 06:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Gail Kim
Should we put Gail under the Unassigned talent because Mike Johnson of PWInsider has confirmed that Gail Kim is heading to SmackDown and all wrestling sites, even the ones dedicated towards the divas is clamming this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.53.133.155 (talk) 20:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I would think so....but more feedback should be given before a decision is made.  SteelersFan- 9  4  21:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * No. It is a complete rumor that has been going on since July. Kim nor the WWE have acknowledged her signing. Until she debuts or promos air for her return does she get place in the article. PWInsider is a non-reliable source as well. Even if a reliable source is brung it is still WP:SPECULATION.-- Will C  22:41, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Gail Kim has been on the road with WWE for the past few weeks, doing autograph signings, etc. so i think it would be safe to say she's signed a contract by now. The Jay Experience 01:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Not a reliable source. Plus it must source she has a contract and can't say is rumored to have signed a contract for future reference.-- Will C  06:53, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Ok then. The Jay Experience 03:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

As noted in the Tomko section below this, WWE rarely announces they have signed anyone anymore and instead they try and keep it as a "surprise". Not that it matters because she'll be re-debuting soon enough but Gail's been signed to a contract for months now and has been brought on the road with them at TV tapings the past two weeks. She should be included but as I just wrote, it won't matter because she'll be back on TV and added back anyway. Hot Stuff International (talk) 21:18, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * She can be added when she debuts, not until then.-- Will C  21:18, 29 November 2008 (UTC)


 * We need a good source that she's SET TO COME not RUMERED, I use bold caps not to holler, but to make sure people see it. And Will We've added wrestler's to the page before you joined Wikipedia, Kofi Kingston, Big Show etc I know there's more from back in the back in the good ole' day's.  SteelersFan- 9  4  21:26, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

I'd say Mike Johnson at PWInsider.Com is a reliable source as he reported she signed with them back in July and was doing a photo shoot and was filmed to be included in show openings. I doubt he'd report that if it weren't true as PWI isn't a dirt sheet that has plugs like "Hogan joins TNA, Read HERE!!!!" But when she does return, she can be added so it can end for now. Hot Stuff International (talk) 00:01, 30 November 2008 (UTC)


 * See I'm trying to follow rules. No rumors without a verifiable reliable source, but the problem there is, all sources say she is rumored to have signed, she is rumored to be debuting and that does not work. Also PWInsider is not a reliable source.-- Will C  01:02, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Calm down Will.. no need for hostility. I simply stated my opinion. I'm not losing sleep over it either way because as previously written once she makes her debut, and there's no doubt that she will, the matter will be resolved. Hot Stuff International (talk) 13:30, 30 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm clam, it takes more than unsourced info to upset me. Unless you live in my town and are named Matthew or Jacob I'm fine with you. It is better to wait till they are seen on tv. Crap Wrestling Observer even stated that Kevin Nash had signed with TNA and he stated that he had not when in reality he did. It is better to wait till it actually happens. Sometimes sources are wrong and sometimes they are right.-- Will C  06:18, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

 * If you actually click that link, you see the actual source is the Wrestling Observer Newsletter by Meltzer. If that's not a reliable source, what is? I know we've had these arguments hundreds of times before, but Meltzer has connections within the business and WWE rarely, if ever, announces the re-signing of former talents or big names on their site. They attempt to keep them "secret" until debuts. Also, we generally treat these sites as reliable information when it comes to developmental signings. So it's really a double-edged sword. Frankly, I don't think this argument will ever really be solved. Dahumorist (talk) 17:07, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Champs and GMs are fine.

Raw has Cena, Regal, Phoenix (Champions) and Stephanie (GM--or what passes for it).

SD has Edge, Benjamin, McCool (Champions) and Vickie G. (GM)

ECW has Hardy (Champion) and Teddy Long (GM)

FCW, Corporate, Agents, and Other Personnel are fine as they are.

The 3 big brands though shouldn't be changed until there are new champs or a new GM.

Tables for WWE matches not articles?
While I agree that the tables make the article easier to read, is there anyway that the information can Make MORE Sense?

Just put the "Ring Name" up for each wrestler, any current titles tehy may hold and the show they are primarily competing on. If they are inactive due to injury or suspension, that can be added as well. That's all you need.

We don't need their real name listed in the employee article, don't need their real/billed heights/weights or any other BS. on the table. Isn't that what each article for each specific wrestler is for to have that extraneous info? Just give us the basics. Qazox (talk) 07:17, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Just turn back to how it was earlier Kalajan (talk) 14:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Tag Teams and Stables
It was announced on ECW this week that Finlay & Hornswoggle will face Mark Henry & Tony Atlas so i think they can be classed as a tag team, i'm not sure about Chavo & Neely, neither of them have wrestled much lately. The Jay Experience 03:35, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Atlas will have to become more of an active wrestler for them to count as a team. However, we can now put the occasional wrestler tag on "Mr. USA" now. (That was Atlas' old nickname before anyone asks.)

Chavo wrestled Matt Hardy during last week's double-shot Smackdown tapings, so he's still active, I don't know if Bam joined him or not though, if not, then de-activate him because it has been more than 30 days since we saw him. (Don't remember seeing him at all in November).

Also, Orton/Rhodes/Manu can now be considered a stable as RKO made them the offer to join him on Raw, and the beatdown on Cena clinched the fact that they're now a team.

And Cole used the Priceless name numerous times on the air last night, so I think it's fair now that we can use it here. (If WWE uses it, then it's fine to use it here--we just can't take it upon ourselves to give them a name if WWE doesn't.)

Vjmlhds 05:43, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

And what about the tag team of Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix?

Cole used the Glamarella name when they where at ringside,I mean they have been called a team by wwe for the past 4 months now.

Glamarella should be a stable not a tag team because they have not teamed together in a match in quite a while.YoMamma6188 (talk) 17:42, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * How is that logical? The definition of a stable is that it needs more than three members. With only two, it's a tag team. --Kaizer13 (talk) 18:33, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Let's not start this again.

Santino/Beth are not a team, they are a wrestler and a valet (one accompanies the other, but other than Summerslam, they don't team up in the ring). If we list "Glamarella" as a team then we have to do the same for the Burchills, Regal/Layla, Edge/Vickie, DJ Gabriel/Alicia Fox, and any other male/female pairing.

A tag team is a pair of wrestlers who regularly team up together and could compete for the tag team titles.

There are only 2 exceptions that should be considered:

1. If a male/female team were to become tag team champions or have a ppv match for the belts.

2. The Bella Twins due to the twin thing being their whole reason being there.

Other than that, let's use some common sense.

Vjmlhds 22:33, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I NEVER said add all the male/female pairs stupid,I said Glamarella SHOULD be because WWE CALLS them that AND they are talked about on WWE.com as Glamarella,now I will just add them myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oreius (talk • contribs) 07:40, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

First, insults will not be tolerated, one more and I'll recommend you be blocked.

Second, the reason we don't include Glammarella is because if we do that, then somebody else will put in the Burchills, then somebody else will put in Edge and Vickie and so on, and it will lead to an edit war, and the page will be locked again.

What I'm doing is putting out a fire before it starts.

Vjmlhds 17:45, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

No,you are trying to make the site be your way,you think everything has to be done only YOUR way.Glamarella IS a stable because they are called that,the Burchill's aren't because they haven't been seen together,Edge and Vickie are because vickie doesn't wrestle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oreius (talk • contribs) 18:15, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * If you object to the way the article is managed, then please reasonably list your arguments. There's no need to assume bad faith and to result to insults.  Hazardous   Matt   18:57, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Oreius--

I'm not trying to make anything MY way. I'm just following wiki rules that had been set a long time ago.

The "Glammarella" name is a play on all these cutesy-fartsy names that Hollywood actors get slapped on them by the tabloids when they hook up (i.e. "Brangelina", "Bennifer" etc.).

That doesn't make them a tag team.

It was established awhile back on wiki (go through the archives) that male/female pairings don't equal tag teams.

The only exception would be if a male/female team were to either hold or wrestle for the tag team belts on PPV because those situations automatically classify you as a team because you would then be either the champions, or the #1 contenders.

And obviously the Bella Twins are a team because of the twin thing being their whole M.O.

Other than that, male/female or female teams are not considered as a team because otherwise it would be opening Pandora's box for others who would get added in.

That is the best way I can explain the situation, so please just drop it.

Didn't you see Raw this week?

Orton talked to Rhodes and Manu backstage, talked about realizing their collective potential together, and told them to meet in the locker room if they were interested.

At the end of the show, all 3 came out en masse to help Jericho beat down Cena, and WWE.com played it up as the 3 of them coming together as a unit.

Rhodes and Manu have been running buddies for months, and on Monday they finally joined up with Orton after weeks of teasing.

 * WP:OWN -- Please read this. You don't get to make unilateral decisions just because it suits what you want.  Hazardous   Matt   01:36, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Randy and Cody teamed up at Survivor Series (with Manu at ringside), Cody and Manu have been palling around and teaming since September, and they all came together on Monday for the Cena beatdown.

Thus they are now a stable (as Cody and Manu obviously took RKO up on his offer to join forces).

Orton, yes, because he was the one who made the offer to Rhodes and Manu to join forces, and those 3 had been teasing getting together for awhile.

Jericho, no, because he was just using them to get to Cena, not to be a full time crew with them.

The whole motif of the group is 2nd/3rd generation guys, and Jericho is doing his own thing.

The link above does not work anymore. I also watched the footage with Orton saying the stuff written above...

Well there obvously feuding with Primo and Carlito, hense the singles matches, they defeated them. As a tag team they defeated them here http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/11212008/ in a non title match and Jr hinted in his blog about them being tag champs http://fans.wwe.com/jimross/blog/page/2 But back to my point they are a tag team.Adster95 (talk) 10:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

They're a tag team, and Marella and the Glamazon are too, check out the raw quick cut (22-12-2008), Santino says Glamarella, and then they tag.  Kala  jan   21:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * They're not a tag team. They just happened to tag. Check out JTG's profile on WWE.com, it mentions his tag team, Cryme Time. Check out Ted Dibiase's profile, it mentions his tag team partner Cody Rhodes. Check out Marella's, it only mentions his "relationship" with Beth Phoenix, not a tag team. And Phoenix's profile doesn't even mention Santino.  Hazardous   Matt   21:37, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry who are not a tag team Kendrick and Jackson are a tag team! I dunno how we were talking about Glamarella again. On Jacksons profile it mentions Kendrick. Adster95 (talk) 11:02, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Look at the quick cut, and you'll see how, at the beggining Santino is going to say something about Santy Claus and John Cena confronts him saying that there are some things you don't say. Santino tells him that he wants him to confront Glammarella in an intergendal match - watch it and see how he says Glammarella.  Kala  jan   18:12, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Tag teams and stables
Adding the tag teams and stables is really pointless. It's a list of employees therefore tag teams and stables, just shouldn't be included. It's to trivial, and Wikipedia is not a trivia website. It's causing a lot of edit warring, and it's not worth it. If nobody comes up with a real reason to keep it (not "I like it, I want it!") I'll leave it, but otherwise I plan on removing them.  aye matthew  @ 13:51, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

In wrestling you've always had your men's, women's and tag team divisions.

Since you have tag team titles, I think it's fair to list those who are currently in contention for said titles.

If there were no tag team championships, then I'd agree with you that there'd be no point for the section.

A lot of the problems comes from pairings like Punk/Kofi for example, when they're tag champs, they obviously get included, but then they lose the belts, go their separate ways, and there's a difference of opinion as to whether to keep them.

And of course the Glammarella nonsense doesn't help.

But I think as long as you have tag titles, you have a tag division, thus the section does have some merit.

Vjmlhds 14:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * This is not a championship list. It's a list of employees not divisions. It's an employee article, not a list of champions. That is not a valid reason of keeping them, IMO.  aye matthew  @ 14:15, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Tag teams and stables are as big of a part of pro wrestling as steel chairs.

I think you're going down a slippery slope here Matt (with all due respect), you take out the tag teams, somebody else will say "Well if that's not relevant then why is this (insert section) in here?"

Some things are best left well enough alone.

Besides, if there's no edit war about tag teams, there will be one over something else.

Just the nature of the beast.

Vjmlhds 14:24, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Honestly, are steel chairs employees, please tell me because I'd love to know their salary. Nothing else on this article is broken, tag teams and stables are. Do they hire an employee named "John Morrison and The Miz"? No, then they shouldn't be in the employee article.  aye matthew  @ 14:34, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I think Matthew has a valid point. I don't see why that information can't be forked to List of World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Teams and Stables and have to stay in an article that, by name, shouldn't really have that information.  Hazardous   Matt   14:31, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Exactly, and I could also see that article being formed.  aye matthew  @ 14:34, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * With good reason, as it could include a list of former tag teams and stables as well. My word, the possibilities! :)  Hazardous   Matt   14:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

As long as there's something for teams and stables, then that's fine by me.

Just remember though, if you take out teams and stables here, ya gotta do the same for TNA to be consistent.

Why Charles Robinson? Why Sgt. Slaughter? Why Freddie Prinze, Jr.? Why Steve Austin? Why are pictures of them in the article? Why not another referee/producer/writer/agent? What criteria was done to choose who gets their picture in the article?  Raagio  T / C   Guest Book   00:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * They are just random selections, there is no specific criteria for them, in addition, they probably have the best quality images.--Truco 00:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Since I'm the one who put those pictures there, I'll explain my rationale:

Charles Robinson--he's the only referee with a picture.

Freddie Prinze--he's the highest profile of that group due to his Hollywood fame.

Sgt Slaughter--due to his occasional appearances on Raw.

Stone Cold--due to being the highest profile personality on that list.

Hope that clears things up.

Vjmlhds 06:03, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, actually, what constitutes of being "highest profile" and what does that even have to do with the list. Obviously, Freddie Prinze is more famous, but as a writer, he is the rookie. Obviously, I think Michael Hayes, Dusty Rhodes or Pat Patterson should have one of their photos as they are more famous in wrestling. I understand the Charles Robinson debate as obviously he is the only image on Wikipedia for referees, but if a Mickie Henson or Mike Chioda pic turns up, I think one of them should be. As for Steve Austin, if occasional appearances should warrant the spot on the page, then it is quite obvious Mae Young, Howard Finkel, Josh Mathews, Roddy Piper and Joey Styles all deserve the spot more than Austin.


 * Did you seriously suggest Mae Young or Howard Finkel seriously as more popular than Steve Austin? I guess starring in Hollywood films and being the main figure for professional wrestling throughout a decade isn't enough.. — M o e   ε  05:12, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Apparently you either didn't accurately read what I wrote or you just wanted to act as if you own the entire article.. again. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.Com wrote if anyone was wondering where Neely has been since being absent from TV, he was sent back down to FCW. However that's not to say he won't be back on TV for whatever so if anyone sees his name in more than a handful of FCW show results, he might as well be added to their roster. You just need to relax and remain civil. Hot Stuff International (talk) 02:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Legacy did not win the tag team championship twice, Priceless did. The two are two different teams like the Corporate Ministry. Adding the Priceless information to Legacy is original research since they are two different teams.

Edit warring again
While checking the unblock request for, I checked the history of this article and found that there is still a massive amount of edit warring going on. Since there is such a dispute about who is or who is not an employee of WWE, and since the same edits are being done and then being undone, I've protected this page for a week. And if I've protected The Wrong Version, that's too bad. I don't follow professional wrestling or the rumor mill for it, so I have no opinions on what the correct version is.

Work out your differences here at the talk page, not in edit wars. Also remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a fan site, so everything said here needs to be reliably sourced. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 02:48, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Since all of these guys are "unassigned talent" types, let's come to a conclusion on this...

Unless these guys make an appearance in FCW (or on one of the big 3 brands if they skip over FCW), do not include them on the roster, period.

These guys are not worth having the article shut down.

 * Yea, that, or we can use the approved sources according to WP:PW, which I did for 4 of the people in question already. Frankly, I'm just wondering why this is still considered a dispute.

 * Bottom line is, whether you agree or not, we users of Wikipedia have to abide by Wikipedia's WP:MOS, and the MOS states that we must cite information using reliable sources. In this case, WrestleView is not reliable because it is only reliable for Television and Pay-Per-View results. Other website, even PW Torch and WON, are not reliable because of the same reasons. Myspace's are not reliable either, unless it can be confirmed that the myspace is actually the superstars, like a photo promoting their URL.

Protection: Utterly ridiculous
"Oh my God, so much edit warring! Quick, the article will die, lets protect it!"

This "protection" is a big load-a-crap. This is Wikipedia. We collaborate with information and try to reach consensus. The failure to reach consensus for some is not an excuse for limiting the ability of the diligent users to edit and improve this article. Which ever admin who "protected" the article, with all due respect, you don't own it. Seriously though, with all due respect, because I have no idea who you are, and why you did this, but it was of absoulutely no consensus. I imagine you were satisfying some user's request, but this is outrageous. People have to come to the talk page and write down the differences THEY should be making and adding to THEIR contributions, for THEY made them. And for what? So a selected few (the admins) get to make those contributions [which didn't belong to them, I might add].

Oh, and if you, the admin, say you're protecting the page due to policy, you are wrong. Because, due to WP:PROTECTION, Isolated incidents of edit warring, and persistent edit warring by particular users, may be better addressed by blocking, so as not to prevent normal editing of the page by others. And this is exactly what I'm talking about. I suggest the article be "de-protected", because the proper channels weren't done. Also, just because someone is an admin, it doesn't mean you can create the consensus of protecting a page all by yourself. First review the cause and partake in the proper analysis of the situation which in this case would've been blocking, semi-protecting or just a simple warning.  Raagio  T / C   Guest Book  00:00, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The admin was User:Elkman. He actually had a reason to protect it Alex because it was fully protected once for edit warring, and then after it expired, the warring began all over again. As a result, the repeated edit warring led to another protection, which expires in a few days, I believe. If the edit warring continues, WP:PROBATION needs to be sought for those warring users.-- Tru co  00:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Kalajan, you, Dahumorist and SK. A handful of people, and I might be mistaken, but I am not aware if anyone else was involved. These four users could have been warned and even blocked, oh, and Dahumorist and SK were the ones really "firing up the war". So, basically with warnings for Truco and Kalajan and potential blocks for Dahumorist and SK, I believe the "protection" could've (SHOULD'VE) been avoided. I already explained the proper channels that should have been partaken, as stated in WP:PROTECTION. Oh, and Truco, that other protection you mentioned that happened before... it was also... utterly ridiculous.  Raagio  T / C   Guest Book   00:37, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes both wars were ridiculous. Warnings were given to all users for edit warring, and Kalajan was blocked for 24 hours. He then returned and stirred up another war, which led to the current protection. SK was only being a good faith user and trying to get Kalajan to reach a consensus in order for removal of the full protection. In addition, why should they have warned me if I wasn't involved in the war?-- Tru co  00:42, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I think, based on looking at the page history, that page protection is suited for this case. It looks like you need some time to resolve some issues of who is supposed to be on this list. Blocking is of course possible, but that usually just leads to a slower edit war, which won't really accomplish a consensus. Once you all have have come to a consensus just request the page be unprotected at WP:RFPP. The page isn't locked forever, it is just a break from editing until a problem is resolved. Prodego  <sup style="color:darkgreen;">talk  00:48, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * There really isn't a problem, it was just a silly war by one editor, and the reverts by other good faith users.-- Tru co  00:51, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with Truco that there isn't no problem. Especially not one that should affect every single other editor in Wikipedia (about what? million? millions?) and prohibit them from editing this article, regardless of a short length of time or not. However, Truco, it wasn't just one editor. You reverted some edits by SimonKSK, SimonKSK had a bried edit war with Dahumorist about something having to do with unassigned talent and Kalajan was just parading with bad edits (be them good faith or not) which were reverted by SimonKSK. All this, I checked in the history. So, in conclusion, it was you four who actually would have something to dispute about, however, because SimonKSK is not upset because of your revert Truco, I guess this doesn't include you. Prodego, as you see, there was only 3 editors involved, whereas two are ready to discuss and reach a consensus at the talk page. The other, Kalajan, is a once-blocked editor who continues to be involved in edit wars. A longer block could have taken care of that, or maybe a probation. No need for protecting the article.  Raagio  T / C   Guest Book   01:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I edit warred. Yes, it was good faith. Yes, I think the protection was stupid. My edits were all good faith. I reverted Dahumorist's edits, cause he had no reliable source. Kalajan was just being uncivil. I agree that a longer block should have taken place for him, and his talk page should have been protected because of this. I mean, the first edit war was pathetic. He didn't seem to get what a reliable source was. He edit warred, made personal attacks, was uncivil, and did I mention he edit warred? In my opinion, a longer block should have taken place. 1 week, in my opinion. It's sad, but all we can do is wait it out now.  ₰ imon K S K 02:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Of course I don't own the article. I never said I did.  I clearly stated my reason for protecting the page a few sections ago, if you had read back that far.  (Which you didn't, since you didn't know who protected the page.)  When I first saw the page history, I saw that  protected it on January 10, then  unprotected it after a consensus had supposedly been reached on this talk page.  The unprotect was done on 16:26, January 10.  (I think that's my local time).  Between that time and 20:44, January 11, here's what happened to the article:


 * Byron Wilcott and David Otunga were removed and then readded to the list five times.


 * Dos Caras, Jr. was removed and then readded to the list seven times.


 * Jason Riggs and Johnny Riggs were removed and then readded to the list four times.


 * Glamarella was added and then removed from the list three times.


 * Matt Walsh and Mike Hutter were added and then removed from the list three times.


 * Chad Lail was added and then removed from the list three times.


 * I protected the page at 20:44 on January 11.  was blocked at 14:23 on January 11.  In that time, he made 8 edits to the page and used inflammatory edit summaries.  Nevertheless, other people were edit warring, as shown by edit summaries and the number of reverts.   made 6 edits and said he was looking for sources,  made 8 edits and used an edit summary to encourage discussion on the talk page,  made one edit with an inflammatory edit summary, and  made two edits.   made one edit,  made one edit citing WP:BLP, and  made one edit.  There were a few other edits that didn't touch on the contentious material about unassigned talent.


 * With the number of times each of these wrestlers was added and then removed from the list, it's pretty clear that there was an edit war going on. My decision to protect the page was to stop the edit war and to encourage discussion here.  I see there's some discussion, but not much of a consensus yet.  I'm willing to discuss unprotecting the article if people are willing to come to an agreement on what sources can be used to cite someone being a WWE employee.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 04:16, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * No Truco you're wrong, because I didn't return and make another war, the page was protected because I asked to be unblocked and because I've had issues with Elkman in the past (Elkman we have to speak), he protected it after looking into the history. And SK, my block is over so it's too late to suggest another one. Lets just stop edit warring and unprotect this, if anyone declares war, he'll be blocked, not the page. Opinions? Kala  jan  €  ₣  16:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Also I had nothing to do in this war:


 * Byron Wilcott and David Otunga were removed and then readded to the list five times.


 * Dos Caras, Jr. was removed and then readded to the list seven times.


 * Jason Riggs and Johnny Riggs were removed and then readded to the list four times.


 * Glamarella was added and then removed from the list three times.


 * Matt Walsh and Mike Hutter were added and then removed from the list three times.


 * Chad Lail was added and then removed from the list three times.

Probably the third?

Anyway, everyone edited, more or less it matters not, all that matters is were we are and it's all our falt. WE have done this and we'll get out of it.
