Talk:One Man Gang

Untitled
Someone had said that Gray had a brief stint in the Full Blooded Italians. I believe they are confusing Gray with Big Sal E. Graziano (Val Puccio). I have removed the reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.173.202.210 (talk • contribs) 17:58, 28 July 2006

ECW
He never was in the FBI, but he did have a run in ECW for a while that should be noted after his WCW career. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dom316 (talk • contribs) 03:12, 15 April 2007
 * Very true. He was at a house show in Lebanon, PA that I attended (either late 1999 or early 2000).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.187.128.89 (talk) 12:51, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:OneManGangUSChamp.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Relations?
If he's from Spartanburg, just wondering if anyone has ever asked whether or not he's related to Doug Gray, the lead singer of the Marshall Tucker Band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.229.69.17 (talk) 10:57, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 22:03, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

George Gray (wrestler) → One Man Gang – This is the ring name that Gray used for the majority of his televised appearances (with the exception of his two year stint as Akeem). This will allow more direct linking and is a less ambiguous title. This is the name Gray is currently using for his sporadic independent circuit appearances.

 * Support as nominator. McPhail (talk) 21:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support Gray has had a prolific career and much exposure under the One Man Gang moniker.LM2000 (talk) 08:34, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support as "One Man Gang" received exposure under multiple promotions on television shows: 1982-1983 on Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling / World Wide Wrestling, 1984 and 1986 in All Japan Pro Wrestling, 1987-1988 in WWF, 1991 and 1995-1996 in WCW. 1998 in ECW. Total of 108 televised matches as "One Man Gang". On the other hand, "Akeem" started in WWF in Sep 1988 and ended two years later, with 63 matches in only one promotion.

 * Support I liked Akeem, but One Man Gang had far more longevity and scope. InedibleHulk (talk) 08:15, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in One Man Gang
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of One Man Gang's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "wwebio": From John Layfield:  From Bret Hart:  From Yoshihiro Tajiri:  From Kofi Kingston:  From Goldust:  From Edge (wrestler):  From Sid Vicious (wrestler):  <li>From Jack Swagger: </li> <li>From André the Giant: </li> <li>From Sting (wrestler): Sting profile. WWE. Retrieved May 7, 2012.</li> <li>From Butch Reed: </li> <li>From Stone Cold Steve Austin: </li> <li>From Jim Duggan: </li> <li>From "Dr. Death" Steve Williams: </li> <li>From Junkyard Dog: </li> <li>From Dave Finlay: </li> <li>From Slick (wrestling): </li> <li>From Randy Savage: </li> <li>From Miss Elizabeth: </li> <li>From Ted DiBiase: </li> <li>From The Miz: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:24, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

"Akeem the Dream"
Shouldn't there be some tidbit about him basically stealing NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon's nickname? Not only was his name Akeem before he changed it to Hakeem, his nickname was also the Dream!! And his tandem with teammate Ralph Sampson was ALSO called the Twin Towers!! They recieved national attention when they reached the NBA Finals a year before the wrestler changed his name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.81.33.59 (talk) 21:05, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I would suggest that we should not unless reliable sources make the claim first.--70.49.80.26 (talk) 00:43, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Video of One Man Gang's Transformation Into Akeem Exists
He claimed was "reborn" and "revitalized," not that he was "actually African."

Is There A Source Claiming That Coming To America Was Influence For His Transformation Into Akeem?
The film was released months before the transformation and its star character was even an African Prince named Akeem.2601:447:4100:1BE0:C09C:C97:1A37:1671 (talk) 18:47, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
