Talk:SummerSlam (2000)

TLC
Are the Hardy Boyz really (w/ Lita)? She doesn't come out to the ring with them, she makes a run in right at the end and topples the ladder to stop the Hardys' opponents getting the gold and is then speared by Edge but she doesn't accompany them to the ring or stand around during the match cheering.Tony2Times (talk) 15:35, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe. The usually source I would check is not working right now.  TJ   Spyke   01:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Pre-GA Review
This article is looking good. There are a few things that I would recommend working on, though:
 * 1) The lead should be expanded. Ideally, it should be three paragraphs. I would also recommend adding more to the first paragraph so that it's not so short (tagline, theme song, attendance, or something).
 * 2) The second sentence in the second paragraph of the lead should be split up. A separate sentence for each of the matches would look better.
 * 3) * ✅ King   iMat  thew   20  08  13:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Also from the lead, were the belts hung from the rafters or from a rope, chain, etc. that was hung from the rafters? Currently, it makes it sound like the belts were quite high up.
 * 5) At the beginning of the "Background" section, it talks about a six-man match, but I only count five participants.
 * 6) * ✅ King   iMat  thew   20  08  13:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) It doesn't seem right to discuss the background between Kane and The Undertaker without mentioning the fact that they are kayfabe brothers.
 * 8) To keep the article out of universe, it is preferred to write that "Wrestler X performed a Move Y on Wrestler Z" rather than "Wrestler X hit a Move Y on Wrestler Z". This also comes into play with things like "Sexay crotched Richards", which should be rephrased.
 * 9) In the event section, "Edge and Christian knocked Bubba off a ladder onto ringside" should be rephrased. What does "onto ringside" mean? The floor? The barricade? The edge of the ring?
 * 10) * ✅ King   iMat  thew   20  08  13:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) Later in that section, "countering an attack by Kane with the steel ring steps into one of his own" is awkwardly phrased.
 * 12) * ✅ King   iMat  thew   20  08  13:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) Can you explain what you mean when you say the table broke "prematurely"? And was it a legitimate injury or a kayfabe injury?
 * 14) In the second paragraph of the "Aftermath" section, "The Undertaker interfered in a WWF Championship match between Kane and The Rock, who won the match." is awkwardly phrased. Did The Undertaker's interference affect the outcome? And is the sentence saying that The Rock won the match (I'm almost certain it is, but it could be more clear)?
 * 15) * ✅ King   iMat  thew   20  08  13:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 16) Reference 36 needs an access date.
 * 17) Consistency needed in references section: is the publisher "World Wrestling Entertainment" or "WWE"?

I'll finish going through the article soon. I wanted to make a start on this tonight, though. I hope this helps. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:36, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Results
Do we really need four references for each result? The event is available on video and DVD so it is unlikely that these would be disputed. --Jameboy (talk) 22:47, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:SummerSlam (2003) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 05:17, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Big Show?
I've heard that Undertaker vs. Kane was originally booked to have been Undertaker vs. Big Show due to Show turning heel and assautling Taker the night after Fully Loaded, and even putting Kane out of action the following week. But, Big Show had serious weight problems, so he was temporarily written off TV when Taker threw him off the entance stage on the 7 August episode of Raw is War, so Big Show could head down to Ohio Valley Wrestling to get his weight problem under control. Should it be noted in the article? FlapjackStantz (talk) 18:34, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Recent edits
Please take a look again at my edits ( and ) which you reverted. The first edit I removed the reference which is now a deadlink. I just commented it out in case someone who knows this subject better can find a better reference. I suppose it might be better to delete it entirely. The second edit the times are not was is in the only WP:RS that exists that mentions time:     --David Tornheim (talk) 21:06, 27 December 2018 (UTC) I went ahead and deleted the references to both of the canoe sources that no longer work. Maybe that works better for you? But still the times that I corrected should be restored to reflect the only WP:RS we have. --David Tornheim (talk) 21:22, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Firstly if your issue is with the dead link, the proper think to do is use Template:Deadlink to tag it, not just write it and hide the ref. Second, I suggest you check out WP:PW/RS for a listing of professional wrestling related RS, which hoffco-inc is not. Finally, thank you for pointing this out, I have updated it to a RS -  Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk  15:50, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
