 * That's their problem, brother! The question is, why are you posting at the top of this page? Start at the bottom, little dude, and if you train, say your prayers and eat your vitamins, maybe one day you'll take this spot the old-fashioned way: via the power of the urn!

Ryan Shamrock
Ryan Shamrock was not actually Ken Shamrock's sister it should be noted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.151.186 (talk • contribs) 22:49, 15 March 2006

Favourite moves
It sort of merges with Noteable feuds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.12.125 (talk • contribs) 01:33, 21 June 2006

Beating John Cena
Someone claims Venis beat John Cena for the WWE Championship in Septemeber 2006 by using something called "the Fetus Bomb". I have checked a lot of different websites and that never happened. Also the site formerly credited Val Venis as a 7 time WWE Champion (something only The Rock has done) where the truth is he has never won the WWE Championship. I am requesting this article be protected for vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.193.135.2 (talk • contribs) 05:33, 25 September 2006

Oxford?
Venis did not attend Oxford. I asked him point-blank in a 1-on-1 interview--yes I am a reporter. He says it's just a rumor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.149.21.10 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 10 November 2006
 * LOL. no your not.

Wrestlemania XIX
He actually defended the titles with Storm on the HEAT before Wrestlemania XIX Themasterofdisguise 22:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

LSE
Ok I have tried to research this but cannot find anywhere else other than wikipedia (or sources citing wikipedia as a source) that he attended LSE. Can someone confirm this? Surely there would be an article somewhere mentioning this? What did he study? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.246.0 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 7 July 2007

LOL
this page is pathetic. Im gonna erase this page from existance later. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)
 * Val Venis is just a jobber now on Raw. He loses every week agaisnt the new talent. Like Umaga, Kennedy, Khali, even old school guys like Finlay and Ric Flair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.84.138.36 (talk) 03:20, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Arrested
Turns out Val was arrested in Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday the 2nd of September. --Zero Cool 19:05, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Weight
Val Venis's weight should be 244 lbs shouldn't it? This is according to what he is announced as on RAW. Lee 21:47, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Clean Up
Not to be mean/rude but this page is a mess! The early life section needs to be expanded, and it all needs a rewrite. Thanks, Rich Guy (talk) 17:50, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * So, be bold!! ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 19:01, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Released
Since on Val Venis's page shows that he was released, should the link about him be removed from the employee page just like how Ric Flair got removed? I'm not sure whether to or not because people might say I'm vandalizing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.160.45.28 (talk) 14:03, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It wouldn't be vandalizing. He's not an employee anymore.  TJ   Spyke   15:16, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I just checked and the WWE roster page is fully protected due to a editing dispute (one editor kept adding unsourced info), so only admins can edit it. Bring it up there.  TJ   Spyke   15:29, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Sean Morley
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 Sean Morley'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.

Cena
above got me wondering: have John Cena and Val Venis ever fought in a match? I know they've faced mutual opponents like Kurt Angle in their careers, but I don't recall if they've encountered one another either in a pay-per-view or even in a normal TV episode. Perhaps a dark match? Ranze (talk) 21:03, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Sean Morley → Val Venis – This is the ring name Morley used for the majority of his 11 year WWF/E career, the period in his career when he received the greatest exposure through appearances on televised and pay-per-view. This is the ring name Morley is currently using for independent appearances. This will allow far more direct linking. McPhail (talk) 20:22, 24 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Support as nominator. McPhail (talk) 20:22, 24 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Support - As the clear WP:COMMONNAME of the subject, even to this day he still uses the name.  STATic  message me!  20:25, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support This name and gimmick far outweighs the others, in quantity and quality. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:48, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose - You can't forget about the time he spent as "Chief Morley." --GeicoHen (talk) 22:32, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support He did have that brief stint as Chief Morley, but he was Val for much longer and received more exposure under that name.LM2000 (talk) 18:55, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support while its true that he was for a time called Chief Morely, he was much better known under his Val Venus persona.--70.49.82.207 (talk) 22:12, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - What about his stint in TNA? He used his real name there. --GeicoHen (talk) 07:52, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * That short insignificant stint would not sway his WP:COMMONNAME away from Val Venis.  STATic  message me!  14:08, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Speaking of ringnames...
Does anyone know anything about "Señor Penis"? Like, anything other than it's a supposed former ringname? All I find with Google is the kind of stuff you typically see lifted from Wikipedia, and forums wondering about Wikipedia mentioning this. It's listed on (and sourced to) Cagematch, but WrestlingData and OWW don't say anthing.

Ist das ein Witz, or is it a joke? In any case, I'm removing it till it's clearer this existed. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:33, 29 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Same goes for "Sean Austin". InedibleHulk (talk) 05:39, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
