No Mercy 2002 Theme Song
What's the theme song for No Mercy 2002 that is heard before Taker vs Lesnar?

No Mercy 2002
During the title unification match between Triple H and Kane, Hurricane Helms interfered as well. Shouldn't that be on there too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.117.179.226 (talk • contribs)

Taker Vs Kenedy
Do not add this match until it is annouced which should be on this Friday's smackdown. As per what bulletproof said this isnt a crystal ball. Do not add the matches until they are announced Overlordneo 11:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Every damn week we have to go through this, people read the SmackDown spoilers and then want to add them to articles here. People don't even bother to read that warning at the bottom of the page saying not to add them. TJ Spyke 21:18, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * is it really for the us championship cause i didnt hear that —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssjbooger (talk • contribs)
 * It's not, one editor just keeps adding that in. TJ Spyke 04:33, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah usually they'll announce any stipulations, e.g. title match loser leaves, when they announce the match up. It could still become a title match, or get other stipulations attached to it but at this point it is just a standard match. Night Bringer 17:09, 11 September 2006 (GMT +10)

Spoilers
Listen, if on your cable tv, you flip to PPV Previews and it tells you a match that is not on wwe.com, can you add it to these articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.193.101.202 (talk • contribs)

Mysterio vs. Guerrero

 * The official No Mercy site shows a contradiction concerning the Rey Mysterio / Chavo Guerrero match; the main page lists it as Last Man Standing, but the particular page for the match says it's falls count anywhere. What do we do about this? MarcK 06:07, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That is odd. I guess we should wait and see what the announcers call it on SmackDown this week. TJ Spyke 06:42, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * They seem to have corrected it now, tha main page says "Falls Count Anywhere" as well. TJ Spyke 06:43, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Then why on WWE.com on the Mysterio vs. Guerrero page it say the match is a No Hold Bar Falls Count Anywhere? User:Kings_bibby_win(UTC)
 * What? Click on the link MarcK provided, they don't say "No Holds Barred". Besides, that would be redundant since Falls Count Anywhere matches are automatically no hold barred. TJ Spyke 01:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh...well then wat was that i seen on WWE.com?

Regal/Mccool Nudity
Why is this information being deleted constantly? It happened on screen, it should be referenced, but then a lot of information that transpires beyond the results of matches are'nt mentioned for no real reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. R.K.Z (talk • contribs)
 * Wikipedia is not a news site, there are plenty of sites that go into every little detail of a PPV. TJ Spyke 20:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

No Mercy 2006 Poster
there is a poster going around for smackdown No Mercy PPV that has Undertaker in a gravyard ready to wrestler Possable spoiler is the main event will be a Buried Alive Match
 * Posters don't always have to do with match. Undertaker was the focus of the Survivor Series 2005 poster but only appeared at the end. TJ Spyke 23:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Where is the original poster with king boorker and Sharmell over a slain dragon? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.193.110.200 (talk • contribs)
 * Replaced, bu a more updated one I think. TJ Spyke 01:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

shouldn't we put that Stone Cold Steve Austin and Batista have appeared the most on No Mercy posters with 2 each?Urena198 20:25, 26 (UTC)March 2007
 * I don't see that as really being notable. TJ Spyke 20:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

No Mercy 2000 Match Missing
Hey looking through this you should have The Acolytes & Lita Vs Test, Albert & Trish Stratus. Even though it was a no contest it was still part of the event. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.101.57.226 (talk) 09:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC).

No Mercy 2000 Match Missing

 * It wasn't a no-contest, it wasn't even officially a match. It was just a brawl. TJ Spyke 09:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

It's Fatal Four Way
I noticed there's a mild edit war going on. It's "Fatal Four Way". WWE clearly refers to it that way. 216.173.214.42 22:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you guys mind taking this to the talk page please? Edwardtang 22:53, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Both are acceptable and used, although using the "-" is grammatically correct. Even WWE.com uses both . TJ Spyke 22:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, it seems to me that we should be consistent across Wikipedia though - this should be discussed over at WikiProject_Professional_wrestling instead of you guys constantly reverting each other's changes (and seemingly violating Three-revert_rule in the process) Edwardtang 23:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean to do that. Anyways, I am trying to be consistant since we have always used the dash here (at least in PPV results, not sure about every page). TJ Spyke 23:03, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The official results are "Fatal Four Way" for NM 2005 & 2006, see here and here, not to mention other PPV results like here, here, and here. WWE clearly refers to it as "Fatal Four Way" in its results so it should be kept that way. There shouldn't be a problem --Maestro25 23:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Except I showed WWE uses both, and other sources use the dash (which is more grammatically correct) . We should use the more common and grammatically correct version. I only reverted it back to your incorrect version because I don't want to violate 3RR. TJ Spyke 23:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Let's continue this discussion over on the wrestling project talk page so other's can chime in.  Edwardtang 23:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Revert/edit warring over a stupid thing like a dash is pretty lame. The article isn't hurt in any form, so the war shouldn't have happened period. I know the main discussion is at the wrestling project talk page: but that hasn't solved anything as of yet it seems. The wrestling articles should be setup the same way: if most have a dash, then this should. If most don't have a dash, then this shouldn't. The articles should be consistent with things such as dashes and all that. RobJ1981 21:22, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the caps, but IT'S BEEN OVER A MONTH. UNLOCK THE ARTICLE! That is all. Mshake3 15:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Umaga vs. Triple H??
Is this match even been announced? Or does someone just have a hunch ? Welshy1791 08:02, 19 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Welshy1791 (talk • contribs) 07:59, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * LE SIGH! Mshake3 14:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

References?
Not exactly sure what happened to the Reference section of this article. In the 2007 section, there appear to be citation links to a reference list ..but I don't see the reference list anywhere on the page - its just random citations that don't appear to point to anything :P --Naha|(talk) 18:02, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Whatever the problem was appears to be fixed. Is it still a problem for you, because I can see the refs just fine. The Hyb rid  01:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Its fine now :) --Naha|(talk) 01:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Good. When I was adding a match earlier I discovered that all of the refs were done wrong, and one of them had an unclosed tag. It might have been because of that. Anyway, I'm glad that it's fixed. Cheers, The Hyb rid  01:37, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

No Mercy 2007 Offical Song
May we please delete the song "Sweet Sacrifice" by Evanescence because even though it says its the offical song of No Mercy 2007 WWE has not yet confirmed it and wikipedia runs by wwe.com or tv airing because this problem is the same one we had at the Great American Bash 2007 when the song was originally going to be "Lost Highway" by Bon Jovi but about 2 weeks before the pay per view they changed it to "Church Of Hot Addiction" by Cobra Starship.

So may we remove the song until it has been officaly announced by WWE Themselves.Deadman lastride666 16:27, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

On Smackdown where they were showing the matches so far the song No Mercy that has also been used for a few other No Mercy ppv's was playing. And why isn't that song on any others? Welshy1791 09:45, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It is mentioned, see the top of the page. TJ Spyke 01:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh Right, my bad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Welshy1791 (talk • contribs) 08:21, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Chris Jericho returning?
at the commercials for raw and ecw there were strange numbers and letters and it said 222 if you review the tapes on the commercials right before the main event something should be mentioned —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.91.210 (talk • contribs)
 * No, nothing should be mentioned. First, you don't know what that commercial was for (why the heck does anyone think it's Jericho?). Second, we wouldn't mention it anyways. MAYBE if Jericho does return at No Mercy, we might note it after the PPV is over (only because he's been gone since August 2005). Also, please sign your posts. TJ Spyke 21:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * People believe it's Jericho because of a slowed down youtube clip of the commercial. There are supposedly some references to Jericho in it but nothing can be confirmed, so the point is moot. Wrestling message boards are flooded with theory topics. In any case, nothing can be confirmed, so the point is moot. Gavyn Sykes 23:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I checked a link someone gave at WP:PW, and it's nothing more than a bunch of people speculating. TJ Spyke 23:21, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * yeah, lets crystalball again :) no, just leave it away. or is it confirmed by wwe.com? ;) Diivoo 21:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)]

No it isn't. 76.110.82.251 00:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

07 Cena/Orton...
Well, Cena just got injured, and he's out for 6-8 months. The macth for No Mercy is off. Is it confirmed that it would be Orton vs. somebody, or is Orton no confirmed yet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.85.184 (talk) 21:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * At this point, nothing is confirmed, besides Cena being injured. The match could be anything from a battle royal to a one-on-one. Gavyn Sykes 22:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * WWE.com is saying that Vince McMahon will address the situation at the beginning of ECW tonight, so we should know in about 1 hour. TJ Spyke 01:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks like the match is officially off, Cena is no longer champ and it will be fought for at No Mercy. The match is not announced yet though.--TopherRocks 02:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

'07 WWE Championship match
Is it really that notable that the match was intended to have been Cena vs. Orton LMS? Gavyn Sykes 02:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * We usually note when a match is announced and then changed (like someone getting injured). The fact that the champion got injured and had to give up the title 5 days before the event helps make it notable and worth mentioning IMO. TJ Spyke 02:35, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright then. I've not encountered these circumstances before since I joined the project, but the note seemed a bit crufty to me at first. Your word is good enough for me, though. Gavyn Sykes —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 02:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Another note, can anyone confirm whether the tag team Championship match announced on this weeks Smackdown (to be aired this coming Friday (ie. tomorrow), is at No Mercy on Sunday, or is it on next weeks Smackdown? It wasn't clarified in the spoilers.Taker04 09:02, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I can't say either way, but it doesn't matter since consensus is that spoilers are avoided. Gavyn Sykes 15:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

WWE Tag Team Championship Match
wwe.com has announced the tag team title match between kane and the undertaker v mvp and matt hardy..check the site, can this be added now? Love Dissapeared 18:40, 4 october 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not seeing that match listed anywhere on the No Mercy page on WWE.com. Do you have a direct link? Gavyn Sykes 18:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * He won't have a link since the match was announced at the SmackDown taping, making it a spoiler and thus can't be added to the article yet. TJ Spyke 20:06, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Just as I thought. Thanks for confirming that. Interesting match nonetheless. Gavyn Sykes 20:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't the challengers be refered to as the Brothers of Destruction? 66.68.137.132 23:22, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but not until tomorrow night. It will be reverted before then. TJ Spyke 00:27, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * of the spoilers I have seen, one has stated only that the match has been made, another that it has been made for next week, but as others have said it is best to wait until the episode airs, especially with the situation of the WWE title match. one suggestion i have read for that match was Taker vs Orton, so really the only ones who know what is happening are those in Titan Towers Lynx Raven Raide 07:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Smackdown has aired in Australia, it's ok, it is no longer a spoiler, add the match —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.110.26 (talk) 08:43, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * who cares about Australia?!? It will be added when aired in the US and posted on wwe.com and thats the bottom line Diivoo 14:52, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Here we go again... F Spoilers. It's time for articles to be accurate, and not sensative to a few. Mshake3 14:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Sigh, I wish people would read the warnings. The consensus at WP:PW is to wait for the US airing. Adding it before then will be reverted as vandalism, especially since last weeks situation is still up on this page. TJ Spyke 21:48, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Another reason to be wary of spoilers. The spoilers at Wrestling Observer made it sound like this match would happen at No Mercy, but a promo on SmackDown just aired saying it will take place next week on SD (does this mean these 4 men won't have a match at No Mercy?). TJ Spyke 01:51, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * first off, why wait until it airs in the US? if the show airs it airs, so i dont think you should have to wait until X country has seen it before adding. secondly, WWE.com states the match is for SD! next week, so no it wont be on the No Mercy card. Lynx Raven Raide 02:25, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Part of the reason is because that's how WWE does it too (not mentioning anything on their site until it airs in the US). WWE is also a US based company. TJ Spyke 02:40, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * So? maybe it should turn around and be that nothing gets posted till the program airs in all markets? I personally see no difference, the show has aired, no matter what market it is, so the information should be admissable. If submissions from other markets added before it airs in the US are deemed as spoilers, then submissions from the US airing posted before it airs in other markets should be deemed as spoilers too, otherwise it shows double standards. Lynx Raven Raide 02:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I totally agree with you. I think it's stupid that people can add RAW and ECW stuff before it airs any where else in the world and isn't counted as a spoiler but when we try add something on Smackdown we have to wait for American to see because they don't want to spoil their precious TV time. I think info should wait to be added until everyone has seen it. Welshy1791 03:56, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * there was a discussion about this at WP:PW long time ago and there we had come to the agreement that we wait until it airs in the US, because the majority decided so. We could also add the smackdown stuff on tuesday, because it is taped on tuesday and because it is taped, it is aired in some way as well, but we dont do that either, because it would be a spoiler. Diivoo 06:49, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I would like to see this discussion. I will say, however, there is a difference between adding stuff that gets taped on Tuesday and stuff that has aired in other markets besides the US. Stuff can be added or taken away from the show from what is taped, but once the show airs, that is the final product.Lynx Raven Raide 06:54, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * We allready found a consensus a time ago, so further discussion is not necessary. nothing has changed since then, so why cant you just accept that? Diivoo 16:33, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

It has aired, so why hasn't it been added yet?Furioku 15:07, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * It was stated during Smackdown that the match IS NOT at No Mercy, but next week on SD. Gavyn Sykes 15:09, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding local commercials revealing Spoilers
This is a big issue that seems to attract a lot of vandalism to upcoming wrestling event articles. The problem being that random people deliberately add matches to the upcoming event's card that have supposedly been announced on commercials aired during RAW, Smackdown!, or ECW. Once these people are confronted about their additions of these spoilers, they tend to use the commercials as their source. The problem is that they do not seem to realize that these promos shown when a WWE broadcast goes off the air during commercials are actually only airing on specific local areas and are NOT in fact being shown nation wide. WWE (at times) unintentionally releases commercials and promos on future events, spoiling matches and sometimes even their outcomes, to the specific local media outlet. This is stupidly done to attract interest from fans in that local area and increase possible attendance and buyrate figures for the upcoming event. The most recent case being the Vengeance DX promo notable for being released in some areas roughly two months before the actual event took place. Only when matches are announced on-screen by talent or during the actual WWE broadcast and NOT during commercials can this sort of information NOT be considered a spoiler. Some may argue, "So what if they aren't shown nation wide, they were still released by World Wrestling Entertainment which means they are legit and therefore all matches spoiled have a right to be added to articles!" Now the problem with that simply is this... It is unencyclopedic. You see, what these people fail to realize is that Wikipedia is NOT, I repeat, NOT a Wrestling News site. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and therefore cannot provide spoilers on future history or events that have yet to be. Wikipedia is an internet encyclopedia, in other words, it's an ENCYCLOPEDIA. If you honestly feel the need to be an Internet Troll and add content spoiling what has yet to occur (in this case about wrestling), then please do so elsewhere such as... oh wow! ...a Wrestling News site! As best stated on Wikipedia Policy... "Before adding any sort of content, ask yourself what would a reader expect to find in an encyclopedia." ...and I highly doubt that you would be expecting to find out who will be in the main event at WrestleMania 100, even if you do happen to find a promo somewhere right now announcing it to be Hulk Hogan vs. Vince McMahon's grandson. Content such as spoilers, rumors, and other nonsense will be removed on the spot for the reasons just explained. This content simply does not comply with Wikipedia's Policies and guidelines and the addition of it is considered vandalism. Once again, please do NOT add any sort of content that even you would know is a spoiler (spoiling future history and events that have yet to be} and unencyclopedic. If you do in fact feel the need to be an Internet Troll, please do so elsewhere and not on Wikipedia. Thank you for reading and I honestly do hope that this clears up any confusion over spoilers and why they are being removed. Thank you. -- bullet  proof  3:16 19:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Hilarious! He's saying that listing matches announced on local PPV or arena commercials is trolling because it's "predicting what will happen." Isn't the mere listing of matches the same thing? Seems like someone is ticked off that his "match announcements" are being spoiled. Geez. Mshake3 03:55, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

False results for 2007
Someone just put that Triple H defeated Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. Aside from the fact that Triple H has a match against Umaga tonight, it is only 8:50 P.M. (as of this writing) and thus the main event (which this match IS) is still hours away. AndarielHalo 00:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

If your not watching the PPV, how can you say the information is false. Its live, anything can happen and this did happen. Don.-.J 00:52, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Try watching the PPV. Or reading one of the MANY sites which are reporting the results as they happen. Orton was awarded the title at the beginning of RAW, Triple H came out and insulted Vince to get a title shot right there. TJ Spyke 00:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

When it was written, I checked on wwe.com and it said HHH won the WWE Championship. 76.110.82.251 01:06, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

You're right, sorry. But the match results should be referenced to the actual match results rather than a preview. AndarielHalo 01:21, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * WWE doesn't change it right away (someone at WWE has to write the result first). TJ Spyke 01:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Is anyone sure if the HHH vs Umaga match is for the WWE Championship? I thought it was a regular match. 76.110.82.251 01:29, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Watch the PPV or read the live coverage at a website. After the six man tag team match, Vince announced that Triple H/Umaga would be for the title. TJ Spyke 01:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

??

Dang, three WWE championship matches in one night. All involving HHH. 76.110.82.251 01:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * We should put the truth behind that opening match back on the article (the fact it was supposed to be between Cena and Orton until Cena's injury). I think its rather relevant.SuperSonicTH 21:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Triple H vs. Umaga
I can't revert this again, but it is not worth noting that the match was not originally for the WWE Championship. For one thing, it's pretty damn obvious since Triple H just won the title 30 minutes earlier. Second, we don't note a match suddely being for a title (or if a match was supposed to be for a title). TJ Spyke 06:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

What are you talking about? 76.110.82.251 21:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone made a note about the match not originally being for the title. It's doesn't need to be mentioned IMO. I can't revert it again yet without risking getting in trouble. TJ Spyke 22:10, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

IMO? 76.110.82.251 01:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Matt Hardy vs. MVP
How is their pizza eating contest not notable? Ridiculous... TonyFreakinAlmeida 12:35, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * It was part of the evening's show, it was in ring and it lasted for a fairly nauseating 15 minutes or so. If you're gonna list Randy being awarded the title at the beginning of the event, which was a promo, then this should be mentioned to because it's a similar spot. I'm for it being added in too Tony2Times 14:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
