As this is the oldest nomination in the GAN list, I'll have a shot at the review. I'll need some time to get my head around the subject first because it's way outside my comfort zone. I can say there is no danger of immediate failure here because there is no obvious evidence of copyvio and the article appears to be stable. Also, there is certainly an abundance of citations which is a good sign. More anon. No Great Shaker (talk) 20:24, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Questions about sections 1.1 to 1.4

 * 1) Need an explanation of the term death match as the link is to a novel article with issues.
 * 2) Tajiri was spotted by ECW owner Paul Heyman. Could you provide a citation there, please, as the next one doesn't seem to cover it.
 * 3) Tajiri's bond with Corino eventually blossomed into a relationship with Cyrus and The Network. Similarly, need a citation to confirm this statement.
 * 4) Need explanation of the term triple threat match which doesn't have a link.
 * 5) Tajiri would begin his second face run after being betrayed by a heel. Sorry, I don't understand this at all. Can it be reworded?
 * 6) As Judgment Day seems to be a recurring event, the year should be given.

This is all I have time for right now. Will continue tomorrow, starting at 1.5 Hustle (2006–2010). Thanks. No Great Shaker (talk) 21:30, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for doing this, I will start working on your comments tonight. MPJ-DK (talk) 22:20, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
 * No problem. All the best. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:29, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe I have addressed all the issues brought up, please let me know if they are not sufficiently clear. MPJ-DK (talk) 16:46, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Further questions

 * 1) I thought a few grammar corrections were necessary in section 1.5 but please check these haven't disrupted context or meaning, given that I know little about the sport.
 * 2) IWGP is used four times in 1.7 without elaboration. Please give the full title before the first use of the initials.
 * 3) Please explain the term hardcore match, as in Smash section.

I'll have to break off again now. Besides reviewing section 1, I've studied the broader canvas of the article and this is reflected in the pass marks applied to the criteria above. Everything is fine so far except that I just need to be sure about the overall prose, as some of the questions raised will indicate. The images are good and there are no copyvio problems. I think the scale and quality of verification are excellent. Structure is good and it's all done in summary style without unnecessary detail, although a bit more detail would help in a few places as per the questions. The lead is very good as a summary of Yoshi's career. Overall, it looks as if it just needs a bit of fine tuning and I'm confident that it will pass once I've studied the remaining sections and completed the bits below here. Will be back soon.

 * I have addressed these 3 as well. MPJ-DK (talk) 16:47, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Summary
Thanks for answering the questions, MPJ-DK. I've got a much better understanding of the terminology now and I'm happy with the prose as it is well within the context of wrestling. I've no questions about the remaining sections. That said, everything is good, and I can happily pass the article as a GA. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:18, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
