Bruiser (bull)

 * ... that Bruiser and Bodacious are the only two bulls to win the Professional Bull Riders World Champion Bull and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Bull of the Year titles? "He joined Bodacious in becoming the only other bull to win both the PBR World Champion Bull title and the PRCA Bull of the Year title."
 * ALT1: ... that Bruiser broke bull riding icon J. B. Mauney's jaw when he rode him for 93.25 points at the Professional Bull Riders World Finals in 2014? "However, he collided with Bruiser at the buzzer and broke his jaw."
 * ALT2: ... that at the Professional Bull Riders World Finals in 2016, three bulls tied for World Champion Bull, and the tiebreaker gave the win to Bruiser? "This year at Finals three bulls actually tied for their scores, Bruiser, Long John, and Pearl Harbor. The tiebreaker, of course, went to Bruiser."

 * Comment: QPQ done. I'll also be editing a bit to try to make the article more concise and also for tone and try to cut down on the non-free content (quotes). I'm very open to edits of the hooks or using the alternate hooks.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg This amazing article is new enough and long enough. Going for the original hook (the others are less interesting) which is cited inline. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues, the high score on Earwig referring to various quotations in the article. Is it possible to find an image for use in the article?

 * Thank you! When they are alive it can be hard to find an image unless you take it yourself at an event. After they are deceased I can usually get a fair use image. But I will try, and also see if can help me find one. dawnleelynn(talk) 16:41, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this. Are you ready to cut down on the quotes and comments in every section? I notice that Bodacious is written much more concisely/encyclopedic. Yoninah (talk) 22:42, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll work on this tomorrow. I've worked on Bodacious for a long time. I even WP:TNT'd it the last time. Also, I didn't create it from scratch; it was here when I started seriously editing. dawnleelynn(talk) 03:57, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, it took me a little while longer to get to it. Let me know if you think this copyedit is enough. Thanks. dawnleelynn(talk) 22:59, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg thank you for all the work you put into this. I saw you left me a long response on the talk page yesterday, but I was too tired to review it then. I see you did a lot of paraphrasing, and while you left in a lot of the Pages' "chatty" quotes—e.g. "He is fun every morning. He is a character. If you don't go by and scratch him, he will just be over there screaming at you to come over there and love on him". "He is a better bull if he is in his everyday work clothes". "I've seen a lot of good bulls, but I’ve never come across one as good as this one. We’ve had some bulls be crowned World Champion Bull before, but this bull is just so cool and so ready to work and just a great athlete. It's more special".—there's a lot of technical discussion and the quotes you left kind of liven it up. So all is good. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 23:42, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
