Current World Wrestling Entertainment roster
Thank you for monitering the freqently vandalized page. Since I created it, I have grown tired of the reverting of the article back of it's vandalism/misinformation on a daily basis and I'm glad someone else is helping with that. :-D Thanks again! M o e  ε  21:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Your welcome, it's my pleasure. --JFred 01:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I made some changes to the Current World Wrestling Entertainment roster. I thought I would get some feedback from the major contributors to the article.


 * 1) I added a new section for those not contracted to WWE that are performing in dark matches.
 * 2) I removed those performing OVW that are not contracted and placed them in the above mentioned new section.
 * 3) I removed those performing DSW that are not contracted and placed them in the above mentioned new section.
 * 4) I combined all the stables into one major section to view the stables. Reason behind this is because Superstars from OVW/DSW were blended in tag-teams and stables from both the contracted and non-contracted sections.
 * 5) I combined some sections in the OVW and DSW roster; nothing major.
 * 6) I combined the Announcers and Interviewers section with the commentators sections.
 * 7) I moved Chuck Palumbo to DSW based on many websites confirming he moved there. Previous conflicting reports stated he was going to immediatly to the RAW Brand but that was later proven wrong.

You're input on the changes and and any hidden mistakes you find would be appriciated. M o e  ε  17:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I could have sworn I saw that Lash was contracted to WWE. I saw a interview/story (maybe 2-3 months ago) that confirmed it. I'll try to look for it later. M o e   ε  18:20, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

RE:Thanks
No problem. By the way, I checked into if Lash LeRoux was contracted or not, and he is, but he's been inactive since December for unknwon reasons. M o e  ε  22:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Conservative Party
I really didn't expect there to be at least three active Wikipedia editors from Burlington! (I'm counting in that anon vandal who uses our IP address). I just basically have a Conservative Party card, but I haven't been actively involved in it. Maybe I will be more one day. You should put that tag about the Conservative Party on your user page (like the one I have). JackO&#39;Lantern 04:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me on the Current Roster Page
I think with you, me and Moe ε we can keep that and other wrestling pages perfect and free of vandilism BionicWilliam 02:34, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

RE:The Miz
I understand where you're coming from. But, since he is cutting promos on SmackDown! it implys that he's no longer in OVW or other developmental territories. The method behind the inactive list tells who's part of the roster whether or not they have debuted for them or not. M o e  ε  17:36, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That's cool. I guess we'll have to wait and see about Trinity and Angel Williams because they haven't really been announced. And we should also make exceptions for ads for house shows announcing superstars making debuts to a particular brand (ex. Shannon Moore comes to mind). Well, thanks for your input and Happy Easter!

Previous WWE Roster
Hi. I noticed you moved that page to Former WWE performers. Now, Previous WWE Roster really is a better title for two reasons: 1. The people were formerly on the roster, which makes it a former roster. 2. Former WWE Roster doesn't flow as well as Previous WWE Roster does; it sounds better. Though I probably wouldn't object to "Former" as opposed to "Previous" (this is just me marking out.... yeah, I'm a mark. Get off my back people!) "Roster" fits the context better than "Performers". I won't move the page back just yet, because I would like to see your insight. Thank you. Trosk 22:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, the previous roster is everchanging too. And I'm obviously not going to say "Previous" to describe "previous". Trosk 19:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Officially, roster is a list of names, according to Wikitionary. Nothing in the definition indicates roster means current. If it did, we would have WWE roster, not Current WWE roster. Trosk 19:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Trosk 19:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Bob Orton, Jr.
As far as I can tell, I think they released him from both contracts. Bob Orton, Jr. has been ill with hepatitis and doesn't tour with/or really associate with WWE anymore and I think the recent release was the final release, so to speak. M o e  ε  22:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what Vince would do. ;-) But, I will look into where it talks about his release and his contracts in a minute. I will later comment on what I found. M o e   ε  22:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Brusier Brody
As to Brusier Brody, maybe insert (wife of Brusier Brody) next to her name. It is her that signed the contract, even though everything about the contract is going to be about Brusier Brody, in all due respect, he is deceased, and can't have a contract. She is but a represenative of him since he is deceased and has the contract. M o e  ε  22:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Using his likeness and such still doesn't make him contracted. It allows his information/whatever is used in a legends contract to be used be WWE. It's his wife is really the one contracted though. M o e   ε  22:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thats right, she's in control, not Brusier Brody; she is but a represenative. See my latest edit to the roster. M o e   ε  23:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok. I'll finish looking into that Bob Orton thing in a little while. Right now I'm trying to add names to improve on the Former World Wrestling Entertainment performers. M o e   ε  23:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Vince K
Thats ok not a problem, i actually didnt notice i was typing on the wrong page, my apologies Lil crazy thing 15:29, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

OVW roster
I didn't think you made those changes. I thought it was another editor blanking the article. Please revert or make changes where needed. M o e  ε  23:38, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Eric Young
Well, you might have a point there. My reasoning was that virtually all of his matches in TNA have been tag team matches or matches with tag team wrestlers, and that he has never challenged for the X Division Championship. His wrestling style is hardly stereotypical "no limits" either. If participation in the X Cup is used as a guideline, Bobby Roode should probably also be in the X Division section based on the 2004 Cup. McPhail 20:34, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. McPhail 20:43, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

WWE Alumni page/Barbara Goodish
Thanks for catching the mistake on the Alumni page, I'll make that correction now. About the link, well, while I don't think anyone could create a good article about Barbara Goodish, a red-link could indicate no one has created an article. (ex. Someone creates the Barbara Goodish but we don't know because it's unlinked). We should leave it linked like that because if someone does create it, we know it's been created by a blue-link. While removing red-links turns out to be a short-term benefit it might not be such a good benefit in the future. I started to remove red-links on the roster before under the administration section and it proved to be a little bit of a hassle to find if a page was created or not. M o e  ε  21:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Ugh, I forgot he even wrestled under the name Aldo Montoya, and Montoya used to be one of my favorites ;-) M o e   ε  21:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'm leaving Wikipedia. I need for someone to finish up the WWE Alumni page in my absence since the underconstruction tag can only be placed there for so long. I'll keep in touch.. M o e   ε  00:19, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Current roster/WWE Alumni
Make sure that any name names that are added to the Current roster under the ECW heading are taken off the alumni page since the have been rehired. Although I am not sure that the names listed under the ECW roster right now (Francine, Balls Mahoney, The Sandman, Lance Storm or Justin Credible) have really signed a contract yet. I expect when the page is unprotected that many names will be added by anon IP's. While I am gone, make sure that the factual accuracy to these two pages coincide with each other, meaning that the alumni page is up-to-date with new names added to the roster but to make sure that they are contracted before removing from the alumni page. M o e  ε  21:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

New alumni page
I would just like to say nice job on making the WWE alumni page look a lot nicer. Crazy4metallica 03:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Proposition
Hi. You probably have no idea who I am, but from what I gather you have a good taste in music, and I am fairly sure I've seen you on WP:Pro Wrestling. Is there any chance of collaborating and starting a Wikiproject about the music of wrestling (PPV themes, WWE produced albums, Entrance Music etc)? I would do it myself but I guarantee you I would muck it up. please consider this, as I feel, maybe with the help of Paulley, Master of Puppets and if he doesn't quit - God I hope he doesn't - Moe Epsilon, all of whom I will contact, we would make a damn good team. Thanks. Kingfisherswift 12:35, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for joining the music of wrestling wikiproject - I'm tempted to expand it to include books as well. If it's ok, could you please write up a list of articles to create? I'll do articles to expand, and then we'll go from there. THANKS Kingfisherswift 16:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
