 * Don't Delete The Granimal is doing and has done alot for catch wrestling. He runs an association that holds events and promotes the sport, he's writing a book with Erik Paulson one of the top trainers in mma and he's working with Red Line Films on a new television series.  He's very notable to insiders in the business and is becoming more well known to fight fans through his organization American Combat Association  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joey gino (talk • contribs) 19:34, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * You would have to be INSANE to delete an article on Granimal. So many of the people on Wikipedia know nothing about real wrestling.  The Granimal is one of the last links to carnival wrestling.  He's the real deal in already dying art.  Whoever posted any kind of desire to delete him from here has an agenda and doesn't want him and Erik Paulson to be successful with their book.  He's very influential in the business as a trainer and personality and as a professional wrestler he's the best worker currently active in the independents.  Delete Granimal?  Why not delete Karl Gotch, Lou Thesz, Billy Robinson.  Heck why not just delete any reference to catch wrestling at all on Wikipedia which is what some would like to happen.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pacmanskins (talk • contribs) 22:22, 4 May 2009 (UTC)  — Pacmanskins (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment Actually no all the 3 you named are notable as the 3 you mentioned have held numerous championships recognized by some of the top organisations in wrestling and have been inducted into a notable Hall of Fame which is recognized by Wikipedia. Afkatk (talk) 05:56, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
