Jericho's involvement?

Shouldn't Jericho's interference be acknowledged? As him acting to want to help HBK, did cause Shawn to take more damage from Batista. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chuubii (talk • contribs) 19:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kayfabe

How do we know that The Undertaker will be kayfabe fired? There has been a rumor and I know it is only a rumor that he has been wanting to retire. How do we know this might be for real?--WillC (talk) 00:10, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, a rumour is what it is. And if this was indeed his last match then him being "fired" by Vickie would still be kayfabe because in reality he would have, I'm assuming, chose to leave and therefore if he was "fired" and was never seen again, it would still be kayfabe. Mark handscombe (talk) 16:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, it's most likely one of those: I buried the Undertaker!, 3 weeks later, bell gongs, match is made, 'Taker wins type of thing. Besides he can't leave his streak at 16-0.SimonK S K 16:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I heard it on Last nights Smackdown, and saw it. So i guess it aint a rumor. Because Vickie wants Edge to win the Championship and not the undertaker.--Pookeo9 (talk) 19:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but it is kayfabe. Plus, how many times has the Undertaker been "fired" or "killed"...a lot. Mark handscombe (talk) 09:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well from what I remember he has never been fired besides that time that he was injured and he supposedly quit. He has died and came back around 4 to 6 times from what I remember. But that is besides the point. This topic is really useless because we do know he is probably going to win. I made the topic because this could be true and was wondering how do we know it is kayfabe. The Ric Flair thing seemed kayfabe for a second. Maybe this is actually true, is what I'm getting at here.--WillC (talk) 09:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but Flair obviously chose to retire, so to make it into a story line they gave him the "next time you lose you're fired" angle. Mark handscombe (talk) 10:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone who saw the HOF ceremony or saw Raw 6 days before WM24 knew that Flair would be retiring. He made it so obvious. ^{-GuffasBorgz7-} 20:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In any case, Undertaker being "kayfabed fired" is still accurate. Even if he was planning on retiring (which he isn't) him being fired for losing a match is still a storyline. It's not as though the WWE is actually going to fire him if doesn't win his match at the PPV. If he does lose (which he won't) it's probably just to take time off.. much like William Regal being fired, but only for 60 days apparently since that's the length of his real life suspension.--preceded unsigned comment by 12.145.220.220 talk

That Is actually true, Undertaker is actually planning on taking a leave of absence (i'm assuming to spend some time with Family) go it from PWI and they are 99% accurate in their reports, he's more than likely going to come back (bar any special circumstances) just the question WHICH Undertaker will he come back as.RIPped (talk) 03:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully biker (ABA) persona. 76.110.82.251 (talk) 21:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Undertaker Will Win

I think it is a foregone conclusion, given the fact that the WWE Night of Champions Poster, shows Undertaker as the World Heavyweight Champion.--Subman758 (talk) 02:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Posters mean nothing. Kane was on the 2007 Judgment Day Poster and was only in a dark match. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 02:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And Rey was on the Great American Bash 2007 poster and wasn't there. And he was on the Royal Rumble poster but didn't compete in that match. WeLsHy (talk) 02:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well you were obviously wrong Subman. Hiphopchamp 22:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)_{Subscript text} —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.96.33.5 (talk) [reply]

Undertaker lost. 76.110.82.251 (talk) 11:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please

Semi-protect this page. I don't know how to request for it myself... but as can be plainly seen, it's getting @^#%ed up. 3pointswish (talk) 02:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably some douche bag who can't get their own way when it comes to changign something so they're messing the page up coz they think they're "cool". WeLsHy (talk) 02:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I laughed my fucking ass off when I read that Chris Jericho interfered "on" Shawn Michaels and sucked it hard. That was just great. I love immature humor AndarielHalo (talk) 02:57, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title name

I think this article should be renamed One Night Stand:Extreme Rules because that is the name it was promoted under just like Vengeance:Night of Champions, comments?--SRX^--^Latino Heat 14:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, because this event was also used before as a PPV, without the Extreme Rules part. It's just like with Over the Edge (1998), which you said had to stay named that way even though it was also promoted as Over the Edge: In Your House. --Andresg770 (talk) 17:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OTE could also be renamed, but you were the only one supporting the move.--SRX^--^Latino Heat 21:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like it should be One Night Stand: Extreme Rules, the entire set up had way more to do with extreme rules, the apron said Extreme Rules, where they show the wrestlers name as they entered said extreme rules, The only thing that said One Night Stand was the construction sign which flashed between one night stand and extreme rules. --24.94.251.19 (talk) 10:40, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Match times

As I did with Judgment Day, I have added the match times into the article. There's the source: [1]. 411mania is listed on WP:PW as being reliable Mark handscombe (talk) 16:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added the ref to the article. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 17:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I Quit Background

Is there any reason why the background I wrote for the 'I Quit' Match has been entirely deleted? If it was unconcisely worded or incorrect I'd understand it being edited but why removed altogether? Tony2Times (talk) 01:01, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Event section

I've added it,feel free to edit it,but please don't delete it,thanks. Miroa12004 (talk) 08:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. That could probably be trimmed down quite a bit. Hazardous Matt 17:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That could be trimmed down a lot! It's a nice job, but 4 paragraphs for one match (HBK vs. Batista) is a little excessive, considering that there's usually only one. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 19:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And I hate to harp on this, but we need to steer away from comments like "Adamle is gold" for the sake of NPOV Hazardous Matt 19:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the event section be under the report section, not outside it? ^{-GuffasBorgz7-} 09:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did a few quick Google searches and the Events seems to be play-by-play from a variety of sites, but word-for-word for each match. I'm assuming we have some sort of guideline or policy against that. Hazardous Matt 13:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't look further due to work-related restrictions, but here are the websites where the results turned up:

If they're taken word-for-word from these locations, we'd need to at least source them, correct? Hazardous Matt 13:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Preferably we would alter the wording to avoid plagiarism and then source it. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 16:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Modified Chicken Wing"

Wondered if anyone would change "Modified Chicken Wing" to the Glam Slam, since that is what her finisher is called. 96.227.50.211 (talk) 18:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The "Glam Slam" is a Wheelbarrow facebuster followed into a modified chickenwing stretch. She didn't precede the chickenwing with a wheelbarrow suplex, so it wasn't the glam slam. A submission alone is not a slam. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 18:49, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thought she did do the wheelbarrow suplex, my mistake. 96.227.50.211 (talk) 19:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who is working on this article?

Is anyone working on this article? Like to take it to GA or something or is it orphaned.--WillC 23:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There doesn't seem to be any indication that someone is currently working on it. It probably will eventually, you have to remember that there are a lot of wrestling articles and only a limited number of editors to work on them. You are free to work on any article you want of coarse (wrestling or non-wrestling). TJ Spyke 14:57, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to know so I can update the PPV expansion list at WP:PW.--WillC 01:31, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
