... ~~that Pro Wrestling Illustrated once claimed "Beef Stew" Lou Marconi was one of the most unusual nicknames in professional wrestling?~~
ALT1: ... that according to Pro Wrestling Illustrated the opponents of pro wrestler "Beef Stew" Lou Marconi dubbed his infamous finisher the "Hellfire lariat" because "it takes five years off your life"?

ALT2: ... that pro wrestler "Beef Stew" Lou Marconi has been a regular performer for Deaf Wrestlefest, an annual benefit show for hearing-impaired children, since 2009?

ALT3: ... that "Beef Stew" Lou Marconi returned to pro wrestling at age 32, five years after a career-ending back injury, to become one of the top stars in the National Wrestling Alliance?

Long enough, despite being created on June 2 and nominated on June 13, the page was moved to article space the day before, so it's fine; sources look fine, hooks cited, good to go. My preference would be to go with the original hook. NFL is Awesome 18:31, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

I pulled this hook out of the prep area because the article doesn't actually say that Pro Wrestling Illustrated called his nickname one of the most unusual. I agree that the original hook is far better than the ALT hooks. Could it be revised as below?

ALT4: ... that a Pro Wrestling Illustrated writer called the nickname of "Beef Stew" Lou Marconi his "least favorite ~~nickname~~" in professional wrestling? --Orlady (talk) 13:34, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Avoid repeating the same word in the hook, e.g. "nickname". The Rambling Man (talk) 20:53, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

"ALT5: ... that a Pro Wrestling Illustrated writer called "Beef Stew" his "least favorite nickname" in professional wrestling?" — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:46, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Review of ALTs 4 and 5: Both hooks hooky enough and short enough, and referenced to offline citation #23, taken AGF. Note: Above review is taken on trust and still stands. I have struck original hook, and "nickname" in ALT4 in line with the above comments. --Storye book (talk) 15:34, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
All issues resolved. Good to go with ALT 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. My own preference is for ALT5 because it's short and snappy. --Storye book (talk) 15:34, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
