The
editI don't recall this guy ever using the name The Roadblock, in WCW, he was always just Roadblock. Cagematch.net agrees that he never worked as "The Roadblock". 184.15.250.221 (talk) 05:43, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Never really noticed this page was "The Roadblock". Have to agree with above IP User, I don't ever remember "The Roadblock" as his ring name. This being 20+ years ago I could be mistaken. Its possible folks like Dusty Rhodes or Larry Zbyszko referred to him as "The" Roadblock at times but I don't believe it was ever an official ring name and I don't notice a source that states such.

- I moved it a few years back - I assume based on one of the sources I used while copy-editing. The question of the official formatting is an interesting one, e.g. this clip has him announced as "The Road Block" (or "The Roadblock") but the graphic reads "Road Block". From a bit of digging, it looks like "Road Block" was the most common format. Does moving the page to Road Block (wrestler) make the most sense? McPhail (talk) 13:35, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
- Interesting. This video has no ring introductions and spells his name 'Roadblock'. In this video, it's 'Road Block'. Here's another and in this one, he spells it 'Roadblock', and has it spelled as 'ROADBLOCK' on his ring attire. And a fourth has it spelled 'Road Block'. I could keep going, but it seems like WCW used 'Road Block' and 'Roadblock' almost interchangeably.
- All that aside, Cagematch.net and Onlineworldofwrestling.com both have him listed as Roadblock, so IMO the best title to have his article at is Roadblock (wrestler), with Road Block (wrestler) as my second choice. 184.15.250.221 (talk) 02:46, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
- I've raised a move request. McPhail (talk) 21:39, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
