Page locked

edit

The page is now locked for 96 hours due to the constant back and forth on the page. [1] very clearly states its AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura. [2] clearly states Alexa Bliss or Charlotte Flair will face Asuka. Champions are always subject to change, just like they did leading up to Survivor Series (2017). Therefore I ask CrickleBoy or Soap Price to provide a source that TBA makes more sense than the announced participants. - GalatzTalk 19:45, 29 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

There is a mistake that needs to be fixed. For the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal competitors, Kurt Angle is in the list yet that hasn't been announced in any media form Danlfc99 (talk) 17:56, 6 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

There needs to be a third match added to the match card as of today - On the most recent edition of 205 Live, new GM Drake Maverick, formerly known as Rockstar Spud, announced a 16 man elimination tournament to crown a new WWE Cruiserweight Champion, which he said would culminate with the tournament final at Wrestlemania 34 Mrbbx33 (talk) 15:25, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

TBDs ?

edit

Whats up with the tbds The reaper of lost souls (talk) 22:13, 4 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

The TBDs are self explanatory. "To be determined" as no one knows who will be the champions going in to WrestleMania, or who the cruiserweight tournament finalists will be, or who will face Brock Lesar. We cannot replace the TBDs until WWE officially confirm the participants in those matches. Once Elimination Chamber and Fastlane are over, then we will have an idea of who the TBDs will be. On this site, we cannot base anything on rumours or speculation. Facts only and confirmation by WWE.

Match speculation

edit

Matches and participants in matches must not be included unless a reliable source can be provided. This includes matches involving championships, where it is believed the current champion will be defending. Inclusion of any speculated or believed matches is a violation of WP:CRYSTALBALL. This includes Brock Lesnar as the Universal Champion, and Aj Styles and the WWE Champion, even after the Fastlane PPV. It must be confirmed with reliable sources after the final PPV's before Wrestlemania have taken place, who the participants in the matches are and what the match types are. Inclusion of speculation will be removed, and editors adding such content and re-adding such content in a way which is edit warring will be reported to the appropriate noticeboards. This may also lead to the page being protected from editing for a period of time. Sport and politics (talk) 12:38, 15 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

You are incorrect. You say It must be confirmed with reliable sources after the final PPV's before Wrestlemania is just plain laughable. What about title changes on Raw or SmackDown? What about title changes at house shows like what happened last year with AJ Styles. Based on your logic, until the day of the PPV all title match must say TBD. If it is officially billed as something it is not WP:CRYSTAL. - GalatzTalk 12:41, 15 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
The issue is it is not officially billed. There is nothing yet officially billed for Wrestlemania other than the final of the Crusierweight tournament taking place at the event and the two Royal Rumble winners receiving title shots. I welcome the presentation of sources which are reliable and confirm the Wrestlemania card. Without that it is pure crystal balling. Sport and politics (talk) 13:05, 15 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yes it is. When the WWE officially announced the elimination chamber match, they said the winner will face Brock Lesnar. See so for yourself [5]. Just like how they are officially billing AJ Styles [6]. - GalatzTalk 15:39, 15 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Although that's probably true, as a lot of sources are reporting it, and that seems to be the direction their headed with the recent segments, we can't add it until it's official. All we can add is that Rousey will have a match as that's all that's been confirmed. --JDC808 07:57, 3 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Mixed tag team match could happen but it won't involve The Rock at all, because of his status as a part-timer. Kurt Angle, however... Nickag989talk 13:55, 4 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Not so much his status as a part-timer, but rather insurance issues with film production companies. If it weren't for that, he would have probably done the match. Regardless, we now know the match is Angle/Rousey vs. HHH/Stephanie. Also, Im A Person 42, if the rumors do in fact happen, then we add it. Pretty simple. However, we don't add rumors until they actually happen, if they even do happen. In this case, it did not happen. If we can get verifiable sources on why The Rock could not do the match, we can add that to the background section similar to Big Show vs. Shaq at WrestleMania 33. --JDC808 05:09, 6 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus) (c) vs. Braun Strowman for WWE RAW Tag Team Championship

edit

As you notice during RAW Taping, Braun Strowman said "HES" (not "WE") entering the Raw Battle Royal and win it for a shot for the RAW Tag Team Championship at Wretlemania 34 . So it will remain The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus) vs Braun Strowman (Not Cesaro and Sheamus) vs Braun Strowman and TBA or TBD Table should be like there *RAW Tag Team Championship

🥇BUS rider2015 (talk) 21:30, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

No such tag team title match appears on the Wrestlemania page on WWE.com nor has a match been scheduled. All we have is the events of the most recent RAW: The bar asked for a decision on their opponents, Kurt Angle scheduled a tag team battle royal. Then Braun inserted himself into that match and came out on top. But as the ending of Raw suggests, there are many questions unanswered: could Braun actually participate in that match? If so, can he by his unconventional win earn a tag team title shot? (Or will he simply get another match at WM34?) If he gets the title shot, can he go it alone or does he have to take a partner? It is up for WWE - in kayfabe: Raw's commissioner or GM - to decide that, not for us to proclaim what we think is the answer.
To place a "TBA" on the match type is silly. If that pairing were to stand, it would obviously be a handicap match. But everything about that whole match is "TBD".Str1977 (talk) 00:12, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
The battle royal was to determine who would face Cesaro and Sheamus for the titles at WrestleMania. Strowman won said battle royal. That in turn means he's the number one contender by the stipulation of the match. Of course there are many unanswered questions, but the fact is, Strowman won the battle royal to determine the number one contender(s) for the Raw Tag Team Championship. That's what we know and it is sourced. TBA or TBD, regardless of what term is used, one should be used as we don't know what the match itself will be. What we do know is that Cesaro and Sheamus are defending the titles. We can't just remove Strowman because he might get removed as you implied. That would be speculation and even WP:OR. What is there is what has been presented to us. Come Monday's Raw, we should be getting the answers. --JDC808 03:02, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Simple question: where is the source for a Cesaro & Sheamus vs. Braun Strowman match? You haven't provided one hence the entire match should be struck.
All we have, all you say, is that a TAG TEAM battle royal was scheduled to provide a challenger for The Bar (NB: no word of a number-one contender) and that Braun won that battle royal. That he won it is a bit more official as the bell rung after Braun eliminated Carl Anderson and Braun was declared the winner. Braun also shouted "I'm going to Wrestlemania!" But if you watch the minutes of Raw, you will hear no confirmation that he will face The Bar, either alone or with a partner. What you will are a lot of questions like "no one man can challenge for the tag team titles" and "is this even legal" and "Kurt Angle has some work to do".
That means: a decision about which opponent The Bar will have, which match Braun will have is still out there "TBD", not just the "match type". If what you present as clear-cut actually were clear, the match type would clear too. It would be a handicap match.
Hence, I'm removing the entire match from the card. And since you voiced no specific concerns for my avoiding your 20 occurences of "announce" I'm reverting that too. Str1977 (talk) 13:30, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Let's take an example from wrestling history to illustrate my point: In 1994, the Royal Rumble was secheduled with the winner receiving a title shot at Wrestlemania X. The Rumble was controversially won by Bret Hart and Lex Luger collectively. Now, a fictional 1994-JDC808 edits a fictional 1994 Wikipedia article to say that Yokozuna will defend his title against Bret and Lex and only the match type is unclear. (Maybe, if triple threats had been invented back then he would have claimed that it would be a triple threat match.) And his edit would have been unfounded. He would have had to wait until Jack Tunney made decision to have two title matches, to have a coin toss to decide the sequence. So in 2018 you should wait for the decision by Kurt "Tunney" Angle. Str1977 (talk) 13:43, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
One more thing, in principle, and regarding this specific case: Can't we just wait until we have official confirmation? It's Sunday and tomorrow's Raw will undoubtedly shed further light on the consequences of the battle royal. Waiting these few more hours is not too hard for you, I hope! Str1977 (talk) 13:37, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply


@Str1977:@JDC808: The match going still happen according Dave Meltzer, its going be The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus) vs Braun Strowman (or Braun Strowman and a Partner). So it be better to just leave as The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus) vs TBD and Notes TBA Match for WWE Raw Tag Team Championship. Also recent Raw Show confirms. 🥇BUS rider2015 (talk) 20:35, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

A battle royal to determine who faces Cesaro and Sheamus is the same thing as determining the number one contender. You're really getting caught up on the term "number one contender" here. Braun winning that battle royal is sourced. Once again, that is why the match type was TBA. We don't know what their decision will be. I'm just repeating myself here, but again, what we do know is Cesaro and Sheamus are defending the titles and Strowman won the battle royal to determine their challenger at WrestleMania. That little example would have been a completely different case. And 20 occurrences of announced? Okay, that can be fixed without removing the information you did (like informing readers who Dave Maverick was before coming to WWE). --JDC808 20:46, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
The term "number one contender" is just a side issue but I do think it shouldn't be used here unless it is used on WWE shows (where they already use it more often than necessary). "what we do know is Cesaro and Sheamus are defending the titles and Strowman won the battle royal to determine their challenger at WrestleMania." Yes, that's what we know. We don't know what WWE will make of that. Regretfully, I think that it will be probably one of Busrider's alternatives. But neither what he, or I or you think will happen matters to the article.
This is the article on Wrestlemania 34 and should contain only the information relevant to that event, not everything that happend on WWE shows or might be noteworthy on them. And I don't think "who Dave Maverick was before coming to WWE" is relevant to the Wrestlemania 34 article. His article is linked however. That's enough.

Opponent is not so much unclear as the match is. More editors agree, or are fine with having it as it is right now (if they weren't, they'd change it or chime in here). Only one person has tried to change it, which was Str1977, but he's been reverted by more than one editor. --JDC808 06:08, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Everything is unclear right now. Just wait the few hours until things are cleared up.
It might be useless, but let me spelled it out for you again: it is unclear if Braun will face The Bar; if he does, it is unclear if he will do it alone or with a yet-to-be-chosen partner. (There's even the possibility that the battle royal win will be revoked.) You keep on posting your speculations as if they were facts.
And your version is also illogical: if the pairing were confirmed then the match type wouldn't be unclear or TBD. Str1977 (talk) 09:54, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
PS. It is also an issue of sourcing. This supposed match is the only one that has no reference pointing to the WWE page; the source referenced doesn't include any definite answer. Whatever happened to the principle, stated by someone not so long ago, that "we can't add it until it's official". Str1977 (talk) 09:59, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
In regards to "we can't add it until it's official", that's already been explained, but for TL;DR, Cesaro and Sheamus were confirmed to have a match at WM by way of the battle royal, which Strowman won, and why the match type said TBA. Regardless now, Angle has announced that Strowman is getting the match as long as he finds a partner. --JDC808 23:29, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
At the risk of beating a dead horse, the subsequent decision shows exactly that it was not merely the match type that was unclear. If Strowman would have been allowed to challenge alone (as your preferred pairing implied), it would have ipso facto been a handicap match (hence: the pairing was unclear, not just the match type), but if - as it turned out to be - he was forced to choose a partner, your preferred pairing (The Bar vs. Strowman) would have been wrong. It was always the pairing that was unclear - the match type was merely a consequence of this.
Waiting for official sources - which you haven't followed on this - has the advantage that we won't post such wrong pairings. Str1977 (talk) 02:55, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

@BusriderSF2015: Why do you feel a need to post an entire chart to get this point across? It does nothing but fill up space. Additionally you have been told before that Dave Meltzer is not a WP:RS so he can say whatever he wants, but it does not belong on WP. As for the match we have no confirmation that Braun will even be in the match. He entered himself into the tournament. Assuming he was not officially allowed in the tournament, whoever he eliminated last technically gets the title shot. They could also decide to just redo the entire thing tonight similar to when Carmela won MITB. There are too many variables to know what is going to happen. Until there is a RS that discusses it, there is no confirmation a match is happening and therefore it should not be included. - GalatzTalk 17:44, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

The Table is fully necessary to show demonstration . :@Galatz: Carmela is not in the Raw Tag Team Championship Match nor her Money in the Bank Briefcase. Dave Meltzer or not, The proof already there by watching last RAW Its follows whoever wins the WWE Raw Tag Team Chanpionship #1 Contender Battle Royal will be facing The Bar for the Raw Tag Championships. Strowman enter himself in and he won...ring announcer announces him winning the #1 Contender match.

So it best to edit the tables as these options are correct...as optional edits.

You really aren't very smart are you? You say I don't have the details, and then send a link that specifically backs up exactly what I said. Your "source" states Even though he doesn’t have a tag team partner, Braun Strowman shockingly won the Tag Team Battle Royal this past Monday night, meaning that he technically earned the right to challenge Cesaro & Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans. However, given the fact that The Monster Among Men is a solo Superstar, and since he originally wasn’t scheduled to compete in the over-the-top-rope bout, the victory comes with no small amount of controversy. Now I again ask, do you have anything that backs up what you claim, since you just supported my stance. - GalatzTalk 19:44, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

It is what it is. Additionally wait for the upcoming raw to further support my details. Peace i am out or else i bring WikiLeon or NeilN to address this again. 🥇BUS rider2015 (talk) . 19:46, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Let me get this straight, you think that because you want something in the article that you believe will be announced tonight, but has not been announced, you want to bring an admin in? What exactly do you expect to accomplish? I asked you for a source and you either mention a person who is proven to be unreliable and not a WP:RS, as you can see at WP:PW/RS or you provide something that supports what I said, that nothing is confirmed. What exactly do you expect WikiLeon or NeilN to do? Do you think that an admin is going to say "Well because he is so confident it will happen tonight its fine to put it in the article"? Anything that is not supported by a WP:RS especially something like what you want, which is WP:CRYSTAL, does not belong on wikipedia, plain and simple. - GalatzTalk 19:56, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

@BusriderSF2015: Can you please learn how to format your responses in discussions? It is very hard to read through this thread following Galatz response at 17:44, 19 March 2018 (UTC) because you don't know how to indent your responses. Also, don't make a subsection that says "complete", "resolved", "not done", etc., until there's an actual consensus. You alone are not the one who decides if a consensus has been met. That is decided by everyone involved in the discussion. Also, mentioned it above, but Angle has announced that Strowman will get the tag title match as long as he finds a partner. --JDC808 23:29, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

let just see what happens 🥇BUSriderSF2015 (talkcontribs) l 01:29, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
@BusriderSF2015: just because your edits are questioned, that doesn't mean you have to stop contributing. @Galatz: It has been confirmed. Angle announced that Braun would get the match if he found a partner. Braun said he didn't need one, but he would find one. WWE has listed it as a match. --JDC808 02:24, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
@JDC808: It has been confirmed, but with a condition. What if that condition is not met? Then we do not have a match, do we? Unless that answer is confirmed then there is no confirmation of the match. The source given in the article clearly states The Monster Among Men will challenge The Bar for their titles at The Show of Shows, under one condition. - GalatzTalk 13:42, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
And Strowman said he would have a partner. --JDC808 21:04, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
So? John Cena said he would win the WWE Champinship at Fastlane. Just because he said he will have it, it doesn't mean he will. Perhaps the story line is that since he has been causing so much distribution he is unable to get a partner causing him to create more damage like when he was removed from the Universal Title match. - GalatzTalk 21:45, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

WWE have confirmed the match, which is sourced. If something happens and this particular match-up doesn't happen, then so be it, but saying it might not happen, essentially a "what if" scenario, is basically WP:CRYSTAL. Perhaps you are right, but at this moment, we have nothing to confirm your "what if" scenario. --JDC808 22:13, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

If that was the case why does the source say it is not confirmed. Provide a source that says it happens no matter what. You can't because they don't exist. That is why including it is WP:CRYSTAL because including it assumes the match will occur, while not including it is based on the fact that he has not met the conditions. Its not WP:CRYSTAL because it current available information only. - GalatzTalk 13:09, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Please refer to this response by Str1977. It's more CRYSTAL to say that the match might not happen. Your bases is a complete "what if" scenario. WWE have listed the match for the event. If your "what if" scenario comes true and WWE delists the match, then we delist it too. --JDC808 00:51, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
So your source that the match is confirmed is another talk page comment on wikipedia? You cannot produce a source that says the match is 100% happening for a reason. - GalatzTalk 01:22, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
That wasn't a source and was not even meant to be. His comment said all that was needed to be said, but that obviously was not enough for you. You know, I really don't understand you. You're all about RS's (which isn't a bad thing), but the RS here has listed the match and you're against it because of a "what if" scenario that you cannot prove. By your logic, there's not a way to actually say any of these matches are 100% happening, so I guess we should just remove them all because there are a whole bunch of "what if" scenarios that could keep any of these matches from happening. --JDC808 06:29, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
But thats the thing, READ THE SOURCE. The source clearly states its conditional. Watch the video included in the source, Kurt Angel says he must meet one condition in order to get the match. It does not say its a lock. The article is using a source that says it isnt confirmed to say the match is confirmed! - GalatzTalk 12:29, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I have read the source, but that does not take away from the fact that WWE has listed the match for the event, something that you can't seem to grasp. --JDC808 22:36, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
But their "listing" links to the article that says its conditional. I again ask you to provide a source that says its confirmed. But yet you continue to not because you cannot. - GalatzTalk 00:55, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
What do you not understand about WWE listing the match and promoting it for the event? You're getting yourself way too caught up on this "conditional" issue because of a CRYSTAL "what if" scenario that there's just no point in arguing this anymore. Everyone else agrees that the match should be listed for the reasons I've stated. --JDC808 01:10, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I suggest you go read what you are referencing. It states "Articles that present original research in the form of extrapolation, speculation, and "future history" are inappropriate." That sounds EXACTLY what you are doing. Please show me what from there is what I am doing? I am looking at the current facts, something you have been unable to dispute, that all conditions for the match have no occurred. Assuming they will be is WP:CRYSTAL, plain and simple. - GalatzTalk 01:20, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
But it's not original research. Your "what if" scenario on the other hand is. What is presented in the article is based on the information we have from the RS. We can't present anymore than that, nor can we present a hypothetical "what if" scenario. --JDC808 02:57, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
No, the source supports there are other options. If it says he has to meet certain conditions, then the source says there is a chance it wont happen. It involves no OR or anything else. Including it in the article misleads the reader into thinking the match has no conditions and will 100% happen no matter what. - GalatzTalk 13:09, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
That's why in the paragraph about this match on this article, it says that he has to find a partner, to which Strowman responded that he would. --JDC808 02:16, 24 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Because thus far the match, if has been scheduled by now, is lacking an official source that confirms this. Speaking in kayfabe terms: simply "invoking the rematch clause" doesn't make the match.

Placeholders for number of wrestlers

edit

Somebody put "TBA/D men/women" before the match type of the battle royals. While it was at first totally unclear what these placeholders were supposed to mean, I have since realised that they are meant to stand for the numbers of competitors in each match. I personally think that is completely unnecessary - we can add the numbers once we know but it doesn't hurt to not indicate these unknown numbers. But if we put in placeholders, it should be clear to everyone what they mean. Hence I added "number".

Any other opinions on whether we need the placeholders here? Str1977 (talk) 01:30, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Various issus

edit

While it is true that Cena is a free agent, it is not necessary to point that out every time. Cena played a minor role in various storylines and he could only appear in all these because he's a free agant. But it's not relevant to any storyline but his own. We do not add RAW-wrestler or SD-wrestler to all the other wrestlers. Str1977 (talk) 02:29, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

How is Orton's Grand Slam Championship - a pretty diluted and strange assortment - relevant to his WM freud or match? Str1977 (talk) 02:38, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Let me restate another thing: "appeared/came out and attacked" is unnecessary wordy. If someone attacks, it is understood that he somehow got there. And if the sentence said that Cena called out Taker and Kane then attacked, it is more than clear that Kane (who was never mentioned before) attacked in response. We do not have to spell out everything for the reader. Str1977 (talk) 02:43, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Raw/SmackDown wrestlers are understood by way of the title and show mentioned in the paragraph. Cena on the other hand is a different case. Lesnar vs Reigns over the Universal Championship is Raw; Cena was part of the chamber match at their Elimination Chamber PPV. Styles vs Nakamura over the WWE Championship is SmackDown; Cena was part of the six-pack challenge at their Fastlane PPV. An uninformed reader isn't going to know why Cena was able to be in both (without reading the Cena/Undertaker match description, which is still hidden, but after it's unhidden, it will be after these two paragraphs anyways). Putting "free agent" clarifies that.
It was another accomplishment that he attained in winning the U.S. title. I see no harm in adding it, especially since this match probably won't have much more added to its description.
Although true, the way it was presented just sounded very odd. I have changed it to say "As Cena urged Undertaker to come out, he instead got Undertaker's (kayfabe) brother Kane, who attacked Cena with a chokeslam." --JDC808 02:55, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I think all these "free agents" are unnecessary but they don't take up much space either.
Orton's obscure achievement however really distracts from the actual storyline. Str1977 (talk) 11:35, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

You didn't mention it here, but to clarify Charlotte Flair, using her last name kept it consistent with everyone else (except the McMahons, which is intentional because there's more than one). --JDC808 02:59, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I forgot. I'm all for consistency, only of a different kind. The female wrestlers are much more commonly referred to by their first names, even the ones that have a last name (or aquired one). And if you allow an exception for the McMahons, you cannot then insist on using family names only for others. Str1977 (talk) 11:35, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Disagreement

edit

WP:PW/PPVG not valid during Wrestlemania.

@Str1977:@Galatz: Wrestlemania is WWE Biggest event every year, so it more like have details over 2500 words or even 5000 words anyways.

I'm not as insistent on an actual word count but the section is nevertheless taking verbosity to new levels. And no, there is no Wrestlemania exception. Str1977 (talk) 20:43, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'm actually in agreeance with Busrider here. Unlike the B-level PPVS (and even the other three of the Big Four), which generally only have about a months worth of story going into them (some do have more), WrestleMania on the other hand has up to a year or more. And some people like to take these guidelines as the gospel. They're not. They're guidelines, not set-in-stone rules. Because they're guidelines, yes, exceptions can be made. If I remember correctly from that somewhat recent discussion, other editors agreed that WrestleMania would go beyond the "recommended" limit because of what I just mentioned. --JDC808 23:45, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

In that case, your recent revert took the focus off of the bigger ones. --JDC808 01:34, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Even after removal of information it was still 1,800 words but good try. We don't need every single piece of anything having to do with the wrestlers. We can just say they faught over multiple months without listing each match and every person in the match. We don't need to know that Brock with without an opponent because Shin chose AJ, thats obvious. Your revert adds back useless information that absolutely doesn't belong no matter how long the section should be. So if you are going to add anything back, WP:BABY applies and it needs to have good reason to be added back, otherwise you are adding useless information for the sake of just reverting. - GalatzTalk 01:47, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
That's the thing though, every single bit of information, like you make it out to be, is not there. As I said in my recent edit summary, it appears that you didn't even read what I did in my last revision and just assumed I added everything back before this "Storyline issues" discussion began. You brought up the point of Brock not having an opponent and called it "obvious". Is it really obvious to someone who doesn't know how Brock's contract works? No. They may assume that he wrestles at every PPV, but that's not the case. It also provides a better transition and is more engaging than a cut-and-dry "this match happened, then this one." What I added back in the recent revision encompass more than what happened in the past month because they go beyond that. And if you had actually read what I had done, I made very small changes here and there to everything else that had gotten trimmed back. I made three "big" add backs (as a couple of them go back further than the past month), and a fourth that provided a little more insight into the feud. Everything else was practically minor and mainly clarity (i.e., it wasn't even mentioned what tag titles Cesaro and Sheamus have, and speaking of that particular paragraph, your revert made the very first sentence of it an incomplete sentence, and that's among some other mistakes that your revert restored). --JDC808 06:07, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Shin chosing to face AJ has absolutely nothing to do with Brock not having a match. He didn't have a match at Elimination Chamber but we don't go into detail as to why he didn't, why do we need to go into it here? Why cant it just say "Kurt Angel said whoever wins the Elimination Chamber match faces Brock at WM". Done, simple and accurate. We don't need a paragraph of other stuff. - GalatzTalk 12:33, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Do you not know how the Royal Rumble works? Shin choosing AJ is exactly why they had the Elimination Chamber match, and it was mentioned that Kurt scheduled it to determine Brock's opponent, but that got trimmed down. --JDC808 22:34, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
But we go into who he chose in the section for the WWE Championship match. If the two paragraphs were reversed it would be obvious. Its absolutely retarded to go into who won the Royal Rumble and what he chose to do two paragraphs in a row. - GalatzTalk 00:56, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

It's not true that WM deserves special treatment because storylines develop over longer time. A feud culminating at a B-level PPV does not start only after the preceding PPV - they quite often span longer periods of time and transcend individual PPVs. The issue is always the same: the storyline section should cover what the reader needs to understand the feud. It should NOT cover every match or every event in the feud. WM might be special because in recent years it has become absurdly longish and includes more matches and more wrestlers, hence potentially involving more storylines. But that's the challenge for us: to include everything that's needed and still stay within a resonable size. It's about chosing the right information and it's about condensing it. That's not always easy but the first step is omitting all the unncessary things: unnecessary because they are not needed to understand the storyline or unnecessary because they contain no information at all. Str1977 (talk) 11:42, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

PS. What we definitely do not need is statements that "there were no special stipulations", that a tournament started "promptly", that Brock's victories were "decisive" (which also paints a wrong picture of his title reign) or phrases like "issued a challenge". Str1977 (talk) 12:13, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
To clarify, "there were no special stipulations" is so readers know she isn't getting special treatment, such as Brock. Not sure how saying his defenses were decisive paints a wrong picture of his reign. He's been undefeated since he won the title. Sure, he doesn't wrestle often, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he's retained his title in every defense and all were by pinfall (hence using the word decisive). As to "A feud culminating at a B-level PPV does not start only after the preceding PPV", reread what I said in regards to this (I said generally are only a month's build, though some are more). --JDC808 22:34, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Given we have to cover a lot of storyline in a limited space of article, we have to trim somewhere. And explanations that everything is normal with Ronda Rousey are the first things to go.
As for Brock: we do NOT need to characterise his title defenses at all. You might think his reign impressive but others disagree.
Your objection to my observation about feuds doesn't change the validity of what I wrote. Str1977 (talk) 12:49, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Disagree that that has to be the "first to go". My opinion of his reign had no bearing on the inclusion of the statement, merely a statement of fact. And what exactly are you referring in your last point? --JDC808 18:29, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
My last point referred to your "As to "A feud culminating at a B-level PPV does not start only after the preceding PPV", reread what I said in regards to this (I said generally are only a month's build, though some are more)." - It really makes no difference if you retricted your statement to "generally" as I was arguing gainst your point that WM somehow gets special rules because storylines extend longer.

Since no one has proposed an AfD, its safe to assume the article will stay. Even if it was nominated, I believe an merge or redirect would be the end result. There really is not a need to include the same information in both places, as long as we link to it. We could at the very least include much less info here. - GalatzTalk 14:05, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Well, 100px was way too small for the image, and the caption is a brief summary of Bryan's situation; gives context to why we're actually including an image of him here. Also, there's still the Cena/Undertaker paragraph to add (it's currently hidden, but come Monday's Raw, it will probably be confirmed). Even if that match doesn't happen, there's a whole other section that's gonna be added before that table, the Event section which will talk about how each match went on the show. That in itself will fix the image issue you're having. Granted, that section won't be added until the night of WM34, but you won't have this issue for too long. --JDC808 05:04, 30 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Because the Lesnar-Reigns storyline is the first storyline mentioned, Kurt Angle should be linked in that section. It currently reads "That episode, Reigns appeared, despite his suspension, to confront Lesnar, so Angle had him handcuffed by U.S. Marshals" but it should say "Raw General Manager Kurt Angle had him handcuffed" because if people are reading this article, if it just says Angle, it is not clear who the article is referring to. Also Seth Rollins needs to be linked in his section about the storyline with Miz and Balor as he hasn't been yet. Part of this is because Seth was mentioned in the Lesnar-Reigns section but has since been removed, therefore he needs to be linked as he is now been mentioned for the first time. 2A02:C7D:2588:7000:791C:AFF:EFAC:D999 (talk) 23:02, 30 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Background of WrestleMania

I'm not a fan of the guy but was it neccesary to write all that negativity about Roman Reigns on the background section? It's too childish to take your hate on the guy on a Wikipedia article to lead everybody to feel the same way as you. Be responsible with the information and keep your feelings and opinions to yourself. Just write a professional article.

Hello folks I apologize if I offended the writer of the article, it was not correct from me to talk like that. But I still see this article, even if it is presented in a professional manner, intentionally leading the readers to hate on the wrestler Roman Reigns. The whole comment is negative to the person and it should be presented on a different way. Also I agree that if that is such a big deal like JTP said it should be mentioned, that's true, but it should be presented maybe on story lines, and not as the background of the event itself. The background should be all about the Event and not about an individual or a match. Just my opinion and thank you for your observations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.73.243.114 (talk) 19:48, 5 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

I completely agree. I am tired of seeing hate on Roman Reigns on every article where he's even mentioned. It has literally nothing to do with the background of WrestleMania 34. How is Reigns being voted most hated wrestler even somewhat relevant? I'll answer, it's not. It's childish hate and a large portion of it is completely based around rumors and whatever Dave Meltzer says. There is absolutely no need to talk about how people hate Roman in the background section of this page. None whatsoever. Yet, the majority of people despise Reigns so it will probably stay. Because of course it will... Goku4Star (talk) 22:38, 5 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
I removed that irrelevant bullshit. It belongs at the article criticizing Roman Reigns and on the Reigns article itself. The only part of it that belongs is the fact that Meltzer reported the long term plans of using Reigns to go over Lesnar, which I kept. The rest is totally irrelevant non-background. This article, and specifically that section are to discuss the plans for WrestleMania 34 and events leading up to it and not some garbage about how since 2014 he's been booed. I don't care how professionally it was presented or how relevant some sect of wrestling fans think of its importance. The reality is that most of that had nothing to do with the background of this event and it belongs on its relevant article. — Moe Epsilon 10:01, 6 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I also think that background section is not doing justice with the main event of wrestlemania 34.

That source is accurate. The Wikipedia Minor BLP Policy is already followed, because i only used John Cone Son, and there no last name display nothing else. Its more likely to be his a Ring Name or Nickname, so identification of the Celebrity Referee Son (a Minor) is more likely around the internet since he went on TV WWE (a Popular Company and Well Known Company) 🥇BUSriderSFUser (talkcontribs) 08:40, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

I understand, I am only concerned with other editors potentially adding incorrect information (hence why this section was started), and was not accusing you of anything. Related articles such as the tag team title articles and champions articles are now getting edits adding incorrect last names and no sources which need to be monitored and reverted. For now, leaving it as just "Nicholas" without any other identifying last name or such is fine unless that becomes public knowledge backed with reliable sources. It's just that Twitter and anything considered by WP:PW as unreliable won't do for identification. Please go over WP:PW/RS to see which sources we consider reliable for adding any other names other than just "Nicholas". Also, with the digital age, there are also people who may know this child and attempt to add his information as well. It's just a sensitive situation that needs to be handled with care. By the way, make use of the preview button please, I've been trying to talk to you for some time now. — Moe Epsilon 08:57, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yup that why i put very vague info when it comes to a minor, but evenutlly more deeper info going be public knowledge cause his Referee is basically a celbright?
That is not always the case. We may never hear of Nicholas again after tomorrow night's Raw. There's no real way to tell. If WWE identify him as Cone's son then that's fine, but that doesn't mean he's now a celebrity or that we need to identify him by his real name (whether his real name is Nicholas or not). — Moe Epsilon 09:08, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Users please stop adding word RETIRE RETIRED or RETIREMENT regarding undertaker's career because according to wwe.com he is still listed as current roster but as free agent.

You do not understand the meaning behind the statement clearly. Yes, of course he's still listed on the active roster. No one is talking about the present. No one is saying at this very moment he is retired. It's a statement clarifying that everyone "presumed" he was retired. Please google the word "presumed" if you don't know what it means. It wasn't just the fans either. WWE superstars, management, #ThankYouTaker. Everyone thought he had retired. At WrestleMania 33, not 34, i.e the previous WM. A big part of the John Cena storyline was if he would come out of retirement for a match against Cena. The statement has nothing to do with just Roman Reigns' promo. It is worth a mention.

Asuka's undefeated streak and its detractors

edit

I'd like to question this detracting of Asuka's undefeated streak. Though WWE certainly overpromoted it (as they usually do, which however usually does not stop WP editors from parroting all the promotion language), I don't think that calling her hitherto undefeated is actually wrong. Much is made of two "losses", one in a battle royal [8] in January 2016, another in a fatal fourway [https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/nxt-sebring-fl-live-results-nxt-womens-title-fatal-four-way-2083669 in February. Even if we take both as losses, that is a streak of over two years (February 2016 to April 2018). But IMO not winning a battle royal is not actually a loss nor is not winning a multi-person non-elimination match, unless the person is pinned, countedout, DQed or has submitted. (Note also, that saying "she wasn't submitted" is not grammatically correct English.)

Also note: it is an "undefeated streak", not a winning streak.

If these two non-wins need to be mentioned at all, it should be in a footnote. The whole issue should be absent from the intro. Str1977 (talk) 13:28, 14 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

What do others think? Str1977 (talk) 13:27, 14 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Personally, I don't really see how it's relevant to the reader what her actual win/loss record is Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 17:50, 14 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
When Mr. Perfect lost during his undefeated streak we do mention it on his page Curt Hennig#Undefeated streak (1988–1990), I see nothing wrong with mentioning it similarly on Asuka's page. We don't need that level of detail here though. - GalatzTalk 14:08, 16 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
That's hardly the point here since this is not the Asuka article. We have to note the "streak" (which is indeed understood as "undefeated streak") since it is part of the storyline. We should note the holes is that claim but we mustn't use OR to deny that a streak existed. 14:35, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
It's actually exactly the point. I said it belongs in her article, not here. This article is about the event itself, not the flaws in the story telling. Its valid to include on WP, this just is not the place for it. - GalatzTalk 15:06, 16 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Then I misunderstood you. Thanks for clarifying. Str1977 (talk) 23:00, 16 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Str1977 - you are arguing that Asuka has an undefeated streak of February 2016 to April 2018 (fact based on current info), but what WWE is presenting is that she has been undefeated since she joined in 2015 (false even within storyline/kayfabe). If you want to pick and choose, Cedric Alexander has a TV undefeated streak since December 2017. Brock Lesnar has an undefeated streak since February 2017. But we don't say Cedric and Lesnar have "undefeated streaks". We have a responsibility to readers to present accurate information. We should not, in Wikipedia's voice, merely state she has an undefeated streak without clarifying the time period. The truth is that Asuka's real streak is that she has never been pinned or submitted in WWE. We can frame the information that Charlotte is the first one to submit Asuka in WWE. That is a fact. starship.paint ~ KO 04:30, 18 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'm saying two things:
1. that WWE promoted an "undefeated since arrival" streak and that this undefeated streak (not some other accomplishment like never being pinned, never having submitted or having won every match) played a major role in the feud.
2. that an actual undefeated streak existed. The length of that streak depends on how one views what your counterexamples (which, BTW, are all thus far OR). Of these only the tag team loss (her team lost, though her partner was pinned) constitutes an actual loss for her, not the Battle Royal, not the Fatal Fourway. But I'm not advocating putting this or that opinion into the article but want to keep the article's focus shifting from the event and its relevant storylines to an argument about how long the streak actually was.
The topic is raised in the Asuka article and could also be raised in a footnote in this article. A footnote you first created and then deleted. I restored the footnote but after the discussion with Galatz deleted it again. I would happily restore it IF we can find a good place where to put it.
I'm all for accurate information: hence we have to write that an "undefeated streak" (as per point 1) a focus of the storyline. Your rewordings are not doing this. Your "Asuka's real streak" is both OR (as you are the only one raising that issue) and POV.
Streaks of other wrestlers don't concern the issue as they were not raised in storylines. I'm actually pretty dismissive of streaks in general and thought the Undertaker streak one of the lamest elements of Wrestlemanias a few years back.
Finally, "Charlotte is the first one to submit Asuka in WWE" is not a grammatically correct sentence. Submit to what? Actually, Charlotte made her submit.

There's three kinds of outcomes. Win, lose or draw. If only one person wins a battle royale, the others lose. If one person wins a fatal four way match, the others lose. Reliable sources are clear: Carmella won the battle royale, Bayley won the fatal four way. You're trying to say these aren't actual losses which is weird. You shouldn't use the actual shorter undefeated streak to justify the promoted longer undefeated streak. Wherever the promoted streak is mentioned there should be a footnote to qualify it. Whether in the body or the lede. starship.paint ~ KO 03:22, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
I'm saying that saying that Asuka lost the battle royal would paint a false picture. Actually nobody talks like that, nobody says that 29 wrestlers lost the Rpyal Rumble but that one won it. When you call on Reliable Source, do you have any for your position that Asuka lost that battle royal (not just that Carmella won, but that Asuka lost).
No, I'm not saying that losses are not losses in the article. I'm saying when wording the holes in the streak, we should be careful. And I'm also saying that we still have to relate the items of the storyline, not rephrase them into something that was not talked about.
Suggestion: we restore the footnote as we last had it and restore your linking to every occurence of "undefeated streak" (as you once had it). But we keep the wording "undefeated streak".
Alternative suggestion: we give the explanation from that footnote in the article body, in the storyline section. That has the advantage of not having a footnote but we can then only note the problem in one place.
Would you be content with one of these suggestions? Str1977 (talk) 06:10, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • It is entirely possible to lose in a battle royale as reliable sources have noted: [9] Andre lost in a battle royal / [10] He had never lost a battle royal until one in 1972 / [11] Joe lost a battle royal
  • However in the interests of compromise, the first suggestion can be applied with the following tweak; see my edits. starship.paint ~ KO 00:47, 20 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
I agree that these can be seen as losses but say that they are normally not considered such (again, the tag team match is a different matter).
I was first confused by the formatting of your edit but it appears that it needs to be done like this. However, in the interest of being concise I still prefer the more encompassing wording "came up short in ... and ..." I also don't see that the exact dates are relevant here.

I present another alternative to your review. I shortened the details in the footnote (to just "battle royal on TV and two non-televised multi-person matches") and moved the details (what kind of matches) over to Asuka's article, the relevant section of which I also linked in the footnote.

  • @Str1977: - I find "multi-person match" very vague. It's not standard lingo we would hear from wrestling shows. Plus, the battle royal is also a multi-person match. If I heard "multi-person match" I would be scratching my head, maybe you mean a triple threat but a tag team match wouldn't really come to mind. Versus simply saying "one tag team match and one fatal four way match". The latest date is relevant for the 'real' undefeated streak. starship.paint ~ KO 04:54, 21 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
I agree with naming the date, hence I kept/restored it.
Regarding the vague terminology: indeed "multi-person match" is a rather new term and only appears regarding women. But the equivalent "multi-man match" is heard frequently as an umbrella term for all these triple threats, fatal fourways, sixpack challenges and ninefold nonsense.
However, I don't see that "never heard at a wrestling show" is a good argument. You hear a lot of strange wordings in wrestling, especially WWE, and we do not parrot it (or at least, we shouldn't). But I see your point about being understood. My intention is to refrain from a detailed listing of every match Asuka has "lost". Can you think of another way to avoid this?
That the Battle Royal is also, strictly speaking, a multi-person match, is IMO not a problem as we say "at battle royal on TV and two non-televised multi-person matches. Str1977 (talk) 18:41, 23 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
if there are like five non-TV matches then yeah it would be too much detail. But 2 is not too much. Furthermore you consider a tag match a multi-person match. Which is the problem IMO starship.paint ~ KO 04:25, 25 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
I did not introduce that term to begin with but only used what was already there (at the Asuka article) when I switched between the two articles: more detail there, less detail here. And yes, even if it's only three matches, I consider mentioning every match Asuka "lost" too much detail. What can we do? Str1977 (talk) 15:36, 25 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Results section request on 17 November 2023.

edit

Hello, I was looking at the results section and noticed that the results table wasn't build correctly. So, I fixed it but upon further review I noticed a lot of incorrect information on the page. I noticed non-existant matches being listed on the page and was wondering if we can revert it back to the revision as of 00:14, 18 November 2023 (UTC) by MaterialScientist, as that is the correct version of the table.
