Tonina Jackson
edit- ... that professional wrestler and actor Tonina Jackson was so popular that he once had a soft drink named after him?

- Comment: Note: for those questioning if the term "Soft Drink" is an appropriate translation I point to Soft drinks#Terminology which states:
In Spanish, they often use the English equivalent of 'refreshment'.
to support the translation of the word "refresco" and the illustration in the source clearly shows what looks like a soda bottle.

| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Article has been expanded well over five times within the appropriate time frame, is long enough, neutral, and free of plagiarism from at least the sources that I can access. QPQ has been done. The hook is cited, based on my far-from-fluent-but-still-workable Spanish, of an appropriate length, and interesting, certain to draw the attention of fans of both wrestling and carbonated beverages. Personally, I think there should be the word "that" between "popular" and "he", but I'm sure grammarians would grind me to the dust for saying that, so I'll leave it as a mere suggestion to improve the flow/readability of the hook. My only actual concern is that the same source is used to cite a DOD of November 2 and November 3, but neither appear to be mentioned in the source itself. Once this has been remedied (either by removing the exact date or citing it), this should be good to go. Canadian Paul 01:41, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- Canadian Paul - Good catch on the source, thank you. I have addressed it and made sure the date is consistently November 2, 1969 - I also caught the fact that in the text I had it look like it was in 68 that he died, not 69 so I clarified. The source is a print magazine but it is uploaded to issuu.com so I could read it Box y Lucha 80 - since it's under copyright I cannot put the link in the source, but I put in a "cite news" source for it. Looking at the sentence I agree, I slit the word "that" in the hook, it does read better. MPJ-DK 02:12, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
