Sorry for removing your second comment, but it would have been meaningless without the troll comment it was in response to, and the troll comment had to be removed. —Steve Summit (talk) 01:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

According to the CD album that came with The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie when the dvd first came out the song was titled "Hardcore Wrestlers with Inner Feelings," I am 100% shore on that. I know Nat Wolff is not the producer of the new debut album I wrote "Producer (Music Score)" meaning he contributed the music score and Michael Wolff and Michael A. Levigne are The Music Supervisors of the show. I fixed up the song list by adding, because for some reason they were missing, check out the album on The iTunes store it has it on the album "Long Distance" and "Catch Up With The End."
I fixed it up on the aritical, because it did not look neat, so I made it look better, I don't know why you reverted it back origanally. --AnnieTigerChucky04:16, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to the inaugural edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! I hope this will be a good source of news to those people interested in what's happening around our pro wrestlimg community. I plan to release it every Sunday.
This newsletter will just be a way to get the community announcements to people who don't have the time to check the mesageboards, as well that to those just curious about the news. The newsleter will consist of a project news section (to do with what's happening on Wikipedia), and a current events section (relating to news in the "real world"). The newslette will also contain the Collaboration of the Week announcement.
That's all. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please post them at this talk page.
a)The only problem is reliable sources only talk about the film or both the film and TV series and I added reliable sources on The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie and both the TV series and film have very similar plots and The Background/Production is exactly the same and I cant add the same thing on two different articles. The episode list explains about every episode. How would this problem be resolved?
b)Maybe the The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie should be renamed to "The Naked Brothers Band film/series" and just start explaining about the film and then the show? AnnieTigerChucky (talk) 21:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to the second issue of the WP:PW newsletter. We apologize for the delay. There was an issue regarding the delivery process.
Anyways, we had a lot of good feedback for the last newsletter. We not only received feedback at the newsletter's talk page, but I also received some messages on my talk page as well. Thank you to those who responded. The only complaint we received was about typos, and we will try our best to keep the newsletter error-free.
Please continue to offer feedback and new ideas for the next issue. The more we have, the more we'll know how to improve the newsletter. Again, thanks!

Several wrestling news sites report that former Total Nonstop Action Wrestling stars Ron Killings and Chris Harris have been in talks with WWE. In addition The Big Show is said to be returning as well. Be on the look out for unsourced claims of these signing being added to their respective articles as well as the WWE Roster article.

Ron Killings and The Big Show are still being reported as to having signed WWE contracts. As there is no reliable source for anything of the sort, be prepared for their names to be continually added to the WWE Roster article and information about their returns being added to their own articles. There is also apparently an audio interview with Killings where he states he will be returning to WWE with his old K-Kwik gimmick.
Bobby Lashley is being reported to have been released by WWE. His profile has been removed from WWE.com. But again, there is no reliable source for his release, so be prepared to revert his removal from the roster article and edits to his own article.
*The number of stub articles increased this week, but a large jump in the number of total articles means that the percentage of stub articles still dropped from 21.63% to 21.51%. Please check out the stub article subpage to see what you can help with (even if you can only add a reference or two).

Michaels, and the whole WWE roster came out later to thank him as well.

Also, lastly I'd like to thank Misza13, for sending the newsletter out for us, though his bot. His bot has to be the most important part of the process, because without it, the newsletter would not get sent to project members.
I know that's a long list, but they all deserve recognition for their hard work towards the newsletter. So again, thank you to that list of people, and thank you to all of the newsletter's biweekly readers.

Hi User:Josborne2382,
In November 2007 (the night before Thanksgiving) we've talked on my talk page about fixing up The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie article and about a month ago, it got a WP:GAN, and am working my way up to WP:FAC. User:JamieS93, User:YellowMonkey, and User:Steve have helped by copyediting, and Steve is presently helping me by giving me suggestions for featured article class.
Why don't you take a look at it, so you could suggest some recommendations.
Also, Steve and I have been looking through Metacritic and couldn't find a film reception. Rottentomatoes, has the film listed WITHOUT ONE review or reception.
Also, my old user name was User:AnnieTigerChucky, but was changed.
