Suspended superstars

we have had this discussion on the wwe roster page that no names shall be listed until wwe offically annouces them or they stop appearing on tv —Preceding unsigned comment added by S-pac54 (talk • contribs) 22:02, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It said on the news that no names have been officially released by the WWE,there is nothing about any names on WWE.com, and The Sun is shit, so delete them please. 24.139.31.210 22:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i went ahead and delated them MATT 00:39, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some WWE big time Superstars like Mr. Kennedy and the recently absent King Booker did get suspended for the believe of them recieving HGH and other Anogolic Steriods. King Booker and Queen Sharmell both quit because Booker thought it was not right that he got suspended for 60 days for a first offence, when the first offence is only 30 days. gameplaya 9:36 18 September 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.198.104.92 (talk) 01:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I care where you read them, but what is the point of posting those rumors here? TJ Spyke 01:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WWE PPV

Can someone add WWe armageddon to "former PPV" in the ppv template, i am unable to.TrUcO9308 00:31, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Who said it was a former pay per view? As far as I know it's taking place in December as usual (December 16) Justa Punk 01:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No because WWE doesnt have it on their schedule, go their schedule website under live events, and you will no see Armageddon under Dec. 16. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truko9308 (talk • contribs) 13:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We should wait until the time comes that the PPV isn't happening. There's no use in speculating whether it will or won't happen. Virakhvar321 06:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. The WWE website has a habit of not announcing events (apart from Wrestlemania) very far in advance. The most common cut off is actually the Survivor Series (the event directly before Armageddon) Justa Punk 09:36, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is being discussed at the Armageddon talk page. The Hyb rid 14:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is a former PPV, even though some alreadys "knows" when it will be held and on what date. Also, it listed under former PPV'S, even though if you click on Armageddon, at the bottom of the page it is NOT listed as a former PPV.76.110.82.251 01:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Federal Investigation

Shouldn't the federal investigation of WWE be on the article?

This is no week by week thing and it isn't about wrestling, it's about the government taking charge over WWE territory. (wellness program) AD Double J 21:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chairman?

Is there a person of higher power than the Chairman? I heard V.K.M. woring about "The Board" leaving me to wonder "We are missing things!" So is V.K.M. is highest power or is there more to it?--Offensive username removed 12:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at this, their list of Board members with some details: http://corporate.wwe.com/governance/board.jsp Cheers, --Naha|^(talk) 05:29, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

T. Long?

Okay is this a storyline or the guy really had a heart attack ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.38.48.238 (talk)

Storyline. The Hyb rid 23:26, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not to mention worst on-screen fake heart attack ever seen. --Kaizer13 14:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You should know its a storyline. 76.110.82.251 21:57, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

vadlism

please stop letting people mess up the WWE page --WALICE111 21:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

You can't help it if someone messes up the page or not. 76.110.82.251 21:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hornswoole

he is not the cuewight champ as on smackdown he vacted it i just watched it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs) 00:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It hasn't aired in America yet, so don't insert spoilers please. The Hyb rid 00:23, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

im in Austraila i watched it yesterday — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs) Fine, I will revert it as unsourced info if you change it again. It is a spoiler to all Americans, and will be for a couple more hours. The Hyb rid 00:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The agreed standard of WP:PW is to use when it is first aired in the United Stated since that is also how WWE handles it. Based on the spoilers I read (in my damn area, SD won't air until tomorrow night because of a damn Yankees game), the Hornswoggle situation won't happen until about halfway into tonights show (someone in an area where SD isn't delayed for a f*cking baseball game will know for sure). TJ Spyke 00:30, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks so when will it be changed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs)

Oh, a rough estimate would be around 3 hours, give or take a half-hour or so. Cheers, The Hyb rid 00:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

who just changed it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs)

You did, and you know it. The Hyb rid 00:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

back to that Horswooghle is champ he is not i watched smackdown on Friday in Austraila even my brother sore it

You're brother isn't a source, now is he? We will say Hornswoggle is champ in 3 hours; you can wait until then. The Hyb rid 00:42, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

how can i get a sourse — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs)

The only way to answer that question is to say "look for one", but that isn't really helpful. Dude, just wait 3 hours. It isn't that big of a deal. The Hyb rid 00:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it back to Hornswoggle. Just be patient, when it airs here in America someone will change it. This has always been the standard here, we wait until it airs in the United States or is stated on wwe.com (like WWE did when Kurt Angle and Edge won the titles on SmackDown). Also, please sign your comments. TJ Spyke 00:59, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

my sourse http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=192780177 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs)

Let me see if that passes wiki standards. Don't add it yet. The Hyb rid 00:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

so has it

I asked someone who would know better than I would. Give him a few minutes to reply. In the mean time, how about you tell me why you care so much. The Hyb rid 00:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well its coz i have just watched it 12 hours ago and im trying to update wiki —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs) 00:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It will be updated in 3 hours anyway. Why is it worth spoiling it for the American viewers? That seems quite selfish. The Hyb rid 00:57, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

so coz it has not happened in the US i cant add it that bull anyway i get RAW on a 1 day delay and so when eva a titles changes i find out here and give it a way but when it happens to u u cry —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs) 01:01, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

America has way more viewers than in Australia, and the vast majority of users on this Wiki are American and European. It is a population thing. The Hyb rid 01:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well i have a qeustion for u has it hapened --Jhauth11 01:12, 29 September 2007 (UTC)jhauth112[reply]

If you mean have I gotten the yes or no on the source, then yes I have. That source fails WP:RS. It is just a dirtsheet, The Hyb rid 01:15, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

has the event happend already where he gives up the belt

It doesn't matter; on Wikipedia verifiability is more important than the truth. That's policy The Hyb rid 01:19, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

this is rubbish that something that has happened cant be reported till u america c it that bull —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs) 01:21, 29 September 2007 (UTC) just fix it NOW[reply]

Find a reliable source The Hyb rid 01:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

HOW I HAVE GIVEN U 1 ALL READY, AND I HAVE WATCHED IT WITH MY 2 EYES —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs) 01:27, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The agreed standard of WP:PW is to use when it is first aired in the United Stated since that is also how WWE handles it. Also, the source you provided wasn't reliable. The Hyb rid 01:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Y do i have to wait for u guys to watch for someone to change it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs) 01:34, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because the WWE won't confirm it until we watch it. The Hyb rid 01:36, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

here is a sourse http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/2007_/articles/1190779871.php —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs) 01:39, 29 September 2007 (UTC) is it good--Jhauth11 01:41, 29 September 2007 (UTC)jhauth11[reply]

Sigh, you still don't get it, do you? We all know what will happen becuase SmackDown was taped 3 days ago and spoilers are online the same night. THE POLICY OF WP:PW IS TO WAIT FOR IT TO AIR IN THE US OR ON WWE.COM BEFORE ADDING IT, THIS APPLIES TO ALL WWE/TNA/ROH EVENTS. TJ Spyke 01:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let me check The Hyb rid 01:42, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

so is it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhauth11 (talk • contribs)

Have patience The Hyb rid 01:44, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

so how good is it

It fails miserably. Now, I will copy TJ's response to the bottom here for you to read since you ignored it before. The Hyb rid 01:48, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is over (at least this week) since SmackDown is almost over here in the eastern US (it's 9:57 PM ET). TJ Spyke 01:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok SmackDown! has aired, the information has been written into the article, this conversation is CLOSED--TrUcO9311 02:24, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
