Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 23:26, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ray Fernandez → Hercules (wrestler) – This is the professional name of the individual and the name he is better known by. This will allow far more direct linking. McPhail (talk) 16:26, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nominator. McPhail (talk) 16:28, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The article makes it very clear that he did not use "Hernandez" for the majority of his WWF career. Hercules (wrestler) would be the common name. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:49, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I've changed this to Hernandez (wrestler). McPhail (talk) 21:13, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Plain "Hernandez" is clearly already taken by Shawn. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:32, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unless someone can show that this person is better known as Hernandez than the other person it will need to be changed.--174.93.163.70 (talk) 01:55, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry, that should have been "Hercules (wrestler)", not "Hernandez (wrestler)". I've changed this again - apologies. McPhail (talk) 09:45, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Hercules Hernandez. Even in WWF, this was his name, though the last name wasn't mentioned for long. Not much different than how his friends calling him "Ray" wouldn't stop his full name from being "Raymond Fernandez". InedibleHulk (talk) 00:32, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That would be like saying that The Undertaker should be at Kane the Undertaker because it was his original, short-used name (okay, maybe not quite the same, but I hope the point is clear enough). I would support Hercules (wrestler), but I would oppose Hercules Hernandez because it wouldn't make sense to move the article to something that isn't the common name. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:34, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If, like Undertaker, the extra part was just a brief WWF name, I'd agree. But Hercules Hernandez was around before WWF (Central States, Florida, World Class), during and after (New Japan). So no, that point doesn't do anything for me. Not a big issue, though, and won't argue hard. The Scott Taylor and Bob Holly things are still travesties, though!

HE QUIT![edit]

I warched thay 1986 Saturday Night's Main Event in which Hercules faced Hulk Hogan for the world heavyweight championship, and Jesse Ventura and I was right. Hercules did put Hogan on a torture rack and yes Hogan DID say I Quit. But the referee wasn't paying Attention to what Hogan said, and allow that match to go on, now that hercules and his manager Bobby Heenan are dead, we'll never known if it's true that Hogan said i quit from their point of view.

That world be part of the storyline. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:32, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
