Hi, I'm Mm40 (talk · contribs) and I'll be reviewing this article. I'll be watching this page, and will be very active over the next week, so you should just leave any comments here.

Lead
  • I think his nickname, "Big Time", should be placed more prominently, such as in the infobox and the lead's first sentence
  • I'm not fond of the half-a-line paragraph in the lead
  • The lead should be expanded a bit to include something about his personal life and football career
    • I think I got it, on points 2 and 3.
American Football career
  • More background on Blinn College, particularly where it's located, should be added
    • Noted in the PL section.
  • More information on his football career, at least the position he played, would be nice.
    • He played "both sides of the ball". I'm guessing he played offense and defense, but I don't want to speculate.
  • Much more can be taken from current reference 3, such as why he was only at Blinn for two semesters, information on his MMA career (first opponent/event), information on high school, the scholarship he got from Northwestern State, details about his first TE appearance, etc. Basically, this article is on the short side, so we should be looking to add detail.
    • In the PL section.
Tough Enough and developmental territories
  • Mitchell was eliminated from TE first: [3]
    • Done.
  • The sentence beginning "He began wrestling under the name..." is confusing: does the name have anything to do with who he fights? I think this could be clarified by saying "other competitors included..."
  • How did he injure his knee in Tough Enough?
    • I don't think he got injured in Tough Enough. I think you mean during his time with Deep South Wrestling. Also, the implication of the injury is not notable.
  • Take out the "however" in the last sentence of the the Tough Enough section as that sentence doesn't contrast with the previous one
    • Removed.
The Spirit Squad (2006)
  • Somewhat major problem: the section doesn't talk about Mitchell's role in the group at all.
    • He didn't have much a role to be honest. The Squad was really used to promote Kenny and Mikey, and the other three were just "filler" for lack of a better term. I've added that he was mainly used in a non-wrestling role for the first few months due to his injury, but there's not a whole much more I can add. ♥NiciVampireHeart15:22, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Did Mitchell ever fight in any individual matches in WWE?
    • No, he did not. He fought along with the Spirit Squad.
  • When you say "they had their WWE television debut as a group", do you mean that all five members were appearing in WWE for the first time?
  • In the first paragraph of the section on the Spirit Squad, does Shawn Michaels have a position (such as McMahon as WWE chairman)?
    • No, at the time, he was a wrestler. Now, he's retired.
  • "with outside help from the other three Squad members" Can this be clarified; what did they do to help?
  • More background is needed on DX; since the article says "revive", when was the first incarnation?
  • "and a clean sweep in an elimination handicap match" what is a "clean sweep"? I've heard the term in other contexts, but I'm unsure of what it means here
    • Meaning, that the team defeated all of them, without Michaels and Triple H being pinned.
  • When the Squad went on a losing streak in singles matches, did Mitchell lose any matches individually? and a clean sweep in an elimination handicap match
    • No, he didn't participate in that. He was just at ringside.
  • Is there any info on why WWE released him? I think I saw a blog on it, but there may be a better source.
    • I don't think so, not like, I'm not sure there is anything related to that.
Mixed Martial Arts
  • As I said above, this section should be expanded
    • There's not that much info. on his MMA career.
  • Since Rock Long is red-linked, would it be possible to give background on him? Such as who else he has trained, where he's based, etc.
Personal life

I'll finish the review tomorrow. Mm40 (talk) 03:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Full review is finished. I'm putting the article on hold to gibe you time to address the issues raised here. Mm40 (talk) 13:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review, it's most appreciated. :) I hope I've addressed your concerns. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:44, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've struck resolved issues and left alone everything else. Most unstruck things have replies from me below them. Mm40 (talk) 22:07, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've struck more and commented on everything else. Please comment on everything you haven't commented on already. Thanks, Mm40 (talk) 14:06, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Think I've got the rest that 'Blue didn't get. ♥NiciVampireHeart15:22, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, as all my issues are resolved, I'm passing the article now. Thanks for your contributions, and consider reviewing an article at GAN to keep the backlog down. Cheers, Mm40 (talk) 17:29, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
