A few things

First, I've only ever seen him referred to in print or in other published forms as Willem Ruska. Unless someone wishes to demonstrate otherwise (say, Dutch-language sources I've not perused due to my lack of familiarity with the language), I question whether the article title conforms to his WP:COMMONNAME. Second, I'm pretty sure it's false to say that he wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation (actually the World Wide Wrestling Federation at the time) when it appears that he actually made a one-time appearance at a WWWF event while wrestling for New Japan Pro Wrestling. This was at Madison Square Garden, during an era when the WWWF brought in many wrestlers from other promotions to MSG for special appearances. Once again, if I'm wrong, you're welcome to show me. The profightdb source currently shows that he had more than fourteen pro wrestling matches. I've glanced at that site extensively enough to know that it's far, far from comprehensive, so who knows if it can be definitively states how many pro wrestling matches he had.
