  • I'll admit that it was pretty interesting to find a wrestler based on a country song, and on a side note I'm working on an article about a meme based on a wrestler. AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENNNNAAAAAA!!!!!
But in all seriousness, while the hook is interesting, the article is expanded long enough, and is all sourced with independent, reliable coverage, I'm noticing some writing errors as well, examples being a fragmented sentence of "Originally working as a face in the south, portraying a simple, honest man who always backed up his friends." and saying "son" instead of "song" in the first sentence of the "Professional wrestling career". You should probably the article another re-read and fix these issues along the way. Otherwise, the article is pretty good. edtiorEهեইдအ😎 22:16, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
@EditorE: - I went through and did a little copy edit and caught a major copy and paste error too.  MPJ-US  00:46, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
I think we're all good to go now, great work! Just a nitpick: I find the name of the section "Not to be mistaken for" a little odd, but that's just me. Anyway, article is ready for DYK. editorEهեইдအ😎 23:09, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
I've changes "stuck" to "struck" in the first hook and added a more concise version of it as an ALT2. Edwardx (talk) 20:04, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
Yep, it's all ready to go! Good work. editorEهեইдအ😎 20:48, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
