The result was: promoted by Vaticidalprophet (talk02:19, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to mainspace by 173.162.220.17 (talk). Self-nominated at 19:45, 4 June 2021 (UTC), with assistance from Sdrqaz.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: I can see a lot of work was put into this article, sourcing is quite amazing, definitely gives an insight into wrestling history. ALT#6 seems to be the most interesting hook, I am choosing this one. Aussie Article Writer (talk) 18:20, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Aussie Article Writer: I think I've done what you've requested; please check. Sdrqaz (talk) 18:14, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sdrqaz: excellent, love this article, I’ve chosen ALT#6 for DYK. Thanks for your efforts on this article (I disclose that I live a good wrestling article). - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 18:20, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reviewing (there were a lot of hooks to go through)! I didn't actually do any work for the article; just created the nomination page for 173.162.220.17 because they couldn't create it. My field of expertise is not wrestling at all. Sdrqaz (talk) 18:31, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Though ALT6 is pretty amazing, it's also a fair bit over the usual length limit of 200 characters. Can we get an exemption here, and could we try trim the hook a little? (There's probably some excess words we can lose.) Vaticidalprophet 14:32, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'll propose a couple of alternates later today. It's not my nomination, so I don't want to step on any toes, but the editor hasn't edited in the past few weeks. Sdrqaz (talk) 14:35, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vaticidalprophet: I've proposed ALT6a above. Sdrqaz (talk) 17:54, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vaticidalprophet and Sdrqaz: I’ve suggested ALT6b. Very close to Sdrqaz’s. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 10:29, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is ALT6b accurate? See User talk:Vaticidalprophet § Big Time Wrestling at Prep (permalink). It seems like it was the trainer/owner from Big Time Wrestling that put the sugar in the bear's mouth, not the police. Sdrqaz (talk) 14:33, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are correct in that its not correct. I think we should go with ALT6a. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 09:59, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vaticidalprophet: Is there anything left to be done here? A bot's come a-knocking at my talk page. Sdrqaz (talk) 14:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, I'm lost myself on the question of whether this needs an additional reviewer to approve the new hooks before it can be promoted. Ask WT:DYK? Vaticidalprophet 14:32, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
