Powerbombing Kidman

What the hell does it mean in the first paragraph that his opponents found difficulty in powerbombing his? He was kayfabe heavier than he was, he wasn't good at taking powerbombs, what?

— It was because one of his signature comeback moves was a powerbomb reversal into a facebuster. So even wrestlers who didn't perform powerbombs would make an attempt for Kidman to get his spot in. 71.105.240.177 05:53, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

High school

I am trying to update high school affiliations for Allentown people. Does anyone know where he went to high school? PAWiki 18:05, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Parkland High School, Allentown, PA , class of 1992. He is listed under Notable Alumni. Writingmerchant (talk) 02:19, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Signature Moves

I am changing the listing of Shootingstar Press - WWE / Seven Year Itch - WCW to Shhotingstar Press / Seven Year Itch (Flock). He only called it the Seven Year itch when in the Flock, as part of the dirty, grungy image they had.

Actually the Flock gimmick was that they were all Outcasts & Kidman's gimmick at that time was of a heroin user, hence all the scratching. It was never explicitly said on-screen that his character did heroin, but it was implied.--Hndsmepete (talk) 05:16, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One Time WWE Cruiserweight Champion

Billy Kidman only one won the WWE Cruiserweight Champion once and he beat Jamie Noble to win it. Mr. C.C. 08:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What r u on about? He won it four times.

July 3rd 2001 – Beating Gregory Helms October 9th 2001 – Beating X-Pac April 2nd 2002 – Beating Tajiri November 17th 2002 – Beating Jamie Noble —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.206.137.123 (talk) 00:27, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kidman's first two victories in defeating Gregory Helms and X-Pac were won when the title was still the WCW Cruiserweight Championship. The title was not renamed the WWE Cruiserweight Championship until after Survivor Series 2001 when all remaining WCW championships were renamed. Thus, Billy Kidman is technically a two-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion, 5-time WCW Cruisereight Champion, and 7-time Cruiserweight Champion overall —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.137.34 (talk) 15:24, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Info

There is hardly much information on Kidman's WWE Career. Can anyone expand it please. Thankyou! Lee 01:24, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Info has just been added to his WWE and WCW sections. Cheers mate! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.137.34 (talk) 18:41, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pornography

The third reference is a porn site (just click it if you don't believe me). While it is about Kidman (more specifically, Torrie Wilson), should there perhaps be some notice of the nature of the site? The domain name, torriewilsontopless.net, should be a giveaway, but that's not apparent by the link given (only the status bar when you hover it). Also, the sentence in the reference section contains the word "homosexually" wikilinked, which quite obviously is a redlink, and that leads me to believe it was put there by a vandal. You'll forgive me for not scouring torriewilsontopless.net for the original quote (I have no objections to being called bashful in the face of what exactly shows up when you click that link). And this is all used to reference the claim that the two are divorced. Surely we can find that elsewhere, no? And please don't tell me Wikipedia is not censored, I'm not trying to censor it (I have no problems being told I'm wrong). Just....a little forewarning seems in order.

USWA Tag Team Champion?

The USWA Tag Team Championship history doesn't show that Billy Kidman teaming with Ace Darling ever won those titles. If they did, then why isn't it listed? Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 17:59, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kidman not training Sheamus

After I had read on kidmans page of training Sheamus. I edited Sheamus page that he was trained by Kidman. Tony2Times and I constantly kept changing it back and forth and had a discussion over it. He claims I don't see a source of that Sheamus was trained by Kidman. I told him if their is no source, than why is it on Kidman's own page that says he did. They worked together at Florida Territory. He won't bother to edit out that Kidman trained Sheamus after I told him twice to do it. He's lazy. Anyway, whoever feels that it was wrong to edit it out or can claim proof (Source) of it... then you should have a long talk with Tony2Times. The link to his talk page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Tony2Times

Majinsnake(talk) 1 June 2011 (UTC)

And lo, no-one had a problem with it being edited out or put it back in because it had no source or claim of validity. Tony2Times (talk) 15:32, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
