Misc.

I'm fine with that, but what bothers me is how it introduces the match with Mark Henry...how about we just say something like "After losing to Big Daddy V, he would go on to lose to Mark Henry the following week, and a week later recieved his fourth consecutive loss by Kane." And once Friday comes by, after SmackDown! airs, something like "....consecutive loss to Kane, who he attacked on SmackDown! with a chair, only to be attacked by Kane." I just don't think its that necessary that we describe everything that Tazz said about the whole superstar from what brand...you know? Oh, and are you the main editor of this article?--Lord Dagon (talk) 16:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

that sounds fine. I just started this article. Pat21539 (talk) 17:53, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia isn't a match guide. We will not be listing every match he has had with WWE. He hasn't done much with WWE, but that doesn't justify we list every time he wrestles and/or makes an appearance. RobJ1981 (talk) 18:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I just get a bit carried away with that. Perhaps we should just mention the date of his debut, and then just list who else he has lost to but not mention specific dates, and the whole introduction from Tazz and his crutches...come to think of it, it sounds a lot like what they're doing to Shark Boy, anyone see that episode of iMPACT where he has all his shark friends there? Hysterical....but anyway....I want to revise it so badly, but I can't link to WWE at school so someone else will have to do it...--Lord Dagon (talk) 14:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A list of everyone he has lost to isn't encyclopedic either. When he does something notable (a PPV appearance/match, feud and so on), then we list it. Wrestler bios aren't "catchalls" that list every single thing a person has done. RobJ1981 (talk) 15:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Im adding in that the WWE has yet to offer him a contract...I read it on Wrestlingexposed.com It is expected they are going to continue with his storyline for at least 2 more weeks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.162.117.183 (talk) 02:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MonkeyKid (talk) 06:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC) um would the fact that he keeps coming back each week with more and more injuries be considered noteworthy? How about how he is always introduced by Tazz prior to each match?[reply]

Towel Time

I'm throwing my hands up on this one. I tried to take out the week-by-week results, and did a little cleanup on it, only to have my edit reverted back to the way it was before, so screw it if y'all think his weekly losses are that noteworthy. ArcAngel (talk) 19:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think listing all of his losses is only proper if he either exits the show as quickly as he entered, or if he moves beyond the current scope of what he is doing, which is just getting beat down every week. If they continue to just beat him every week for months then listing every match would be probably be improper. Just my thoughts. Deepintexas (talk) 00:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wrestling biographies aren't detailed match guides, and never will be. Listing a few of them is fine, but a sentence such as "he also lost to this person, that person and another person" isn't necessary. RobJ1981 (talk) 14:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Signing with WWE

Can anyone find a source for this? All I've seen so far is a CHIKARA You tube video stating that he's out of the King of Trios due to his signing with WWE, but CHIKARA have worked the fans before and it seems unusual that WWE wouldn't allow him to fulfill all his independent commitments first.

ECW Contract

On March 18, 2008 Colin is invited to fight against Chavo for a chance to fight for ECW. Unfortunately he lost against Chavo. But he did pin Chavo for 2.5 seconds.

and that's notable how? ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 23:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a matter of fact, I don't think the whole contract storyline is even notable at all, even if he does win the match to earn it, because:

1. It already states in the article that he signed a contract with the WWE. 2. Its also listing sequental losses in the WWE. 3. Even if he wins, its not like he built up some notable feud with somebody, its almost a recurring segment, in fact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lord Dagon (talk • contribs) 16:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this whole "ECW contract" storyline shouldn't be involved with this. It already states that he's signed to WWE on it's ECW brand, so why bother with it? I was thinking of removing the section where it states that he beat Armando Estrada to earn a contract. Like I said, it already states he signed with WWE. THE $R $ 03:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Irish?

should we put that he's being posted from Ireland and that the wwe are calling him Irish? seems like it could be important.Black6989 (talk) 02:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)Black6989[reply]

No, he's just of Irish descent, much like I'm of Cuban and French descent, but I can't speak a word of French nor have I been there.Linknumbers (talk) 07:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Death hoax

Someone edited this page to claim that "it is being reported" that Colin was murdered. Since a quick Google news search showed that no one is reportng this, I removed the "joke." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.78.238.139 (talk) 09:00, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
