Need better reference

I was rightfully challenged on the reference I used to assert Gilliam's involvement. I have since delisted the references. There are plenty of other sources, though, so if another editor picks up the ball - thanks. Otherwise, I will at some point. Also, turns out that an Elvis song hit #1 because of this? Inclusion?

Rescue?

If editors want to improve this article there are two areas that are currently ignored that might establish notability:

While plenty of sporting events are established to obtain advertising, it seems this might be the first "genuine" sporting event conducted entirely within an advertising campaign. Any sources to support this?
The area of the FIFA accusations of ambush marketing with reference to the World Cup has been ignored within this article. While being an example of ambush marketing does not make the subject notable, it is an important area that should be covered if the article remains.

These are fair questions, and I will certainly address them as my research uncovers the answers. At this time, i don't believe it was a real tournament (and I hope that I never implied that), but that doesn't make it any less notable. I'm finding some excellent business articles on this, though...Vulture19 (talk) 00:40, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

OK but the article certainly reads as if it were a proper tournament, with scores, results table etc. If it was all set up these should be removed. --Michael Johnson (talk) 01:09, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Reading the article, I still think it's not as clear as it could be that the results were scripted (apparently). Senor Vergara (talk) 02:40, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I have attempted a rewrite of the synopsis section that hopefully will alleviate the confusionVulture19 (talk) 02:57, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I won't revert yours, but "premise of the campaign", "supposed matches" pretty much did this job already. Kevin McE (talk) 09:09, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Missing Player/Main Theme

Does anybody know why Seol Ki-Hyeon never appeared in the commercial, while he was in the Funk Seoul Brothers team? I think it would be nice if we made a "Triva" section to discuss that.

Also, what is the title of the main theme song of the Scorpion KO match? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.55.69.63 (talk) 02:22, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Are there any reliable sources out there to prove that Seol Ki-Hyeon didn't appear in the ad? Btw, the song is a remixed version of A Little Less Conversation by Elvis Presley. – Pee Jay 06:53, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
