The reference tells you the theme song, but not the tagline. A reference needs to be found of the tagline.

The second sentence as a whole needs a reference
Not every sentence needs a ref. –L A X 18:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Put reference number 7 after the third sentence as well, since it works there.
Again, not every sentence needs a ref. –L A X 18:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Source needed for The teams feuded on both shows, and Batista, the captain of the SmackDown! team, suffered an injury after being beat down several times

Can "died" be changed to "passed away", it sounds better.
~~Saying Bischoff despised Cena is more like a personal opinion.~~
–L A X 18:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Did Bischoff choose Angle to just take the title from Cena, or to face him in a match for the title, hoping Angle would win?~~
–L A X 18:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On the November 7 edition of Raw, Angle refused to compete due to the "you suck" chants from the audience. needs a ref.
–L A X 18:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Angle finally agreed to compete when Bischoff censored the crowd, and let him have a special guest referee, whom Angle chose to be Daivari. needs a ref as well.
Once again, not every sentence needs a ref. –L A X 18:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aftermath

After losing to the SmackDown! brand, Eric Bischoff was fired by Mr. McMahon on the December 5 edition of Raw. - needs a ref.
Zenlax ^T ^C ^S 18:54, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The feud between the brands ended, and McMahon took the spot as the temporary general manager of RAW. - also needs a ref
Zenlax ^T ^C ^S 18:56, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There should be a paragraph about the aftermath of the Angle/Cena feud and the Triple H/Ric Flair feud.

Results

The match note about the Undertaker needs to be indented.
No, because it is a notable point in the event, similar to the dance segment at WrestleMania 23, which isn't indented. –L A X 01:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review

Okay, I decided to take a look at this article (even though the last time I reviewed a PW one I was attacked on the project talk page), it's looking pretty good, but there is some stuff that needs addressing.

There appears to be something wrong with refs 8 and 11. There is random bolding in them, and apostrophes in various places where they probably shouldn't be.
- That has to do with Template:Cite DVD-notes. I looked at the template itself and tried to fix it, but I could not find anything. –L A X 22:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"The tagline was "The Beginning of the End."" <- Needs a source.
- No, because it is on the poster to right. –L A X 22:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Should it be mentioned somewhere that Long/Bischoff was named WON's worst match of the year?
- I don't know, but I'll look into it. –L A X 22:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I could not find a source to back up that claim. I don't believe that is needed, but it wouldn't hurt for it to be added. –L A X 23:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Television shows should be italicized per the MOS. There are several uses of Smackdown! and Raw which are not.
- All unitalicized mentions I found were referring to the brand and not the show. –L A X 22:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Considering the Benoit/Booker match is the first match of a series, the eventual result should be mentioned in the aftermath.~~
- The ending came sometime in January. Should we really note that in this article? I think it should definitely be mentioned in the Armageddon (2005) article, though. –L A X 22:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - We're supposed to assume that the reader is not entirely familiar with the topic, so someone note that it is the first match in a series and wonder how it ended. At the very least something along the lines of "the feud between Benoit and Booker continued into 2006, with Booker eventually regaining the title." -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:47, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done –L A X 23:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~"Triple H attacked Flair's head, after he used a screwdriver to Flair's head" two uses of the phrase "Flair's head" in one sentence, that should be fixed.~~
- –L A X 23:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The paragraph about the Survivor Series match in the event section uses a lot of the same words over and over again.

That's about all. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:35, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Okay, I'm satisfied. Good work. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:38, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
