Talk:World Wrestling All-Stars

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WWA was founded in 2001, not 2002. They did their first shows in 2001 (I went to one - the 19th October 2001 show in Perth, Australia).

Actually Eddie Guerrero did work on the Revolution PPV for the WWA, winning the Crusierweight title before leaving to return to the WWE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank800 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note - Eddie Guerrero never worked a show for WWA. He was originally booked to appear on the 2002 April Australian Tour, but he was signed by Vince McMahon prior to this (and consequently was given an IC title reign) and never worked the dates he was booked for.

Why is AJ Styles repeated twice?

Fair use rationale for Image:Worldwrestlingallstars.jpg

[edit]

Image:Worldwrestlingallstars.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Quotes

[edit]

What is the point or relevance of the quotes - do we have references for them in the event that they are deemed worthwhile. If no-one responds shortly with a reason to keep them, I plan to delete them. -- SGBailey (talk) 09:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete the quotes, I spent a while doing that section. They are relevant as they show the comic nature of the WWA, the thing that its fans loved. As a serious organisation their shows had many faluts, which in the end lead to its failure. The quotes show the many funny moments that occurred and are of great relevance to the history of the organisation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank800 (talk • contribs) 15:45, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with SGBailey. If you want to show that fans loved the WWA because it was funny, the proper way would be to just say that, with a reference to a reliable source that has already drawn that conclusion. One or two quotes could probably be retained as examples, but with this list, the article is beginning to look like Wikiquote. Please "remember that Wikipedia is, at its core, an encyclopedia, and not an opportunity to list the best and worst quotations pertaining to an article's subject." -- Jao (talk) 12:43, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to be able to put references for the quotes but obviously this is not possible as they were part of the TV broadcasts and no manuscripts of such things exist. Please be assured that these are correct quotes as I only recently watched the shows again. Maybe a comprimise could be to move most of the quotes onto a seperate page, with a link into the main WWA. So we have a few quotes as an example and the - See main article for list of WWA quotes - or something like that ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank800 (talk • contribs) 14:58, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly; that list would belong on Wikiquote though, not on Wikipedia. As for referencing the quotes, of course, ideally we should have a reference to a specific episode or broadcast date (if you have that information, go ahead and add it – that manuscripts don't exist doesn't mean you can't use the show itself as a reference), but that's not my problem with these quotes. The problem is that they cannot be used to prove that people think the shows were funny. To make that point, we need to find someone outside Wikipedia saying that the shows were considered funny. Are there no reviews, TV listings, fan sites or something like that? -- Jao (talk) 15:31, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So what do we do with the quotes? keep them? remove them? put them on a separate page? reduce them to one or two only? -- SGBailey (talk) 18:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I still say remove them from Wikipedia, except maybe one or two if they explicitly illustrate the comedic nature of the show. By all means move the rest to Wikiquote, if Wikiquote wants them. -- Jao (talk) 18:31, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: Should quotes be included

[edit]

Quotes do not seem encyclopaedic and do not have references. -- SGBailey (talk) 11:10, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Get rid of them already, it's ridiculous. They're badly laid out, brimming with spelling and grammatical errors and not to mention pointless. All wrestling commentary, indeed most commentary contains hyperbole and humour. No-one quotes Sunday Night Heat commentary when Grisham & Matthews started discussing Isaac Yankem while Kane was in the ring. Tony2Times (talk) 13:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References

[edit]

The references on page are out of date, one is a link to another Wikipedia page, one is some blog entry. Did this promotion even exist? I have been watching wrestling for 36 years and working in it for 10 years, and never have heard of it. Does anyone have any references for this page to back anything up? --DanteAgusta (talk) 05:21, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
