The Pink Assassin

(

)

... that The Pink Assassin was a flamboyant masked villain from Fire Island, New York?

ALT1:... that as a manager The Pink Assassin led former strongman Gino Martino to the ring on a dog leash?

ALT2:... that The Wrestling School Dropout is one of Paul Heyman's all-time favorite creations?

Date and length fine. However, there are problems with the hooks. The first one, the source doesn't list him as flamboyant, it lists him as "gay". Now I know wrestling and how Adonis portrayed his character but the source doesn't state that that is how TPA played his. (It also lists Kanyon and I know he didn't portray a flamboyant homosexual in WWF). As such the hook would need to be updated or the source changed The second hook I am getting a deadlink for so that would need to be fixed. A QPQ is also needed. The C of E God Save the Queen!

I added another source for the first hook. The second is archived at the Wayback Machine. 72.74.203.234 (talk) 02:37, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

I am satisfied with the source for the original. The new hook suggestion isn't mentioned in the article as being one of Heyman's favourites and the second one I am still not getting through to it but it isn't a 404 so I suspect may be something wrong with my computer.
