Now this may be me being naive. But when it says "the camera exploded in his face" was it like "KABOOM" or did it just flash? If it just flashed, I'd change explode to flash. Explode seems to overexaggerate and bias things a bit. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 22:01, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
I'm comparing this to the The Great American Bash (2005) FA for reference as it was recently promoted. I can't provide a layman's point of view as my knowledge of wrestling was very acute in recent years past. However, I will look to ensure that everything is clear when taking a broad audience into consideration. Also, I apologise if this is a bit "peer review"-ish, I'm going to throw in any recommendations I have to ensure the article is clearly above GA. And off we go then:
If you resolve all these issues then I'll promote the article to GA. It's a good solid article as it stands now but the lead and the structure of the background section especially are currently lacking in places. Excellent work in avoiding bias and events are generally clear despite Pro-Wrestling's exhaustive "insider" jargon. As a bonus, I'll give the article a quick copyedit once you're done. Article now on hold. Sillyfolkboy ( talk) 04:50, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

The deprecated source (that is, a source that is generally prohibited and where the WP:BURDEN is very strong indeed) would only be usable, in the words of the RFC (which was claimed in the edit adding it back):
I also note that many have noted that any uncontroversial information which can be sourced to the Sun (sports score-lines et al) can almost-always be sourced to another source of repute.
The cited piece is not "sports score-lines et al"- it's an opinion piece written by a pseudonym of unknown expertise, and seems to fail all excuses to use a deprecated source (permissible SPS, ABOUTSELF, etc).
As such, I think claiming this is a usable source really needs to go to RSN. 'Cos if that's the only source, the claim is not sourced to an RS, and I'm challenging it on that basis - David Gerard ( talk) 07:33, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
