He has been known as "B.G. James" for three years, and has signed a three year contract extension with TNA, so is practically guaranteed to be known by this name throughout the forseeable future. It will save on redirects for all newly created articles. It is his real name, and he is known to be addressed as "B.G.". Finally, moving the page will allow Brian James to be made into a disambiguation page. McPhail 21:08, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
The proposer of the vote appears to have changed his original proposition (move to B.G. James) to:
Since no other people voted, this seems the most likely choice. Because of the backlog on WP:RM, I remove the topic there. All redirects disentangled (as far as I can see). Brian James is a disambig page now. -- Francis Schonken 18:19, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
What is his real name? The article says he was born Brian Gerard James but then it afterwards says he is the son of Bob Armstrong. Was Armstrong an absent father and he took his mother's last name or was he born Brian James Armstrong? ( Lostkiwi 21:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC))
I came to this page looking for a motorcycle I read about years ago in Cycle Magazine or Cycle World or something. That motorcycle was home-built and over 20 feet long. I don't have much information about it, but it was called Road Dog. Wikipedia could use a disambiguation page for people who aren't looking for the wrestler.
Ah, I found it! It's listed under Roadog, not Road Dog, but if I can't figure out how to create a disambiguation page then I'd really appreciate it if someone else could. Incidentally, it was only 17 feet long; a bit shorter than I remembered.
He is such a loser i mean seriously him and dat idiot billy gunn declared war on the wwe just cos their asses got fired they really need 2 get ova themselves and really brian said he would go bak 2 wwe if they would have him but but seriously y would the wwe waste their time on a crybaby.TNA is a waste of time Samoa Joe is the only decent wrestler on dat show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.233.105 ( talk) 05:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm a bit confused - I just watched a shoot interview where Road Dogg and Billy Gunn just tore right into Vince McMahon... yet it says on this page that he's said he'd happily rejoin WWE? He stated, quite clearly here that he would never go back to WWE! [ [1]] -- 212.84.125.251 ( talk) 19:41, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
For years, this victory apparently occurred on October 19, 2001, and was supported by a Solie.org cite: [2]. 124.176.237.176 is intent on removing Road Dogg's WWA reign, claiming that it never happened. After a series of unsupported reverts, he finally produced this OWOW cite: [3]. Since there's no mention of the title being defended on the card, he uses that as his justification for Road Dogg never having won the title.
After some investigation, it seems that the date on the Solie cite may be incorrect. OWOW does indeed report Road Dogg as having won the WWA title, but on October 23: [4]. The Internet Wrestling Database, Profightdb.com, also supports this: [5]. As for now, I've placed both dates in the Brian Gerard James and WWA World Heavyweight Championship articles, with cites supporting both dates. Hopefully we can establish consensus. Given that OWOW and the IWDB are reporting James as a WWA Champion, I've no doubt that it happened: establishing the correct date is the only issue. I think the Solie cite has possibly confused the date of the first WWA event (19), with the date of the first WWA Championship reign (23). 90.201.91.232 ( talk) 08:15, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
It did NOT happen. The differing dates are the proof of this. Neither are correct and as long as the anomaly exists the accuracy of the claim is under enough question for it to be removed. Solie.org is now investigating their own source after they were told by someone who was there in Perth (not me) that the claim for Perth was not correct. They were relying on a non wrestling sports person who was also at the event in Perth, but as he wasn't conversant with wrestling storylines he did not understand what the real lack of significance of James holding the belt in Perth was. The other person who IS conversant with storylines said that James only held the title up in a gesture of confidence for the pay per view in Sydney (AFTER Canberra). I'm not saying this to convince you of changes here. I know what OR is. But Solie.org acept the evidence and that's why they are looking into it. Now unless you can prove with sources that it DID happen in Canberra - given the other sources do say Perth - I say it stays as I had it. Until we have this sorted out once and for all. 124.176.237.176 ( talk) 12:50, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
My IP is different now off a rebooted modem, but to avoid an edit war I ask that an established editor delete the WWA title claim. It's bogus and the sources named question it themselves. I am presently investigating this through other more reliable sources and trying to find people who were there and know what actually happened. So are the other sites. I know that's OR (hence why I'm holding the revert myself) but it's a start, and such evidence should we get it WILL convince the owners of Solie.org and Wrestlingtitles.com that the claim is bogus and they will remove it from their site. I have included the promoter Andrew McManus in my contact list and have asked that a statement be made if they are prepared to. 203.51.163.195 ( talk) 21:58, 17 March 2012 (UTC) (previously 124.176.237.176)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Andrewa ( talk) 14:13, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
Brian Girard James →
Road Dogg – "Road Dogg" is the name under which the individual achieved his greatest fame and under which he is currently performing. He is semi-retired and unlikely to go on to greater fame under a different name. 596,000 Google hits for "Road Dogg", 9,930 for "Brian Girard James". Relisted.
