On WWE.com it say he will make a appear at summerslam I myself don't see the reason to put it in but just though you should know Will C 06:56, 05 Auguest 2008 (UTC)
WWE.com has this listed as a match here. Maybe we should list it as a match as well. :-) -G uffas Borgz7- 11:46, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
No i think we should wait till the ppv's over and put it in the event section! Adster95 ( talk) 13:06, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Should it be under matches since its not a match SuperSilver901 ( talk) 05 August 2008 (UTC)
Jeff Hardy vs. MVP was just announced on the smackdown TV Tapings. Can someone add this in please. Craigtubby ( talk) 02:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Heres the proof that it has been added. http://www.wrestlezone.com//article.php?articleid=220050284 -- 24.224.154.249 ( talk) 17:39, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Not reliable SuperSilver901 ( talk) 05 August 2008 (UTC)
It has been announced on wwe.com! See why didnt you trust me? Haha! I was right! You should trust me next time! Craigtubby ( talk) 01:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
So? We are NOT going to trust you unless you have reliable source for your info SuperSilver901 ( talk) 07 August 2008 (UTC)
Just read the SummerSlam article, and I'm not sure I like how it reads. My issues are mainly this:
I may return to this article later and revise the intro and make some other changes in accordance with what I have written and with the WP:BOLD policy, but I wanted to explain myself before anything happens, and to possibly open the door for discussion. [[ Briguy52748 ( talk) 16:25, 6 August 2008 (UTC)]]
Numerous of IP's just recently ruin the page but its fixed now. SuperSilver901 ( talk) 06 August 2008 (UTC)
Do really have to say a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match is a match with tables, ladders, and chairs? I think it's pretty obvious, even for non-wrestling fans. Qwerty36095 ( talk) 20:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Should "(c)" be next to John Cena and Batista's names in the match list as they are both champions as in Tag Team champions? Gibsonj338 ( talk) 07:46, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Why are we including wrestlers' real names along with their stage names now? That seems unnecessary. SuperSonicTH ( talk) 13:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
This is new consensus at WP:PW for more info look above Adster95 ( talk) 14:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Can we at least not put it in the table since it clutters it up. Qwerty36095 ( talk) 14:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Bring it up at WP:PW Adster95 ( talk) 15:28, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
I think putting the real names is incredibly stupid and takes away from the match and the participants. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.195.9.105 ( talk) 15:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Yea all this new policy crap is incredibly pointless and confusing. Nothing will be changed guys. they keep making this more and more complicated. i dont know about you guys, but im not using wikipedia for WWE, TNA, or any other wretsling info ever again. I hope the rest of you guys do the same. User:CTUnick —Preceding undated comment was added at 03:12, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Is it me or are people on this getting more stupid by the day. Give me 1 reason why putting in their names is good for the article. WeLsHy ( talk) 01:10, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Why isn't the feud for JBL and Punk wrote? Khali and Triple Faggot is wrote, why not Punk/JBL? We can have more than 4 feuds wrote.-- Will C 22:06, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't we include the Shawn Michaels' announcement in the background? Brady4mvp ( Talk) ( Sign my guestbook!) 02:46, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Can we at least have something about how the matches were won? it would kinda help —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbhsfootball28 ( talk • contribs) 00:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Why not add it now? I think its just as significant to the event as the match time and the stipulations —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbhsfootball28 ( talk • contribs) 01:31, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Seven professional wrestling matches, performances with pre-determined outcomes between wrestlers with fictional personalities that are portrayed as real, were featured on the event's card. The buildup to the matches and the scenarios that took place before, during, and after the event were planned by WWE's creative staff. The event stared wrestlers from the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands: storyline expansions of the promotion where employees are assigned to wrestling brands under the WWE banner.
Not Approprate i will remove it ever time it is added.-- Jwein ( talk) 05:34, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
What a bloody stupid thing to put at the start of the article. Remove it now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.211.134.201 ( talk) 23:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Wow. Whoever thought up that policy should be castrated. Ridiculous. For a website which 'anyone' can edit, it sure is rather stupid that a select few have a say what happens.
And who made this diabolical policy? Was there a vote. Does anyone else in the world get a say? Is someone going to go through every tv show and type. 'This show was portrayed by actors who are not actually real'.?
Well then, every single article to do with TV and Film on here needs to include the words 'This program/film was portrayed by actors in a fictional setting' or some words to that effect. Better get cracking. :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by CGJ ( talk • contribs) 00:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
'performances with pre-determined outcomes between wrestlers with fictional personalities that are portrayed as real' That has to be the stupidest shit I've read in my life. Everybody knows its fake. You don't have to insult peoples intellegence with bullshit like this.
Somebody change al of the wrestling results sections back to the way they wre about 5 months ago Who decided to go f*** with all of them?
Gavyn Sykes - I see a load of people believing their favourite tv shows are real. You might as well put "Santa is not real" at the start of the article for him then. People believe he's real, so why not? After all, Wikipedia is not supposedly "censored" Xkingoftheworldx ( talk) 12:59, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
how long r the matches —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.96.137.3 ( talk) 18:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Is anyone working on this article? Like to take it to GA or something or is it orphaned.-- Will C 23:23, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
The match length was 10:12, not 19:12 as the article states at this point. I personally record the match lengths myself as I watch events and have been doing so for 2 1/2 years, the match wasn't nearly as long as the article states. Just a friendly suggestion. I won't edit the page myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.93.115.44 ( talk) 22:01, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:SummerSlam (2003) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 05:15, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
