I'm going to take this on to try and get myself back into GA reviewing despite pretty much being done here. Besides, articles waiting over a year for a review is just flat out unacceptable. It's going to take a couple weeks since wrestling articles especially have to take care with sources and prose separating facts with kayfabe and storylines.

Ok right off the bat I have a concern on one source, the Powerdriver Review one just seems to be a guy with a wordpress blog sharing his opinion. It's a pretty heavily-used source at that, I'd get rid of that and replace that. I'm also not sold on that attendance source even though apparently is about.com, but if you can't find a better one I won't worry about it because that's a pretty minor thing.

A couple more things on the source/image review end. I'm not sold on File:WMIVhogan.jpg as a fair use image, doesn't really say anything that the prose doesn't already (i'm fine with the promo poster, but more than one in an article would need a strong rationale). There's also a second powerdriver source to replace (only one use so that should be easier), and ref 42 is a permanent dead link of a source that I wasn't sure of its reliability anyway. There's a couple other sources I'm borderline on, but I'll research them over the next day or two to see if they are acceptable. Wizardman 02:30, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
The sources seem ok now, I removed one more that seemed like an "anyone can publish something" site. There's a couple more things to clean up on that front though: the major news sites that have authors (espn, the independent, etc.) should have the author noted in the refs. Also some spots where the same site is cited are different; Wrestlemania V says Pro Wrestling History while WWF World Title 1988 says Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments. Same with ESPN.com/ESPN and canoe.com/slam.canoe.com, double check the formatting and make sure the sources read alike. One that's situated I'll start on the prose.

Alright, time for the prose part of the review:
clarified? perhaps modify this to note their former tag team status since it's wasn't that long prior.
I'm gonna stop here and I'll do the rest over the weekend. Taking me longer to comb through than i anticipated, as there's some sentence that i have to re-read a couple times to make sure I'm reading them correctly. Wizardman 20:29, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
More prose stuff:
Finally almost done cleaning this up. I'll place this on hold and will do another once over/hopefully pass this once everything remaining is fixed. Wizardman 01:57, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
Everything reads pretty well now so I'm comfortable passing this. If you plan to do any more with this going forward, I'd try and make the prose a bit more active. there's a lot of "he would do this" and the like, and while it's not really an issue for GA status, I know FAC would have a problem with it.
