This article fails to make any distinction between real events and acted events. It would be nice if somebody could clear it up a little. 208.29.145.8 20:18, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
During a local wrestling show, there was an accidental death that involved small town local Berlin Ritchie, where Yokozuna fell in the crowd thus causing instant chest trauma. Ritchie was pronounced dead at the scene.
I googled Berlin Ritchie and the only thing result was this wikipedia article. Anybody have proof? If not, I'm gonna delete it. DonMEGĂ60645 Talk| Contribs 13:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I deleted it because I haven't heard anything about the incident and there's no proof anywhere on the net, as you said. Surely news like that would be recorded somewhere on the internet. It sounds like a form of vandalism to me.
I read that his death was changed from October 22 2000 to December 24 2006. I can't clarify if thats true or not. Does anybody know what his true date of death was? If so please change it. I'm not so sure if its vandalism because I myself aren't sure when he died.
This article is clearly vandalized and needs thorough cleaning. The n-word and other forms of cursing and defamatory language is being utilized. Facts are also changed and the article has lost its relevance.
Regarding this edit, no, that version was deemed to be unsourced and a violation of the WP:A and WP:V version on Wikipedia as you can clearly see a few lines above this very post I am making, so until there are sources the article must stay at the version previous to that revision. You must realize that while this person is not alive anyomnre, WP:LIVING still applies as the person's relatives are still living and could sue Wikipedia for false information being presented. This is policy, you can read more about it at WP:BLP.

Speaking of his death, there's not one detail about it in the article. (except the date) Can anyone add to it, please? --

The section on his death is completely incorrect from a medical perspective. Fluid on the lungs does not mean he didn’t die from heart failure. Heart failure normally kills people by causing fluid on the lungs, aka pulmonary oedema. The failing heart is too weak to pump away the fluid that is reaching the lungs via the other side of the circulatory system.
The result of the proposal was

In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :)

The image Image:Yokozunafujiraw.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

It lists his billed weight as 589 pounds. He was never billed at that weight in the WWF. He was billed at 6'4" and 505, 568, and 641 pounds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.108.139.177 ( talk) 13:04, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Anoa'i wasn't in AWA for seven years. He was in Universal Wrestling Federation even if briefly. He faced Ron Simmons in one match for sure. Mr. C.C. Hey yo! I didn't do it! 03:25, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
I have heard that months before his death in 1999, he appeared at the infamous "Heroes Of Wrestling". He was rumored to be around 750-760 pounds. He stated he was purposely trying to get bigger, as his goal was to be 800-900 pounds. He died weeks after his birthday on October 22, 2000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.143.209.120 ( talk) 06:41, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
