Why have you reverted the vitalstatistics?(
Halbared 21:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC))reply
Well apart from the US (and aspects of the UK) the whole world uses metric as their primary system. I think it's looks sloppy to have a few stats a different way around, since this is an English speaking Wiki. But I'll leave it.(
Halbared 09:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC))reply
UK stats
Should be in Imperial first. It is the most widely recognised form of weight and height measurement and is still used for our other athletes like boxers. If you go to a British wrestling event, they do not announce people in metric, they are announced in Imperial, please do not put metric first. The stats of British wreslters should be in Imperial (British) measurement first and then metric.(

Punk's vice format
The reason I keep changing it is because the current format doesn't follow other previous finishers i.e. the ones listed in
Kurt Angle,
Fit Finlay or
Edge. I realise that Punk is a special case with using the same name but a different move but it looks awkward. ---
Lid 10:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)reply
The reverse hurricanrana links to the reverse frankensteiner under throws rather than reverse frankensteiner under aerial. The distinction is for people to diffenciate that Punk does both the top rope and standing versions and that in modern wrestling the name frankensteiner is only ever used in the top rope version while it is in nearly every case referred to as a harracanrana rather than a frankensteiner. ---

RVDs Manuvers List
Why did you revert my edit to his manuvers list? Van Dam has done the diving leg drop as a finisher several times in ECW, finished a lot of great tag team matches with it, and yet you move it to a signature move. RVD has done a running leg lariat at the turnbuckle 2x so far, and it should be added. I labelled the superkick as a side kick because Tazz refers to it as a side kick, and if you didnt notice, in the superkick page, the superkick is also called a side kick. Im gonna put it back to the way i put it b4, and 1 more question, why is the split legged moonsault set as a hollywood star press 1st, then split legged moonsault after? Arent you supposed to label the current name in front of past names? Thats the way it is in Shelton Benjamin's page, so i think thats the way it should be labelled in the list. Also, i think it should just be called "Finishing and signature moves" instead of 2 seperate things, because some moves are used as BOTH finishing and signature, and people shouldnt be confused over if the split legged moonsault and diving leg drop is a current finisher, signature move, or BOTH. Just my opinion on the situation. I left something on the RVD Discussion page, so if you can answer my comments, answer it there until I get my talk page up and running. Thanks =).

No problem. I'd say "reverse side throw" is a better phrase to be honest though. Almost every judo site I've checked describes it as a reverse throw, so phrasing it the other way is very confusing.

Morishima Takeshi
I altered the shown name of his signature suplex to 'waistlock suplex' purely for the reason that people were not checking the definition of Saito Suplex and changing it. I thought an English description might persuade them not to. I've noticed NOAH commentators seem to call it "Back Suplex", but it clearly fits the definition for Saito suplex and I'm happy to leave it as that.
Suriel1981 13:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)reply
Btw, I noticed you removed the internal link to the WP Budokan Hall page and removed Morishima's signature missile dropkick, I've assumed both were a mistake.
Suriel1981 13:32, 2 March 2007 (UTC)reply
Morishima likes to use a front dropkick off the top turnbuckle for near-pinfalls. It's become something of a signature move because wrestlers that big don't usually do missile dropkicks.

Terry Funk
First off, as far as the punch combo, he climaxed with a big LEFT hand. Watch one of his matches and see. Secondly, winning one deathmatch with a punch hardly equates to making that move the wrestler's main finisher. Thirdly, the Hangman's neckbreaker (called as such) and DDT have been regularly used in Funk matches. Again, watch one of his matches and see. Ergo me reverting their removal.

Why have you reverted the vitalstatistics?(
Halbared 21:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC))reply
Well apart from the US (and aspects of the UK) the whole world uses metric as their primary system. I think it's looks sloppy to have a few stats a different way around, since this is an English speaking Wiki. But I'll leave it.(
Halbared 09:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC))reply
UK stats
Should be in Imperial first. It is the most widely recognised form of weight and height measurement and is still used for our other athletes like boxers. If you go to a British wrestling event, they do not announce people in metric, they are announced in Imperial, please do not put metric first. The stats of British wreslters should be in Imperial (British) measurement first and then metric.(

Punk's vice format
The reason I keep changing it is because the current format doesn't follow other previous finishers i.e. the ones listed in
Kurt Angle,
Fit Finlay or
Edge. I realise that Punk is a special case with using the same name but a different move but it looks awkward. ---
Lid 10:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)reply
The reverse hurricanrana links to the reverse frankensteiner under throws rather than reverse frankensteiner under aerial. The distinction is for people to diffenciate that Punk does both the top rope and standing versions and that in modern wrestling the name frankensteiner is only ever used in the top rope version while it is in nearly every case referred to as a harracanrana rather than a frankensteiner. ---

RVDs Manuvers List
Why did you revert my edit to his manuvers list? Van Dam has done the diving leg drop as a finisher several times in ECW, finished a lot of great tag team matches with it, and yet you move it to a signature move. RVD has done a running leg lariat at the turnbuckle 2x so far, and it should be added. I labelled the superkick as a side kick because Tazz refers to it as a side kick, and if you didnt notice, in the superkick page, the superkick is also called a side kick. Im gonna put it back to the way i put it b4, and 1 more question, why is the split legged moonsault set as a hollywood star press 1st, then split legged moonsault after? Arent you supposed to label the current name in front of past names? Thats the way it is in Shelton Benjamin's page, so i think thats the way it should be labelled in the list. Also, i think it should just be called "Finishing and signature moves" instead of 2 seperate things, because some moves are used as BOTH finishing and signature, and people shouldnt be confused over if the split legged moonsault and diving leg drop is a current finisher, signature move, or BOTH. Just my opinion on the situation. I left something on the RVD Discussion page, so if you can answer my comments, answer it there until I get my talk page up and running. Thanks =).

No problem. I'd say "reverse side throw" is a better phrase to be honest though. Almost every judo site I've checked describes it as a reverse throw, so phrasing it the other way is very confusing.

Morishima Takeshi
I altered the shown name of his signature suplex to 'waistlock suplex' purely for the reason that people were not checking the definition of Saito Suplex and changing it. I thought an English description might persuade them not to. I've noticed NOAH commentators seem to call it "Back Suplex", but it clearly fits the definition for Saito suplex and I'm happy to leave it as that.
Suriel1981 13:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)reply
Btw, I noticed you removed the internal link to the WP Budokan Hall page and removed Morishima's signature missile dropkick, I've assumed both were a mistake.
Suriel1981 13:32, 2 March 2007 (UTC)reply
Morishima likes to use a front dropkick off the top turnbuckle for near-pinfalls. It's become something of a signature move because wrestlers that big don't usually do missile dropkicks.

Terry Funk
First off, as far as the punch combo, he climaxed with a big LEFT hand. Watch one of his matches and see. Secondly, winning one deathmatch with a punch hardly equates to making that move the wrestler's main finisher. Thirdly, the Hangman's neckbreaker (called as such) and DDT have been regularly used in Funk matches. Again, watch one of his matches and see. Ergo me reverting their removal.
