And I removed it because it is nothing but a trivial footnote in the career of Koko B. Ware. do you know what "notability" is? a one off appearance at a local indy fed isn't that. MPJ -US 21:13, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Special appearances"[edit]

I'm not exactly sure how the unfortunate death of Koko B. Ware's wife to cancer qualifies as a special appearance.--96.250.230.117 (talk) 13:59, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't. I'm assuming it was placed there for chronologcial purposes, but I've moved it into a newly created personal life section. NiciVampireHeart 11:47, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Change probably needs to be made[edit]

19, he defeated The Genius and followed it up a night later with three more wins over Poffo later that month.[22

That makes no sense. How did he follow it up a night Katerina with 3 more wins later that month ? Were the all 3 matches filmed on the same night ?

If so , it should say so , so it doesn't come off so dumb 2600:1000:B02A:12BA:0:63:F9C6:6601 (talk) 21:15, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name[edit]

Whatever the subject's birth name is, it should ultimately be based on reliable sources, rather than hearsay. Pro wrestler articles aren't my bailiwick, but if anyone wants to address this with accurate info based on hard citations, that would be a useful improvement for the article.
