[edit] Page length

According to Wikipedia, this page is too long. Some of the subsections, preferably the ones with main article links, should be shortened. --JFred 22:01, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I dont think its long enough. I want to know about everything not just parts of it. Don.-.J 14:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

we will HAVE to give Capitol Wrestling its own article!!! --Too Cool 14:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

dudes, i know CWC is part of WWE's history but this page is too long. --Too Cool 05:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

any comments? --Too Cool 08:25, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't think the page is too long. I like it. --Tommyf10170 05:23, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

This article is unbelievably poorly written202.59.22.246 (talk) 04:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WWE novels

So far there has been 2 novels made by WWE. Journey into Darkness and Big Apple Take Down is this worth any mention on the article. Bencey 14:13, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

They should be added. --Tommyf10170 05:23, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PRIDE and WWE

Excuse me, but the proposed deal between WWE and PRIDE FC has been called Off! Why? because Nobuyuki Sakakibara the president of PRIDE has handed over PRIDE to Lorenzo Fertita, also one of the co-owners of Zuffa, the parent of the UFC. Im the one who had posted about the deal between PRIDE and the WWE in the article a long time ago, probably under a different IP address, and now the deal is Off so i feel it should be removed. Sakakibara explains about his decision to hand over the the company to the Feritas in this article, he also states that all planned and proposed deals between all other companies, inluding WWE and Wall Street investors, etc have been cancelled due to the move, Click here for article . I had removed the info about their deal in the article before, but it was reverted, and so im explaining the issue here on the discussion page. Thank you! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.4.77.150 (talk) 05:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Benoit

Should there be a Death of Benoit part, granted the WWE had nothing to do with his death or the murders he committed, but I was just wondering if there should be something mentioned in this history part about that since it has effected the WWE in some way since it's been on the news and the steriod controversy that's brought back up.

That's a good question

I personally think that there should be a Benoit section because as stated above that it has had a profound effect on the WWE, and caused controversy.

[edit] Sports Entertainment or Professional Wrestling?

Should WWE be referred to as a sports entertainment promotion or professional wrestling promotion? -- Tommyf10170 05:23, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Both. Lrrr IV 02:21, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chris Benoit's Double Murder-Suicide

On June 24, 2007, Chris Benoit was supposed to wrestle CM Punk at the WWE's monthly pay-per-view event, Vengeance, but did not show up to the arena. It was later that the WWE had found out that Benoit had murdered his wife and son and then hung himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.151.234 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Where did the Benoit heading go?

The Benoit murder-suicide was a very important even in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment. There was a section previously on here, why was it removed? JSelby 21:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Owen Hart section has no references and is incorrect

This is Fresh Price Carlton here, I am very peeved at the way the article is sourced ([38] but no source link) an the facts are wrong. I am so blatant about the facts being wrong becasue I have a book in my hand now called: Sex, lies and headlocks: the true story of vince mcmahon and the WWF. It states in the intro facts conflicting with the facts stated in this page. For Example: It sates he fell 80 feet and he hit his head head against the turnbuckle causing his head to jerk back violently. He did not die in the ring, and it is not confirmed if he was DOA. Like I said before the section has: unsourced and incorrect facts, typed poorly and is vague. Can this be further discussed so the section can be properly fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.180.227 (talk) 00:10, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
