Should any Stable /Tag team affiliation be stated under "notes" on the roster? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.226.237.58 (talk) 08:32, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, because it would lead to constant chaos - keep things as simple as possible. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:07, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I personally disagree with Lana being listed as a wrestler now. Somebody is insisting that she remains listed as a wrestler because she had small brawls with Summer Rae. In my opinion, brawls don't count as wrestling, and that I don't think she should be considered a wrestler until she wrestles a televised match or if one's announced. It's like The New Age Outlaws, Vince and Stephanie, El Torito, Hornswoggle, the commentators, etc. Whadayya think? Future WWE Champion, DrewieStewie (talk) 21:55, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Totally agree. Wrestle a match first. starship.paint ~ KO 01:48, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: this is not the right page to request additional user rights. You may reopen this request with the specific changes to be made and someone will add them for you, or if you have an account, you can wait until you are autoconfirmed and edit the page yourself.

One would not be incorrect to label Lana, Hornswoggle, and El Torito as wrestlers.

Lana is obviously in a feud with Summer Rae (as an offshoot of the Ziggler-Rusev feud), she has brawled with Summer, and it's apparent that it's leading to a match between the two (either one-on-one, or a mixed tag with their respective fellas). And the women should be given more leeway regarding this issue compared to the men anyway, as they don't wrestle nearly as many matches as the guys do (1 diva match - MAYBE 2 if they're lucky - per card)

Lana is no longer just a wall flower who stays on the outside.

And Torito and Horny have wrestled a ton of times. Granted mostly as comedy acts and not serious competitors, but they've wrestled plenty, and are not merely sidekicks.

Vjmlhds (talk) 00:51, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you on Torito and Horny, but Lana has NO match on her resume. She trained to wrestle, but got injured and couldn't do it at that time. She was put on as manager, and with Dolph, has had some physical segments with Summer, but that doesn't mean she has wrestled an actual match. If I were you, I'd wait until she has wrestled a televised match (or has one announced). I personally think she'll be a wrestler soon, but I don't think it'll happen for another couple weeks minimum, or until SummerSlam maximum. For now, Lana, who has no match on resume, I just think we should wait until she does a match or if ones announced. Future WWE Champion, DrewieStewie (talk) 01:00, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're splitting too many hairs here. It's very apparent that she and Summer are gonna have some business, and it's become obvious that she's graduated from from mere manager to a fighting diva. People like Paul Heyman or Zeb Colter or Hogan/Lita/Gunn (Tough Enough) are there in non-physical roles, and are listed as such. Lana has clearly made the jump from that status. Personally, I think the "Other on-air personnel" list should be strictly for those in non-physical roles. Once Lana started throwing down with Summer, and it became clear that they're destined for a match, then Lana showed that she's above being merely "other personnel".

WP:CRYSTALBALL says you're woefully incorrect to do this. RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 00:34, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• @Vjmlhds: - if you're so confident Lana will wrestle, why don't you wait until she actually does? Horny and Torito are wrestlers, but Lana isn't yet. starship.paint ~ KO 01:51, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If anybody can give any evidence to the contrary, go ahead. But being a guest timekeeper at a house show nine months ago does not equate to evidence he has signed a contract. RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 15:46, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So I wonder how do you change the profile of a wrestler Ak47wwe (talk) 14:54, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lana and Stephanie McMahon should stay in the main roster.

Lana is clearly feuding with Summer Rae, and everything is setting up for them to wrestle each other in either a singles or mixed tag match (with Ziggler and Rusev).

And women wrestlers should be cut a bit more slack than the males, as they don't wrestle as often as men do anyway.

Stephanie is in the HHH category of saving his bullets for major feuds and angles, as she has wrestled the Bellas (with that feud main eventing Raw a couple of times last year), and has some business with Rhonda Rousey - which was set up last year at WrestleMania, and is rumored to culminate this year at Mania.

This is something relatively new in wrestling, where WWE is using people like Brock, Taker, Rock, Sting, HHH, and Stephanie in spurts for feuds leading up to major shows, then they disappear/fade into the background for awhile, and then they come back for their next feud/match, and so on, and so on.

Gotta have some wiggle room for stuff like this - no need to be so rigid.

Vjmlhds (talk) 19:01, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As I told you, I think they should stay in the Other on air personnel. Both have feuds, but they aren't wrestlers, the point of the section Female wrestlers. A feud doesn't transform a valet/comentator/referee into a wrestler. A lot of personnel had matches (Heyman, Long, Laurinitis, Michael Cole...) but they aren't wrestlers. Also, some of your thoughts are CRYSTALBALL ("everything is setting up for them to wrestle each other", "has some business with Rhonda Rousey"). It doesn't make Lana and McMahon wrestlers, they still a valet and an Authority Figure. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 17:03, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They are occasional wrestlers, yet they are mostly on-air personalities. They stay in the on -air personalities part of the page as I have put them. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 17:15, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

HHH and Steph are way above Heyman and Coulter - you see Heyman and Coulter getting major Wrestlemania matches every year like HHH does? Not all "other on-air personnel" are the same HHH still is viewed as a major attraction, which is why he gets high profile matches on PPV every year - to lump him in the same grouping as Paul Heyman and Zeb Coulter is misleading. Heath Slater wrestles 200 matches a year - do those matches mean as much to WWE as 1 or 2 yearly HHH matches? - gotta have some perspective here. Vjmlhds (talk) 17:23, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

im sorry... Levels? Another OR. Here are four levels:wrestlers, broadcast team, referees and other. No matter mcmahon have a superior status to heyman or colter, it doesnt make her a wrestler. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 17:48, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a list of personnel, not a list of wrestlers alone. They occasionally wrestle, but they are not billed as such. And you sir, are in an edit war with the other user which is not permitted. Until a consensus is made here, you should not be moving them. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 17:30, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Who does the billing? Joe Schmo Wikipedia editor or WWE? Vjmlhds (talk) 18:00, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This "occasional wrestler" thing has got to go - you either wrestle or you don't.

HHH wrestles on major shows every year, Stephanie is starting to as well, Lana is building up to a match with Summer Rae in some form or fashion.

Whether you wrestle 2 matches per year or 200 shouldn't matter.

Should we move the wrestlers that have ring names and appear at NXT house shows to the NXT roster? I know the rule states we only move them if they appeared on the show and are on the website, but can we make an exception? I'm only asking for the ones that do have ring names and not the ones that don't. Keith Okamoto (talk) 00:12, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above. Wrestlers such as Elias Samson and Peyton Royce have ring names and have appeared on television - and even have WWE-sanctioned Twitter accounts - so surely should count as NXT wrestlers as opposed to "unassigned"? IanPCP (talk) 09:32, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
