Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional wrestling: Difference between revisions

:::::It looks like a good start. I think the biggest concern in its current form is that the sources may not be reliable sources per WP:RS. I would recommend using the search forms at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Sources]] (substituting in your search terms in the quotation marks, and using a variety of terms: rib, ribbing, prank, practical joke, jokester, etc., possibly in conjunction with specific wrestlers who were known to do these sorts of things). There should be reliable sources for these, and I think it would be possible to write a paragraph about how this sometimes includes defecation (e.g. in Jerry Lawler's crown, Alundra Blayze's bag, etc.). I don't know if popculture.com would be a reliable source, but there is an article at [https://popculture.com/wwe/news/scott-hall-most-disgusting-prank-wwe-history/ https://popculture.com/wwe/news/scott-hall-most-disgusting-prank-wwe-history/] that discusses this prank: ''In wrestling, pooping in a peer's bag is the ultimate "gotcha" and wrestlers have used this trick for decades as a backwards way to police their locker room...."Fuji was most known for the s--t rib and he passed it on to Curt who passed it on to X-Pac, and if they don't like you, they just s--t in your bag. And sometimes it would be multiple s--ts. It would be different textures and it was like I never really participate in any of that. I was aware it was happening. I never s--t in anybody's bag," explained [Scott] Hall...."I never wanted to see it because some guys would walk around and go, 'wow, look' to me and I'd go, 'no, I believe you'. Then, they'd s--t in your bag if they didn't like you and depending on how you sold it, they even did it to Madusa, Alundra Blayze. She came in with a little bit of an attitude and she got s--t ribbed. Sunny and Chris Candido, Skip and Sunny, ooh, one time on a European tour, they got s--t ribbed," Hall remembered...."And Curt would do the upper decker. He would go in your room, if he could get in your house, he'd like it even better," illustrated Hall. He would go in your hotel room and lift the back of the toilet, like the part where the flushing stuff goes, he'd s--t in there and put the lid back on and you'd be smelling it for days!"'' If you (or anyone) could find a reliable source for some of this information, it would help build up the article. There are also the personal attacks that are often categorized as ribs--Vince McMahon naming Mike Jones "Virgil" as a prank/attack on Dusty Rhodes, WCW naming Mike Jones "Vincent" to get back at McMahon, wrestlers in TNA forming the Voodoo Kin Mafia as a prank/attack on Vincent K. McMahon. That could make for a paragraph, and all of those name-related "ribs" could be sourced to the WrestleCrap books/site.

::::::Awesome, I definitely agree with you that it can be expanded and improved and appreciate your suggestions on how to do so. I have to admit I'm pretty reassured that you see it as a good start, since it took some work. I'll try to build it up and see what I can find using the links you recommended at some point later on if noone else beats me to it.
